please help with flourocarbon lines

[bernie]

i am in the process of getting rid of all my vanish and need some advice on a good florocarbon .... Thanks Bernie

i've used three of them last year for jigging and rigging. i don't think they are ready yet. vanish is as good as any,unless you got some of the rotten stuf that was free with xl spools.

I've been using Cabela's No-Vis Fluorocarbon for jigging and rigging for the past three years,no other fluorocarbons can compare including Vanish. Give it a try ,its a lttle spendy but does have a 60 day full refund if your not satisfied.

You're making the right move in trashing the Vanish line.
It's not a true flourocarbon to begin with and Berkely made a sad attempt to break into the market with it.
I've used quite a few different brands and it seems that the European and Japanese made lines...as usual, are far ahead of anything we have at the local retailers.
I've found the Triple Fish and Sufix flourocarbon lines to be top notch along wth Seaguar but Seaguar is way over priced due do it being the only guy on the block for the past few years.
I believe that Seagaur comes out of the same manufacturing plant in Japan where another major manufacturer produces fishing line.
Triple Fish is manufactured in Germany by Mylon Slonek & Co., probably the most technologically advanced fishing line company in the world.
Quality, quantiy and prices are much better with Triple Fish and Sufix.

Good choice with Cabelas.
Seagaur makes all of their Flourocarbon lines and you can buy it a lttle cheaper than Seagaur.
Seagaur as a new "Gold" series flourocarbon on the maket and I'm sure Cabelas will offer it under their name if it's as good as they say.
Time will tell.

Like you I started out with Vanish (wouldn't hold a knot), tried BPS (hated it), went to Seaguar (pretty good) but have ended up with Yamamoto's Sugoi Clear. It is a third generation Flouro and it is just excellent. Can't use it on spinning gear but for everything else in any # test it is outstanding. JMHO

I use P-Line. It is the best of both worlds. Copolymer coated with Flurocarbon. You get some stretch (15%) and vanish properties. I have yet to have a loss due to the same line in two seasons and had an increase of hookups. Now that is a tested fact.

I read a newspaper article today that fluorocarbon lines don't degrade and they'll endure many, many decades. You may wish to consider this in your choice of lines or how you dispose of them.

Ug, dosn't degrade for centurys huh??

Obviously they didnt use Vanish for that test...

Yeah, mans influence on nature dosn't ever go away either..oh well..Wheres my WD-40??? I need some more attractant on my jig...;) IF YOUR PICKING YOUR CRAP UP AND TAKING IT WITH YOU IT DOSN'T MATTER HOW LONG THE STUFF "STICKS AROUND".

Seaguar is the only floro product I'll use when it counts. Yes its a little stiff, yes its a B**** to tie a knot, but when the chips are down, it has never failed me.

If I wasn't here, I'd be fishn.

A better thing to say would be: If you're one of those losers who lets out their old line in the lake, then don't buy fluorocarbon line, or any line for that matter.

I guess although most of us take our old line to the trash, there's always a certain amount that stays in the lake anyways, ie. snags so maybe it should be a consideration for everybody.
