I like Triplefish and McCoys as well. I think I have used over the years...Vanish, Stren Fluoro, Vicious, BPS, Seaguar, Berkley Fluoro, Spiderwire, Triplefish and McCoys. Of all of these, my greatest problem was with Spiderwire.
 
"There's a reason they call it Vanish...that's what happens to your lures and fish upon hookset."

Yep, that funny and sadly it's the truth!


Vanish is absolutely the worst line I have ever tried. I also got it FREE from BASS and very glad that I didn't pay for it. I also hate Spiderwire, although I am not a huge fan of braid lines anyway. Only for that cursed "Rig", flipp'in and frogs. I do like Invisx and Trilene 100% fluro. The Red Label is ok but it's much more stiff and holds more memory, unlike me. As Mr. Whiskers said, I have fluro on everything except my topwaters and the afore mentioned lures. I have had several breaks offs on the hook set here lately. I do not place blame this on the line. When your bouncing, dragging the nose of that jig around, especially in gravel, rocks or mussel beds and you don't keep check on the line or knot, it's not the line! I'm supposed to check that and retie. The nose of that jig and knot has no protection. JMO!
 
Tried them all over the years and still prefer Berkley / Trilene 100%. Although a tad stiff, it is amazingly strong and abrasion resistant.

+1 emoThumbsup He has actually towed my boat over to a piece of structure or the bank while trying to simply break off a jig!! When I can find it I like the Red Label as well. I have not tried the Invisx because it costs twice as much. ;)
 
P-line. Tried several of the others, don't remember all the brands, settled on P-line. More and more , going to braid w/ a short floro leader, solved most of the braek off problems.
