Seaguar AbrazX Fluorocarbon Line

[bereabasser]

I have the invis-x on 3 reels right now and it seems to have alot fo memory and pline seems the same for me...im going to try the vicious line of flouro,ive heard nothing but good about that stuff

I like the invisx so much I've started buying it in the 1000 yard bulk spools. A bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

[SuperSprint007]

The AbrarX has a higher tensile strenth than the InvisX, it should have a little less memory then the InvisX and a lot less than the Carbon Pro. Carbon Pro does not work well with spinning reels.
There is also a cheaper version coming out called Red Label, in looking at the test done it will be the best of the lines in knot strength with the least stretch of the four lines. it is also ranks lowest between the four in softness and abrasion resistance... sounds like a cheaper version of P-line to me, and since Seaguar make most of the flourocarbon lines in the market it would not surprise me to be the same quality as P-line. just my two cents.

I've never used Seaguar but this link might help those who do.

Yeah your right supersprint, I failed to mention I was using this particular line on a spinning reel. The main reason all this came about was I fished Sunday and had just spooled my reel with Pline Flurocarbon coated line - brand new outta the box and I broke off 2 fish in a row. I didn't have any invizx left over from last year and no time to go get more, so I tried and it cost me! In 2008 I tried nearly 10 different Flurocarbon lines and the seaguar was the overall best performer "On a spinning reel", and Berea sorry but the vicious line had some of the worst memory of them all IMO, but I have been able to tame down the memory with that KVD line and lure stuff, but boy oh boy don't get it on your hands it is seriously slick stuff!!

Thanks for your opinion guys, I kind of think I'm not going to re-invent the wheel and stick with the InvizX because I'm scared of the memory problems (and I bought a Symetre reel which has an adjustment for Flurocarbon lines)

Thanks for the link Todd. Have seen it. Looks like AbrazX are much better than InvixZ overall. As for Carbon Pro, the worst of 4 at tensile and knot strength that cost me good cranks. Definitely gonna try AbrazX! I'll test it with a cheapeast crank I can find.

AbrazX has the same line diameter from 12 lb to 25 lb at .011 If it is not typo, I'd use 25 lb just to be safe

I think it is a typo because the InvizX has the same MM diameter with a different "in" dimension

Seems to work for me. seemed a little stronger and worked better around the rocky stuff tried 15, 12. and 6...

I've been using all Seaguar's products for years in tournaments, on spinning and casting. They each have a purpose. For instance, Carbon pro has less shine and is good for gin-clear water.

As far as breakage, I know a lot of guys that give up on fluorocarbon b/c they think it just "breaks" at random. This stuff is sensitive to the slightest kinks, and sunlight. If you get even a small kink (e.g. from a backlash), you might as well cut it off. Kinks can happen easily while loading your spool with new line, if you're winding too fast, or not paying close attention; particularly on spinning gear. Hence, the feeling that brand new line is randomly failing.

Knots: If you've been using a section of line for a while, try cutting it off (15-20ft) to get knots to hold right. Knots won't hold on fatigued fluorocarbon. Also, your knots must be absolutely perfect and wet when tightened. You won't have much luck using a sloppy tying technique you can get away with using mono.

I have used the Red Labed all season long. I haven't had the first problem using it -- I use the 15#, 20#, and 25#. It is considerably cheaper, and is some of the best fluorocarbon I have ever spooled up. I haven't tried InvisX or AbrazX yet, although I would like to.

I been using Abrarx for 5 weeks now. Love it! I been throwing DT3 with 20lb test and it has been great. No problems and it is so smooth right off the spool, unlike transition or even some plines(which is stiffer). I am a week away from coming down to barkley for the a week will have 12-20lb test in the boat. The water has been very clear up here and have caught alot of fish on fireline crystal with a 8lb invis-x leader throwing a jerkbait. But the AbrarX I been rubbin docks, lifts and big flat rock with that square bill and it has been super. Going to try it crankin 12lb abrarX tomorrow if the water is dingy enough. I think it is a very smooth and doesn't nick up easy. Worth the $.
