Flurocarbon

[Triton20xHarris]

I was wondering about that kind too? whats the price of it?

 

[elwestb]

PBS has it as about $40 / $45 per 600 yd spool. Invisx is $85 / $95 per 1,000 yd spool. Red Label was listed in bulk, but now it's not. I saw where Trilene 100% has a 2,000 yd. spool for $159.00, all depending upon the line size. Oil prices have gone up since last year! beetlespin put me on Delo's Tackle and we were ordering 1,000 spools of InvisX or AbrasX for about $50 / $60! Red Label even was cheaper!

the only issue with p-line was we were re-spooling some of our reels for a tx the next day,bought 4-5 refill spools from gander moutain in wisconsin,and a couple of them in no way had 250 yards on them,,didn't even fill up 1 reel,the boxes appeared to be un opened,a couple days later,we contacted j.pucci from pline,scanned the receipt and lot numbers from boxes,and they took care of it.....

TRY VICIOUS IT"S LOW IN PRICE AND GOOD LINE.

 

[beetlespin]

Viscious is the worst flouro I have ever tried. Even worse than Vanish

 

[elwestb]

... dang, Vanish is the worst line that I Ihave ever tried, period! Bassmaster sent that crap to me in the mail. Sure am glad I didn't buy it!

 

[kennethlee]

Excerpt from an articles in the ABA magazine in October 09; I found this info to be very useful and thought I would share it with everyone.
It was in ABA( American Bass Anglers) mag Sept/Oct 09' issue.

" There are approximately five manufacturers of PVDF(resins) worldwide. Kureha(japan) , Daikin ( japan) , Atonfina ( france) , Solvay ( Belgium), and 3M corp ( USA).

Approximately 10 companies are responsible for extruding the world's Flurocarbon into fishign line. Kuraray ( japan) , Kureha ( better known as Seagur - Japan), Duel ( japan) , Unplass (japan) , Sunline (japan) , Unitika ( japan), Toray (japan), Rhombic (japan), Pure Fishing (USA) and Monfile-trechink (Germany).

Interestingly wnough the math doesn't add up. With only 10 extruder, who etrudes the other 29 brands of fluorocarbon?

Well to tell you the truth, many of the so-called brands are getting their line formulas made by one of the five mfg and eventually extruded by one of ten extruders.

Those PVDF MFG aren't going to give away their top recipes to other companies. Therefore it is unlikely an offshoot brand is going to out perform the original MFG."

I have tried several different brands and use flouro on all my rods but a flipping stick and top water. It seemed every brand had positive and negative characteristics; Berkleys was nice and soft but didnt seem as durable as Vicous, which somtimes was unwielding because it spooled and curled so much. This year everything is getting BPS (which i find durable but it seems stiffer) only because its cheaper and i can buy it in larger spools..and after two years of using it, the article is appearing to be true..

 

[beetlespin]

I have tried them all. Toray is the best I ever tried but it is so expensive that I stick with Invisx which is good but not as good.

Stren Flouro super cast is on my curado as cranking line and i love it. I was told suffix super cranking line is some of the best flouro. but i'd deffinatly use stren super cast again

 

[Bassinal]

I've tried several brands and honestly had problems breaking off with most of them. BPS is seems OK and doesn't cost as much as some.

 

[speedfever22]

Berkley trans optic is good, along with bps floro. Been using seaguar Inviz-X and red label for the past 2 years and love it. Seems to last longer for me.

 

[frazier2209]

There's a reason they call it Vanish...that's what happens to your lures and fish upon hookset!

 

[churly]

Invisix for me!

 

[zach88]

I use Pline 100% and have never had any problems. Its a little expensive though

 

[Oregon]

Well I'm gunna be different and tell ya that i have used the Silver thread fluro for a number of years and truly enjoy it and am very pleased with results. Harder to find but good stuff.

Gamma all the way for me. Been using it for several years with no issues.

 

[dobass]

I have used Seaguar and Gamma without any issues.

I think vanish is absolutely the worst line. Set the hook and POOF... everything vanishes

 

[Pointer 78]

Been using Seaguar Red Label for 3 years now. About half the price of other fluorocarbon brands. The best value in fishing line. Never had a problem with it.
