    Re: Looking for a good deal on fluorocarbon

    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.

    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.

    For those of you who use the Seaguar Red Label, how is the abrasion resistance? My son tells me he has tried it and thought it was lacking in that area.

    I use invisx, just remember if you want to save money, use a backer like a good braid and put on about 50-100yards of new line when needed.
