    Looking for a good deal on fluorocarbon

    I have used fluorocarbon and like it for some applications but the stuff is so expensive. I'm using hybrid as a compromise but would like to have a rod or two rigged with 100% fluoro. Anybody have a source of fluoro that is priced where the working man can afford it? Coupons, close-outs, promotions, whatever. Just looking around on the web has not resulted in saving more than a dollar or two.

    Thanks in advance!

    Try Triple Fish flouro, if you can find it (http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Tripl...page-TFFL.html ) . It's usually half the price of others and I liked it.

    Definately look at the seaguar "Red Label" you can now buy it in 1000yd spools from tacklewarehouse, very good line and great price! I highly recommend this line for the price concience. JMO

    Red Label would be my recommendation too. Also Berkley Vanish.

    Another vote for the Seaguar Red Label. Good line for a great price. Been using it for the past two years and love it.

    A little tip for ya "jwp" if you did'nt already realize it is flourocarbon does'nt need to be re-spooled as often as other lines.Lots of times a spool will last me most of the spring/early summer until I start night fishing.I keep line conditioner on it regular an it lasts for a long time.You get what ya pay for in cheaper line in my opinion.
    Check Mitre 10 Catalogue and Officeworks Catalogue.

    The new Vicious Elite is one of the best fluorocarbon lines I have tried. Also very reasonably priced. Especially for what you are getting. Tacklewarehouse sales it in bulk.

    I tried the Vicious brand and wasn't impressed at all. Abrasion resistance an knot strength isn't much. One thing that I can say about the Vicious line though is it is a great casting line but I'll stay with the tried and true Trilene 100% Flouro. It hold knots and is abrasion resistance and also cast well.

    I use Seaguar Invisx "jwp" . I have'nt tried the Red Label Seaguar yet but anything with Seaguar on the box is good line an very comparative in price to other flourocarbon lines.

    Berkley 100% Flouro and it's not cheap---but it's the best! Still is cheaper then some.

    Re: Looking for a good deal on fluorocarbon

    I haven't had too much trouble with the abrasion aspect comparing it to other lines. Primarily I use InvizX or AbrazX by seaguar, but I use the red label when I can find it. I Bought a spool of vicious elite in 10lb test and it too is pretty good line but they still haven't overcome the memory that line is noted for but all in all it is still good strong line and price right.

    I have said this before in fact a couple weeks ago on here - You will get much better results from your line if you tie one end to a swivel thats tied to a tree (or anything really) and spool off a good long casts worth of line and stretch it, this will make the line alot more limp and remove almost all the twist and take out alot of the memory. If you do this before fishing it will let you use flurocarbon 2 to 3x longer.

    I second this and you can get a $5 rebate if you buy it at Dicks Sporting Good.

    I also second that Vanish is crap.
