Heard good and bad things about both. Has anyone used either one? Reviews I have read say TransOptic has line memory pretty bad. InvizX is $24 a roll and TransOptic is $10 a roll.. Any help would be apprecieated! Thanks

Spend the money it's worth it. Also order online and it is cheaper than that!

Also depends on your style of fishing as well. I like jigs a lot so like the no stretch for hook sets.

Heavy on Jig fishing and C/Rig 90% of the time. Just trying to decide before the next trip gets here! Avid fan of Berkley Big Game 20# recommended by Joe Axton back around 1995 or so. Just can't decide whether to try the new stuff or not. GOAL = Want more fish IN THE BOAT :-)

Trans optic is mono and has more meomory than any line I've ever used. I bought it when it first came out fished once then took it all off n trashed it. Invizx is in another league compared to that garbage.

Wish me luck. I spooled up two of my Revo SX's (Veritas Rods) with my favorite 20# line tonight. Partner will be using Big Game so I'll let you know who catches the most fish... and he's just as good as I am cus I was His Teacher! It's nice having someone who is a "Natural" as your son too!

Don't know about anyone else, but it doesn't get much better than spending the day on the water with your son.Unless of course you are out fishing him, lol, don't you get any better than that
I've been a trucker for yrs so haven't been able to fish as much as i'd like , but i'm trying to learn. My son goes with me , so that is cool,he is trying to learn also, we both want to become better fisherman.

Turns out the InvisX didn't make a difference to the Bass. The Big Game Moss Green caught more fish Saturday and "The Biggest Fish" too (both using the same Rod/Reel setup and lure).

Big game is hard to beat as far as 20# mono goes! I don't use flouro. I use Power Pro Super 8 hi vis yellow 50# braid for jigs and TXRig with 20# mono leader. Haven't had my feelings hurt with break offs as long as my uni/uni or swivel ties are changed after every few fish or so.
