Welp, looks like I'm going to be heading back to the local Wal-Mart...I've never really browsed their fishing section much - I'm too addicted to academy, but fluorocarbon at that price. Very nice!

Great deal on the FireLine and the lures, but from my experience that price for Vanish is about what it is worth.

Well done, that's a great deal for that stuff!
Vanish has improved these days. I usually wrap the line twice through the eye hole of whatever hook or lure I'm tying it to and that helps on knot strength which is probably the biggest weakness of Vanish. Cut off any portion that gets stretched improves the performance. I've been using 16lb Vanish as a leader lately and pulled some big cats on it.

Nice Haul, I sure hope you left some for the next guy.

Nice. I saw some line for $4 the other day I was there. Wonder if it's gone down some more. Did get an Abu Garcia rod for $8.42 though.

I Still don't think I would even give a $1 for Vanish. Worst Fluoro out there IMO everything else though was a great buy! I just don't trust Vanish. There is a reason they call it Vanish. Becuase everytime you set the hook, BOOM, your fish Vanishes lol
