I tried BPS 15 and 17. They were horrible to me. I use seaguar and pline 100%. Both are very good IMO.

I've been using Sniper FC for about 2 months and really like it. I haven't had any problems to date. Damn good line.

I have been using the P-Line Halo. I have not had any problems whatsoever. I was using 17lb Halo for my leader on my carolina rig. Had to switch to 15lb because it was stronger than the 20lb P-line mono I had in front.

I hate fluro for the reasons listed. Ya'lls confidence in these other brands have me wanting to try it again. They are pricey so how often do you have to re-spool. I am a weekend fisherman that maybe goes once a week and 2-3 times a week in summer. Thanks in advance.

Make sure to use backing on your reel and only put ~75-100yds on at a time, you'll get 2-3 spools out of it.

I have switched almost all of my reels to the Stren Flurocast. I really like it....so far. I just can't afford the InvisX anymore. Used BPS for a while but noticed a quality issues. Something changed. Same with the Trilene 100%, I loved it at first then I replaced all of my line and every weight of line had breaking issues on hooksets.
