100% is a quality line. It has a large diameter for the test rating, but it is on the more sensitive side. It has what I would call average knot strength and average abrasion resistance. It handles okay for a fluor on spinning, but not nearly as well as Sniper or Invizx. I used it for two years on s...

The smaller punkers work well on 50lb braid, which has the diameter of approximately 12lb mono. Most standard sized baitcasters hold plenty of line. I throw mine on a 50th Anniversary Zillion and a heavy action 7 foot rod. The 7.3 ratio is sweet for picking up line when you want to get your lure in ...

It looked like my Sol's came with a light grease in the anti-reverse bearing. So, I asked a guy at the Daiwa service dept. and he said oil is fine. Sometimes the anti-reverse lever may not engage properly. Old and sticky lube at the lever can also cause problems with spinning reels.

I caught a pair of ladies underwear in Copper Canyon at Lake Havasu (no one was in them :cry: ). I have caught several turtles and golf towels at golf course ponds. I caught a lawn chair in the marina at Lake Perris. I caught what looked like a beer can by the bait tanks in Newport Harbor only to ha...

832 seems to get fuzzy quicker than other braids. I have only used the 50, but I felt like I needed to turn it around after only about 10 hours of use. Sufix needs to work on their coatings for braid.

The Bill Dance retriever from BPS on an old baitcaster has worked well for me.

I have been throwing frogs with my Zillion 7.3 50th Anniversary for the last few years and it seems unfair. I have caught a couple of fish over 10 with it and the fish didn't even have a chance. You can get your bait back amazingly quick. I haven't fished the Steez 7.3 though.

I worked at a tackle shop while in college in the late 1980's and early 1990's. We sold a lot of both Shimano and Daiwa, and we were a Shimano certified service center. I was the go to guy for all reel tuning and repair. One reel manufacturer was, and still is, the most reliable day in and day out. ...

A 6.3 Zillion gets my call for slow rolling blades at night or for spinnerbaits in stained water that are fished all the way back to the boat. I use my Anniversary 7.3 Zillion for fast moving boiling fish and in clear water where I don't usually fish the bait all the way back to the boat. I like to ...

They are both good handling lines parly because of the level wind technology that Seaguar uses. Abrazx is slightly more sensitive, but it doesn't have the above average knot strength of InvizX. InvizX is the best handling fluoro of the dozen or so brands that I have tried, but it rated last or near ...

Everybody is giving good tips, but taking your worm off and making a few long casts is the quickest fix for me. I put tension on the line between my fingers as I reel it in. Aaron Martens and other pros do this regularly. This isn't as effective as dragging your line behind the boat, but if you do i...

My guess is Tatsu still has a stetch of around 10%. I believe InvizX is around 14% according the TT fluoro showdown. I have missed more fish than usual on both lines. Try a harder and more sensitive fluoro with a stretch in the single digits. I don't like the feel of braid for worms in deep water ei...

I am with you bassninja on trying to find the best priced and performing low stretch fluoro. I see that Seaguar Red Label is marketed as the lowest stretch Seaguar fluoro on the Seaguar website. I have tried InvisX, AbrazX, and Tatsu and I love the way they cast, but I find them all too stetchy for ...

I have only used 8lb. Tatsu. It handles almost as well as InvizX, but with a little less stetch. Tatsu is great for knots because I believe the outer core is softer than the inner. It ties up closer to a mono/copolymer, yet it still seems to do pretty well with abrasion in the DVL trees. I'm not sur...

The first two were very informative. I would like a new Showdown with the latest popular fluoros being compared. Who else would like to see it? I have tried about 10 new fluoros in the last year and I would like to see if my evaluations are similar. Pretty please TT!!!!!
