Heading to BPS in the morning to get a couple of rods. Usually use Seaguar InvisiX but see that BPS has their fluorocarbon line on sale for about $13.
Is this KVD line good bad or otherwise compared to InvisiX?

The BPS floro is good stuff it has low memory and is very strong.

It's actually not bad line. Decent stuff.

Yep, good stuff. It's the only flouro I use right now. Never had enough trouble with it to want to try anything else. I'd normally say to go ahead and get one of the big spools, but at the price they've got on the small spools right now, either is a great value.

I bought a bunch from their Spring sale for $9.99 and vacuum sealed it and stored it in the closet, should last me a while. I have had good success with this line.

I haven't tried the KVD XPS line. I'm curiously waiting to see how people like it. The regular XPS that's on sale is some very good line in my opinion. I use it on everything but a Jerkbait and some small crankbaits, I like Sunline FC Sniper for that.
Comparing it to Seaguar Invisx? That's what I was throwing a lot of prior to trying the XPS. In my opinion, the XPS 17 lb line fishes better than the 15 lb Invisx. It seems smoother and softer even being 2 lbs stronger. I also know that the XPS 17 lb line is plenty tough. It withstood being drug across the underside of the boat then held up having to horse a 9 lber in the boat to keep it out of timber. The #2 hooks on the crankbait opened up a little on that fish, but the line held.

It's my favorite line for finesse fishing. The 8 lbs test is thin and strong. That's a good price too.

xps flouro is the most abrasion resistant I have ever used and I've used every major brand. Memory isn't great but way better than some stuff

I buy it when they have a deal on it and keep it in my freezer line can be kept this way indefinitely. A guide on Santee Cooper told me about doing this long time ago.

OK Thx guys for making me spend $75  Just got back back from BPS Grapevine and picked up 7 spools of XPS. 3 10# 2 14# 2 17# The rack does not reflect the sale. The rack still shows that the spools are $19.99 but when you get to the checkout counter, just tell them that you want the online price and the spools are $9.97 ea. That saved me $75 in line. Now I have to decide whether to vacumn pack em or freeze em.

love when that stuff goes on sale. Every now and then it'll be marked to 9.99 and that's when I stock up!
