your favourite flourocarbon as main line 2024

papacoolbreeze reply :

what are your prefered types of flourocarbon line for your main line? spinning and casting reels.

Grey Wolf reply :

Welcome aboard.

Don't use the stuff myself but a lot of other people here do.

hjerk24 reply :

Vanish has always been a good confidence line for me. Usually 8-10 lb. for my spinning. have used others, but Vanish has caught me a lot of fish, and I just like it on my spinning tackle. I have not used fleuro on my bait casters, but will try this year. I look forward to some responses related to bait casters, so I can learn, and use some good info for this years set-ups.

THX----

Good thread.

ProCraft Joe reply :

I use Seaguar Invisix on my spinning rod and Berkley 100% on my casting rods.

papacoolbreeze reply :

thanks for the answers so far... i just recently learned the benefits of using flouro as your main line, so what i always do is go check the reviews on cabelas and basspro and it seems that a specific p-line and yo zuri do the best but hoo knows thats just what the reviews said but cant wait to see more opinions.

Wayne P. reply :

I've tried several and have found XPS to have the characteristics I like.

Trilene 100% Flouro

BARON49_Northern NY reply :

I used Berkley 100% Fluoro last year and when freshly spooled on a reel it seemed to work well. However, after having in on the reel for a few weeks out in the sun I found the exposed line to turn brittle and I would have to pull off several yards before I could get a knot to hold.

It seems an expensive line would have some UV protection built in. Other then it getting brittle it did work well and was very sensitive and abrasion resitant. I don't like mono or fluoro for spinning reels, so I have only used 12 to 17 lb.

x2 When I got some spare change I will go with Sunline Shooter.

David P reply :

Trilene 100% fluoro, although I'm going to order some Shooter very shortly to give it a shot.

hawgchaser reply :

Seaguar for me but I do not use flouro on spinning tackle.

papacoolbreeze reply :

Fish MD reply :

I have used Trilene Professional Grade 100% Flouro since it's release and although I don't like the green, I LOVE the clear.

One day when I was at Cabelas, I tried their 100% flourocarbon and I swear it's the same thing. You can get 600 yards for the same price as 200 of the Trilene and it's just as good. It doesn't come in tints yet that may happen sometime.

I used flouro on every reel and rod except for top water (mono) and my heavy flipping stick (braid), even my spinning reels. I swear by the stuff and would highly recommend at least trying the 200 yrd spool for flouro users.

The Cabelas Flouro is made by Seaguar, so it's basically Seaguar InvisX in a different box.

ww2farmer reply :

Trilene Professional Grade 100% Flurocarbon for me. I had ZERO issues with it last year, and will continue to use it with confidence. Baron49, UV resistant is soposedly one of flurocarbon line benifits, I did not expierance your problem at all, and my rods sat out on the deck in the hot sun quite often, as I fish as often as 7 days a week, and rarley less than 3. Now when not in use my boat is under cover out of the sun/heat, maybe this is what the difference is?

Bryant. reply :

I currently use the 100% floro, but the Pline floro is very nice as well.

Seaguar spools Cabelas line. Carbon Pro=Cabelas No-Viz....Inviz-X=Cabelas No-Viz Xtra. They have discontinued the NoViz Xtra, and you can get a 600yd spool for like $20 in the bargain cave right now. Inviz-X users should jump on it.

Natural,

I noticed they have their house brand mono and braid discounted as well. Any idea what is up with that? Are they possibly switching manufacturers of their house lines?

Bud reply :

You guys who want to try shooters you will not be sorry. Great line but expensive.. It is all I use. Bud

casterus60 reply :

I have used Trilene 100% fluorocarbon with no problems,since I switched to all braid.

The Next KVD reply :

P-Line 100% fluro. Good managability, very sensitive, tough abrasion resistance. and most cost effiecent fluoro I have found besides Vicious and Vanish (junk). For the price of most fluoros you get 250 yds of P-Line vs 200yds of the competitors.

Fishing Doug- No; they are indeed discontinuing a few lines, but Seaguar still makes the Cabelas leader material and the Cabelas No-Viz.

shootermcbob reply :

I have used Cabelas no-vis, and bass pro xps and have found them both to be very satisfactory.

Thanks for the info. Good to know.

Micropterus salmoides reply :

I've only used two fluorocarbons, one for casting and one for spinning.

I am very impressed with Toray Super Hard Upgrade, which I have used in 16lb and 20lb for jigs and texas rigs on a couple of baitcasters. Based on TackleTour's fluorocarbon showdown it is the most abrasion resistant fluorocarbon they reviewed, a quality I was looking for since I was switching from P-Line CXX, a notoriously highly abrasion resistant line. It has low stretch and provides great sensitivity. It also lasts a long time. I had a spool of 20lb last from April to December and only respooled because I was dropping to 16lb. The only downside I've noticed is because it is a stiffer line it is important not to backlash or get kinks in the line. It definitely requires more management, but nothing that is time consuming or frustrating.

The other fluorocarbon I have used is Sunline FC Sniper on my spinning setup. It can be tricky to spool on without getting twists and loops but I like it so far. I've only used it on a few occasions so I don't know all its on the water characterisitics.

One tip for using fluorocarbon is to apply KVD Lure & Line when spooling it on and after use. I have found that this stuff makes fluorocarbon more user friendly and manageable.

papacoolbreeze reply :

i also read the fc showdown from tackle tour it was enterntaining. but has anyone tried or heard of lucky crafts line called iron athelete they have a flourocarbon line a mono line and i floating mono line and a braid. i would like to know how iron athletes flourocarbon compares to others.

basser89 reply :

BPS XPS Fluro for me. I may give Suffix's fluro a shot this year. It'll have to be very impressive for me to switch to it though.

Same for....after unhappiness with a few of them I found my best.

Primus reply :

12#, 14# & 17#, BPS or Pline for my casting reels. I prefer to use Gamma on my spinning reels, good combination of strength & manageablity.

Stingray23 reply :

I had Vanish last year and its pure GARBAGE! This season I'm using Seaguars Invizix. I hope its good.

The_Natural reply :

Toray is great line; they spool for BPS. I've heard Sunline is spooled by Toray....yes, Sunline doesn't extrude their own line. Supposedly there are only two or three manufacturers of fluorocarbon in the world.

SJex reply :

BPS XPS Fluorocarbon, never needed to try any others.

I second the "Vanish is garbage motion", I'd rather fish with an anchor rope
