Have been using fluro lines for years, all of them work well if you tie the knots properly and qwet them before you draw them up.My favorite ones are seagar, vanish, and bps in that order.

If anyone has Vanish 4-6lb line please send it to me. It works well on the F-n-F...Haven't broken off a fish on it yet.

I've tried Berkley, Stren, Trilene, BPS Excel and have lost fish on all of them. I switched to P-Line about 3 years ago and have not lost a fish on it yet. Just like it was mentioned earlier, this line is almost impossible to break even when you want too. It will always be P-line for me.

i didnt care much for it, not because of line or knot strength,
but rather the stiffness of it. i had a hard time controlling it.
im on board with the bps excel, dang hard to beat for the money.
i have been using it exclusivly on all my caro rigs and never lost a fish due to the leader breaking wish i could say the same for gamigatzo hooks but I am pretty anal about retying my knots maybe that is the difference
I use Vanish 4lb test for all my trout fishing at the Cumberland River. I have had great luck with it, and no break offs like some of the other folks here. It casts a mile and doesn't tangle. I have not used the heavier stuff and can't vouch for it.
holy crap.. raising the dead threads much?
Same thing for me, have broken off a lot of fish and snags with the Vanish...swore off the stuff.
Vanish = JUNK and Vanish Transition = JUNK
Bass Pro Shops XPS Flourocarbon is the best line out there IMO
Berkley Vanish Transition is the worst line I have ever used but Berkley Vanish is the ONLY line I will crank with. Then for most other applications it is Vicious flourocarbon.
I thought this line had "vanished" by now. I had the same experiences as most others - broken knots everytime there was a decent fish.
I spooled up Vanish one time. The rest of the spool vanished into the garbage can. A very disappointing product from Berkley.
I use Berkley Big Game quite a bit and love it! I have plans to try Berkley's TransOptic line and also want to try their 100% fluorocarbon... For now, as far as fluorocarbon goes, I'm a believer in Bass Pro Shops XPS...

Go to the link above and read the reviews. I'm convinced the poor reviews are posted by people who don't fish much.
