Vicious Fluorocarbon

[thebassman30]

I've never tried Invizix, why would it only be good if I fished a few times a year? I fish 2-3 times a week, but I change line often. I never tried floro on spinning reels, it seems too stiff, Can it be used on spinning? How is it in the cold? Do I need to tie a special knot? Are you saying you put conditioner on the line when you put it on the reel? Help me out, please.

The reason for purchasing a more expensive brand would be...
A. You fish tournaments where every fish counts.
B. You only fish a few times a year and you don't want to chance equipment issues with that little time.

Every line is at some point going to wear out and you'll need to take it off. This is why I'm always looking for a cheaper alternative. Vicious is treating me right so far.

Spinning is where I use the 6 and yes I apply the line conditioner to the line while loading it and then again before I start fishing. I use the KVD pump spray. 2-3 blasts with that and you've covered your line.

I've fished with it down to the low 20s with no problem. It will freeze if you apply it out on the water in really cold temps though so I'd do it before and then practice good maintenance.

The Palomar is the knot to tie. Here is how to tie it so you don't burn the line.

the 10 to 12 times? InvizX is my go to line on the rods that need Fluro for certain fishing situations, I am on KY/Barkley lakes a minimum of 100 days a year flippin' pitchin' and casting my rear off and this line has been the most subtle line I've found in the price range. And Seaguar to my knowledge makes line for many different manufacturers so you may want to see where they make it for and try, the cabelas thing is very interesting.

This line will never be in my reels again as long as I live, Everything about it is horrible. I broke off several fish with this sub-par flouro. Bite the bullit and buy you some invisx.

While we are talking about flurocarbon lines wold anyone tell me how the new Berkley 100% fluorocarbon is. I have used it and have not broke a fish off yet but half the time when I go to cinch my knot down it breaks on me. Just wondering what you guys have to say about it.

i use the vicious12 for deep jigs and 17 for night fishing and for texas rigging big worms and really like it.everyone is going to the smaller reels nowdays that dont hold much line anyway so for the price you can replace it without having to work overtime.

Now I see why they claim Vicious is so strong. Check out this line diameter comparison I found. I think I'll stick with XPS and InvisX.

Vicious 8lb - .11"
InvisX 8lb- .009"

Thats something alot of fisherman seem to miss. And its not just them its also p-line and others. Now if diameter is of no concern go for it.

I recently found this Fluorocarbon Product testing that was very interesting. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewfluorocarbontest.html

It doesn't cover Vicious, but it does cover XPS and Invizix...my favorites if money is not an issue.

Berkley 100% flouro and vicious flouro and berkley vanish is by far the worst lines on the market. I hate all three. I actually hate all line the berkley makes. My fav. lines are seaguar and bps excel for nightfishing and the clear for lakes that are not crystal clear. If your looking for a good flouro go with the seagaur invisx.

I use the Improved Cinche(spelling?) knot and don't have a problem, You do have to retie often no matter what line you use.
