I know you aint afraid to spend money beettle - try some Gamma. I'm not affiliated with them in any way but I think it is the best.

Seaguar is excellent. The softest available. Just finished putting the new Abrazx on two reels and will be changing all my reels to seaguar soon. Just kinda expensive to do more than couple reels at a time. I used pline pure fluoro for past few years and loved it. It's still on most of my rods. Was great for pitching but was to stiff for cranking and general all around casting. Tried their halo and it wasn't really what i expected. My cousin gave me a spool of seaguars and i won't ever look back.

I tried and still use some viscous flouro and found it to be ok cranking. I've had the same 10lb viscous flouro on one cranking rod for couple of years now and its not broken once and i plan on using it this year just to see how it will hold up for a third year on the same reel. Probably getting dry rotted this year tho so i don't really expect it to last another season. Viscous flouro is also on the three finesse spinning rods i carry on the boat.


I'm still going to try the new stren tho just cause i'm the type that has to try everything new that comes out in flouro.


I've also been wondering how the new spiderwire pure flouro performs. Anyone tried it??

</p><ul>[*]Flipping and Pitching -a stiff, no-stretch fluoro like P-Line 100%or Trilene 100%[*]Casting CBs and SBs -a soft, stretchy fluoro like Seaguar Invisx or Gamma 100% [/list]

I have recently tried out the invisex and have to say, I am extremely impressed with it.

So far I'm impressed with the BPS XPS fluorocarbon, but invisX is awsome for dropshotting

Me Too.
The knot strength seems to be considerably better than others I have tried.

 

[Buoy-Master]

I'll have to try this Invisex.

I was flipping the other day with mono then went back to the area again but this time with P-Line...Geez what a differance! You mis out on way too much with mono. I'll throw it for top water and everything else this year will be Flouro.

Jason, there is no such thing as a no stretch flouro. P line stretches as much as anything else. It just doesn't handle as good.

I am with the Beatlespinner. Flouro for a mainline has few plus over mono/copoly but lots of negatives. Choose it uses wisely.

OK, OK..."virtually" no stretch emoRolleyes Manageability and extent of stretch are proportionate in fluorocarbons.</p>

Might want to read this: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewfluorocarbon2.html For stretch test.

Braid= virtually no stretch. Flouro=slinky

Thank you for providing solid evidence for my theory, R14.
