    ive been noticing the same problem with the 6lb test, but the 10lb test has worked well the clear blue flouesent. I switched back to trilene xl clear blue flourescent.

    Yep same thing here in the 12lb test. Thought it was just me. And yes if you look at the old box's of the Bass Pro Line, it has an American Flag on the front. That has been removed and replaced with a "Made in China" on the back in very fine print. Almost mad me made when I found out.

    Just found out yesterday that trilen and stren are made a the same place now. This came FROM the manger of fishing at bass pro in clarksville. I fish trilen xl but i'm going to try some stren 100% florcarbon clear/blue. I hope i hate it. It's $22.00 for 200 yards . Anybody tried it yet.

    P-line CXX clear blue floresent. It looks like rope under blacklight. And is also a tough line.

    I used p-line cxx in clear blue and loved it but the past two years I don't use a black light. I use p-line fluorocarbon or fluoro clear and give up site for feel and my catch ratio and quality have went way up. So no more blacklights for me.

    Started using p-line clear blue flourescant this year for night and the clear for the day. I am very impressed with this line because of it's strength and how straight it stays. It is also very affordable.

    I use Trilene big game exclusively at night. I fish mostly on rock and need the abrasion resistance.

    Black lights are for those who can't feel their lures. You need to be able to fish them blind-folded and feel every rock and pick-up. I also swore off any lights at night years ago - black light, running lights, and minimize boat lights for gear changes. I got blasted on a recent post for speaking up and saying I only turn on my running lights when boats approach. This past weekend I was out Saturday night and there were plenty of pleasure boat traffic early on and at one point I turned my running lights on and left them on for a while with all of the activity. After a bit I also noticed I was not getting any hits and when the traffic died down I turned them back off and it seemed I started getting bit again. I am paranoid about lights at night...
