InvisX is what I use for most of my fishing. For spinning use braid with a fluoro leader, just replace out the leader periodically and the main line is for a really long time.

Just get you some seaguar invisx, you wont look back.... Yep. I was amazed how much my catch rate improved when fishing Texas-rigged baits with Invizx versus mono. The sensitivity is amazing.

Yes Slade, how do I maintain my line ? I am not sure what Slade meant, but I use KVD line conditioner on my fluorocarbon-spooled reels and it seems to keep the line soft and free of memory.

I dont care for flouro. It can be difficult to manage and I have no confidence in knots with flouro, especially with heavier baits. Flouro has improved over the years but you still hear about the same flaws with it. May be hype and may not be but I have caught just as many on good mono and coplymer. I think it just goes back to the confidence thing. Lot of people use it and like it so it may just come down to a personal preference. I agree with you totally. I am really amazed that so many people like the stuff. Maybe it's just the power of marketing.
