    P line Halo easy to manage even in cooler water conditions, I've had good luck with it.

    P-line Halo and Seaguar Invisx are the best 2 moderate priced flouro's that I've used. I lean a little toward the Halo because the mist green color is just a little easier to see than the clear. Sunline Shooter is far and away the best flouro on the market IMO but you'll need to mortgage your house to buy it.

    I've tried a few, and so far I like the seaguar plain floro the best, BPS has a decent one. I did not like the berkley vanish too much - except for the really light ones (6-8#). Those are the only three I have tried, and I am happy with the seaguar in performance and price - So I will stick with it for a while.

    I am still experimenting but would say stear clear of the Berkley Vanish. It really tangles worse than a couple others I have tried.

    Re: Fluorocarbon?

    Here are two flouro tests from tackle tour that might help? It's decent reading...

    First Test
    http://www.tackletour.com/reviewfluorocarbontest.html

    Sequel
    http://www.tackletour.com/reviewfluorocarbon2.html

    There is a lot you can take out of this.

    Here is what I got from it. I was using P-Line but I'm going to also try BPS as well and compare the two this year. I've never had problems with Pline but BPS gets a lot of high ratings in these tests and from people on this board.

    Hope this helps...

    Thumbs down Re: Fluorocarbon?

    This is a great thread. I have been looking to buy my first 100% floro. I had some Vanish Transition and HATED IT!

    BSP XPS Flourocarbon - Best hands down, in my opinion

    Vanish and Vanish Transition not worth the box it comes in, too brittle, breaks too easy and does not perform any where near the BSP XPS, nothing but a big waste of my money when I tried them and I gave both of them a fair shot before finding XPS.

    Any one try the Trilene Professional Fluoro. I looked at it and gave it the bite test. It seems like it has alot of stretch. If anybody is using it, is it as good as the Seaguar.
