Bass Raptor ST - 100% Fluorocarbon Main Line
I received the line in a timely fashion. Along with a sticker. Which was snapped up by the neighborhood kid as soon as he seen it.
I asked for and received 12 pound test, came on a 109 yard spool. Which filled up a core just fine.
The line has a lot of memory coming off the spool. Wasn't as noticeable once spooled on the reel. I had no issue tying a cinch knot. Line tighten up with out any issues. The line cast nicely with no line conditioner. I I was able to cast a 5 inch senko weightless as far as necessary. The feel of the line takes some getting used too. It feels to be stiff but once i made several casts it seem to preform flawlessly. I didn't notice the bite being any different than the line i use everyday. Also i tied a shallow diving crank bait on to see how it would handle in the grass. Was impressed with the strength and durability of the line after a day of only fishing one rod changing too several other baits, Spinner bait Buzz bait and Texas rigged worm.
My bottom line I would purchase I would also like to test it more around some other cover.

So just a update on the line. I fished the line 4 trips on Squaw creek. Line was used to throw weightless baits. Sometimes with a 1/32 pinch on shaped weight. Line is extremely tough Took a lot of abuse pulling fish out of tree tops. I know most wont fish such light line in that kind of cover. With the correct rod and some common sense. You Can get the 4 pounder out of the tree without any problem, I can fish this line a few more trips before it needs to be turned around on the spool and use the other end.

Don't most FC lines come from only a few manufacturing plants... or am I thinking of something else? Does make you wonder if a lot of this lower price offshore line is all coming from same factory as the higher priced stuff?
I've been using FC Sniper for a while now, and have been happy with it. I finally picked up some Tatsu to try during a sale, but haven't spooled it yet. Sure is spendy though.
