Vanish has the worst reputation of all fluorocarbon lines on the market.

15 lb big game is my go to most used line. Most of my reels have it spooled. Braid. Daiwa j braid 8. Frog and a rig it’s my choice. Fluorocarbon Seaguar 15 on my senko rod. Seaguar flipping fluorocarbon 20 lb on my flipping rod. As a leader. 40 lb j braid as my main line. It been this way several years and it works great for me.

Never done me wrong, and does everything I need it to do. I don't see or have any reasons to switch. I'll stick with it till I do. Thanks for the input though.

This is the CoPolymer line I use for anything that I am not using braid for in the 15lb. Really tough line with little to no memory even in cold weather.

I use 10 and 12 lb BG still.. If I had to choose one obviously it would be 12.

Hey bud, I took your advice on some CXX and spooled up some 12lb for my worm rod as you had said you can go a little lighter with CXX. You were exactly dead on accurate in your assessment. Starts out like twisted bailing wire the first few casts but then begins to loosen up and get more limp as you cast more. At least in the heat it does. Interesting line.

15lb and above, I’d use CXX for leader material. (I use braid to leader on everything except frog/heavy pitching (then just straight braid)

So, even my 8, 10, and 12lb CXX is leader only; but I think 12lb and under is manageable enough to use without a braid mainline.

Stretching it and spraying on line conditioner would certainly help.

The more abrasion resistant a non braided line has, the more memory it will have.

Thats why I like braid as mainline (no memory)

Vicious fluorocarbon. You can but that stuff at Academy for $19.99 for 500yds. I took some to Mexico and was nervous about it but it held up very well and more much more castable than I thought it was going to be.

I only use tatsu 15 mostly, not sure why a pond would be different than a boat, but I guess maybe because you could run further with mono to get a good hook set where Ill end up running off my boat trying to take up all the stretch.

40 lb braid

I'm with these guys.

Another vote for Berkley Big Game

Just stating the facts. Thats all.

+1 for P Line CXX. I use everything from 8# to 20#. This is for casting reels or leaders on spinning tackle. Too stiff for spinning reel main line but I've gone almost 100% braid with leader for them anyway.

Seagaur invix for floro and trilene for mono, power pro for braid
