Seaguar invizx 12,15,&20lb is all I use for the last three years with no toruble. I would take the spool back and see if they will exchange it.

I put it two different rods and have checked them both for bad eyes and can't find any problems. This is the first time I've had any problem with seaguar. I can't take it back because I threw the spool away. I just wish that seaguar would give me some type of response.

Their was a report of a guy getting a different kind of line in Seaguar package. Seams like someone was swapping line spools in packages at Academy

They had a problem with the 15lb test last year...they got most of it off the shelves but sounds like they missed one spool.

That is interesting, because I have used a lot of Invisx and only had problems one time and it was with 15lb.

I have used it for almost everything for the past two years and love it. No problems that I can blame the line for. +1

I have never had any problems with Invizx except my own fault...
1) had to switch knots after first time using.
2) couple times I missed an eye or had a rough eye causing line problems.
my biggest problem even with 10 and 15 is I can't break the line when I hang up! forget about it with 25.

You probably just got a bad spool. I use invisx and love it. I would just bite the bullet and buy a new spool. YEAH, that is just what big companies want you to do ..... JUST LIKE G LOOMIS DID TO ME!!!! They should replace it ASAP if you don't have messed up guides as that is the only thing that can cause the problem. I was thinking about ordering a large spool of Seaguar AbrazX since fluorocarbon tends to break a lot easier than mono. Is AbrazX better than InvizX in brush and weeds?

I believe there was a guy a few months back that had been stalking the seaguar guys for a month over a bad spool. I don't think it got him a free spool...and ACAMS,by that logic...doesn't berkley owe us a few thousand spools since we all bought a spool of vanish at one time or another?

You can get Vanish from Walmart for $10 a spool .... Seaguar costs $25.00 a spool PLUS shipping, it should be right every spool.
I use and like Vanish, ESPECIALLY for crappie fishing.
If G Loomis sold at Walmart for $39.95 I would not have been upset if it broke for no reason!

ACAMS, I use InvisX and I didn't like the AbrazX, didn't seem as strong to me (maybe my imagination). If you are going in some nasty stuff just spool up with the 25lb InvisX, its virtually indestructible. Jerkman sorry to hear you got a bad spool, I hope Seaguar makes it right.

Hummm. Real Interesting. Defective spools of line. That's pretty much as foul as your girl cheating on you.
Call them on the phone, tell them your trip of a lifetime was ruined because of this. bla bla bla. Tell them you want a 3000 yd spool in return.
