Amazon said to keep it and refunded my money. I called Seaguar and it's a fake. No need to send it to them as its a different color, texture and elasticity than InvizX. Plus all the discrepancies mentioned above. Pretty obvious. It's cheap monofilament someone wound on a spool in their garage and printed out a fake label with a color printer.
Not the first time something like this has happened on Amazon. I purchased a Shimano Metanium XG for around $300 ($100 below retail) from Amazon and received a shrink wrapped Metanium HG box. When I opened it, it was an old Shakespeare spinning reel spooled up with mono. Amazon provided a refund for that as well. Doesn't happen a lot, but counterfeit is big business.
To the guy who made the stickers comment, a word of advice. If you ever vacation to New York, don't buy a Rolex from the vendor on the corner.

For the non believers, I found out the hard way, after spooling 5 reels and going to lake, the first cast with a non weighted wacky worm tied on, the line floated on top. I cut off a piece of line and dropped in water and it never sank. Mono floats-Fluoro sinks. If anyone wants to buy the remnants of line as I am presently re-spooling my reels.....

Just got off the phone with Gerry at Seaguar. He told me they don't do level winding anymore, the stickers are different now and the spools are slightly different and the packaging is also different too.
Talked to him about the video on youtube with the fake fluorocarbon burning. He said last year there was an issue with fake line being made in China but they put a stop to it.

Hope this ends the worry about fake line.

I sure hope this is not the case...
I have used some of the "new/knock off" sold by reputable local shop and it is garbage..
unless it is fake? from reputable tackle shop? in which case still garbage..
guess I should be looking for new old stock seagaur?
and then next year? switch to Trilene?

I did talk to Tacklewarehouse.com first and they knew about some of the packaging changes and they gave me Seaguars number so I could get all the changes.
