I use Baitcaster first of all. I have used the Seaguar Red Label and I'm satisfied with its performance, but it wasnt what i thought it should be. It seems to backlash very easy in the spool. It is a strong line though, and I caught fish on it. I was using 10# on Wright and McGill Jerkbait rod with Ardent C-400 Reel. Is there a better line in the same Price range that is more castable? I bought some Vicious and will never purchase that again. I used some Vanish transition and had about the same results as the Seaguar red label. Been told that the Seaguar InvizX is the line to buy...Opinions please.  Thanks

InvisX 15 and 20b but prefer a softer line like P-Line CX premium in cold weather and water.

Only flourocarbon ill ever use is Inviz-X. Always treat it with KVD line conditioner when spooling up and also about every third trip.

I've only noticed minor performance differences between Invisx and Red Label. I've not noticed a difference in castability.
I use Invisx, 12-20# on almost all of my rods.

You may not also be thumbing it correctly. Not saying these are the problems but very likely to be. The red label is very good line and shouldn't be doing that at all. Just my opinion though.

I almost exlusively use red label and have never had issues. I have noticed, like Bill said, casting distance is a little better with invis-x. Being a broke college kid the red label is the perfect medium.

i also use berkly 100%. you problem maybe how your feeding it on your reels. you have to have it spool off the the line spool how it was spooled on or else major problems. this use to happen to me all the time. I put a pen through the hole the put it on the floor and hold it with my feet while i reel it on so i am holding tension and keeping the spool straight. i know this is dumb common sense but it works for me and it stopped the problem that i was having which sounds very simular to yours!
One more cast for Mr.Big!!!!

I'm also a fan of P-line CX Premium. Outer coating of floro on copolymer core. Casts good on baitcasting and spinning reels year-round. I always spray it with KVD line conditioner.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Im with Peter ............Play arround with your reel settings. You should be able to cast that "Red" with the Ardent you use. And use line conditioner frequently, once you get used to the quirks of flouo youll be glad you did. I use Baitcaster first of all. I have used the Seaguar Red Label and I'm satisfied with its performance, but it wasnt what i thought it should be. It seems to backlash very easy in the spool. It is a strong line though, and I caught fish on it. I was using 10# on Wright and McGill Jerkbait rod with Ardent C-400 Reel. Is there a better line in the same Price range that is more castable?
