If you're looking for good prices...look at: http://tackletrap.com/They have specials along with various forums specials for members. Reach out to them as they've always treated me good. Looks like they're asking $129 for 1000 yds of 20lb Invisx on this website. Amazon has it at $99. Anyone had any issues with Amazon line being fake?

Sniper, Shooter, Assassin.
What it the difference between these three and which of the three do you like best? How do they compare to Invizx, red label, and Abrazx.

What does Assassin compare to?

I don't know who is making the new Strike King line for them but I spooled up 4 reels with it and so far I really like it.

Again my question that no one seems to want to answer. Why is Sniper better than Assassin or Shooter?

I've been using Invisx and red label for years, but based on SkeeterDon's and others' recommendation, I just dropped a small amount of coin on three 200yd spools of Sniper, in 8lb, 12lb, and 16lb. Always up for something new, after all.

Again my question that no one seems to want to answer. Why is Sniper better than Assassin or Shooter? No one is better then the other overall. Each has its own application. Shooter - stiffer so transmits bites better, very abrasion resistant. Downside is has a lot of memory so can backlash easily. Sniper - slightly softer then Shooter so more manageable. Almost as sensitive and casts well. Assassin - softer then the other two so less knot strength and less sensitive for bottom contact. Works well on spinning reels and moving baits. I've tried all 3 and settled on Sniper in 12, 16, and 20# depending on cover and weight I'm using.
