I had a lot of trouble with Flouro until I learned that the majority of my problems were ones that I created. You really have to pay attention to the knot when you tie it. I use an improved clinch knot except on drop shot, which I use a palomar. Invisix is my line of choice as it has been the best I have used, but I only use 12lb as leader on my braid rigs. I use mono on moving bait rigs, Lo Viz Green Stren, 12lb.

What brand do yall recommend ? Ive had nothing but problems with P Line. Which P-Line? I really like Halo. It does have some curl to it but it is strong, but I only use it in 10,12 and 15# test. I use Invizx most of the time.

I have found no flouro stronger the seagaur red .It has a bit more memory .but its stronger than invisx .It takes a real man to break it in 20# when you hang up. LOL Only issues I had on the red label was breaking off on hooksets. Not sure if it was a bad batch or what but I never gave it another chance. I will throw it on moving baits if I have to. No issues there Same here

I am a long time Seaguar user... I started with Carbon Pro, then to Invizix, then onto Red Label...I am now on Tatsu and love it. Luckily I have a buddy that gets me good discounts from where he works on the Tatsu. But back in the day I really liked the Carbon Pro. But when I am on a budget or when I need good line, Red Label works just fine. When I have money, it's Tatsu.

I fish jigs and T-rig plastics with 15lb Red Label and Flip with 20lb. I have rarely broken the 15 on hooksets and never the 20. Most trouble I've had with the 20 is occasionally having to cut the line on snags when I couldn't break it. I use the palomar knot with everything, wetting it and pulling it down carefully, tightening it alternately one strand at a time.

I use Sunline Super Fluoro. It's very affordable and is great. I would hate to fish without fluoro. Its proven itself to me time after time. Agree. My issues with good Fluoro were my mistakes.

Ive tried quite a few and without a doubt Tatsu is the best, but obviously you pay for the difference in quality too.

Me along with 4 other buddies have been using Vicious Pro Elite going on 10 years. While other lines have less memory VPE is some of the strongest flouro I have run across. I change line fairly often since I fish cypress tree lakes 99% of the time and you cant beat 800 yards for 80 bucks.

I bought a spool of Sunline Sniper and it was the worst spool of fluorocarbon Ive ever used. So bad that I reached out to Sunlines cusromer service because I thought I had a bad spool. The never replied. I wound up tossing it and sticking with Invisix. Red Label is a good value, Tatsu has less memory than any flourocarbon Ive ever owned, but it costs the same as a nice rod. I only buy Tatsu during the Tackle Warehouse Christmas sale and use it for tournaments.
