Fluorocarbon Myths

Knots

Just wanted to share these two links!

Very helpful thanks

I'm guessing, but my bet is most of their revenue comes from Floro. What do you really expect them say??

Thnaks for the Knot/Florocarbon link.
I just started using InvizX!

Thanks for the post.

Kind of like a Seaguar commercial to push their product.
Knot segment was good.

Did a Fluoro company admit their line stretches? UNPOSSIBLE!

Oh yea not as much as mono kicker, but what kind of mono?

I'm still tying a Palomar. I've never had a problem with it. Just slobber on it and tighten it slowly.

I just bought some sunline and very happy with results. I did a lot of research on internet and this was one of the best flurocarbon. Seaguar Invizx was another good choice. I looked up each flurocarbon for different reiview and did cost comparison. I think Seaguar Tutsu may be the best on the market but it is high #. I dont think you can go wrong with super FC sniper and shooter made by sunline, same with Seaguar Invizx.

Here we go again.

I take it this has been brought up b4?

Sounds like the make it but have never actually used it. That is not independent research that was just seaguar saying that ther line is good

Yes it has http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbt...s_W#Post8653090 there are actually some good links posted that arn't just from one brand of line. I love Invizx but still some good stuff here.

I just can't find a flourocarbon that I like nearly as well as Bass Pro XPS or a knot that works as well as the double san diego jam knot. I tried Seaguar red label last year and I looked down at my line after the end of the day of fishing and there was a bad scrape into my line at least 15-20 yards deep in the spool. I don't recall it rubbing against anything that would have done that and didn't do anything unusual with the line that day. I pulled it lightly and it snapped in half. I just couldn't trust it enough to fish in places where monsters swim. Been using XPS going on 3 years now and it's been fantastic. It does have a little bit of memory but no more than any other flouro I've tried. If you stretch it out once at the beginning of the day, it'll cast fine all day long.

I used to be one of the "I always tie a palomar and have never lost a fish with the flouro/palomar combo" folks. But late last year, I lost the biggest fish I'd ever seen in this pond (probably 5-6 pounds) with a palomar knot on the aforementioned Seaguar when the line broke at the knot. So I'm going to tie double san diego jam knots from now on. To each their own.

I'm neither supporting or recommending Seagur to anyone, just came across them on their website! The knot link is useful and I so happen to use their fluorocarbon.
