Looking for a good flouro
Looking for a good flouro
I want to try a spool of flouro on my Cumara/Curado for t-rigs. Mostly just pitching in ponds. I want low-stretch more than manageability, but having both would be an added benefit. Looking for a 15 or 16 pound test.
Looking at:
Vicious
AbrazX
P-line Ultimate
Sunline Super, or other Sunlines
Yo-Zuri H20

Re: Looking for a good flouro
Out of those I'd go for the new vicious flour followed by seaguar.
Pline would be last it was just junk when I used it two years ago never even thought about trying it again.

Sweet, I just got a free spool of the 15# green package flouro, I'll try that out for a while then try their new line.falcon wrote:Out of those I'd go for the new vicious flour followed by seaguar.

The Sunline Super is a decent FC.

I would go with the Seagur Abrazix or the Sunline Super.

x3 - Toray Super Hard Upgrade. Good stuff.
Re: Looking for a good flouro
I don't like it other than as a leader (inshore fishing) i use 3-6 feet depending on water clarity. My favorites in order are Seaguar Tatsu, PLine Fluorocarbon and Seagaur InvizX all in 20#.
Rods & Reels Excite me!
Re: Looking for a good flouro
I've fished the new Vicious Pro Elite line and it is really, really good stuff, and I HATE fluorocarbon. A friend of mine who is an FC junkie gave it to me to try and I was quite impressed. He usually fishes Seaguar Tatsu line and told me that he likes the new Vicious line better than the Tatsu. That is saying a whole lot. I'd give the Vicious a shot.
Re: Looking for a good flouro
I would go with the Sunline.
I have tried the Vicious green box and it was crap.
I haven't tried the new red box one but I'll wait just a little longer

Toray Super Hard Upgrade or Toray Solaroam Bass Hi-Class.
Re: Looking for a good flouro
For a slightly cheaper option you may look into Bass Pro XPS Fluoro. I've used it for jig fishing over the past few years. There is very little stretch, line is stiff so it's easy to detect bites when there is some slack but the manageability isn't great.
Take a look at the TT fluorocarbon shootout. IIRC the BPS fluoro did well considering the price difference. I generally use 14lb but had better line management with 12lb and under.

Re: Looking for a good flouro
---everytime i go out to fish i end up snapping my line on the cast or getting snagged and it breaking (way to easy i think) i used up the entire reel in one day and spent most of my time re-tying my bait and hook, luckily didn't lose to much bait, could still pull it in. I NEED HELP --any sugguestions? at first i thought i wasn't using big enough line for what i was throwing but it snaped on small things too...I need a better brand or something, im not sure
Peace.Love.Fishing

Re: Looking for a good flouro
Out of those listed, I'd go with Abrasx, P-line, Sunline Super, Vicious, Yo-Zuri. I have nothing negative to say about any of those I have fished them all. The only one I had problems with was vicious when it first came out. They fixed it thought and I have fished it since with no problems.Fat-G wrote:I want to try a spool of flouro on my Cumara/Curado for t-rigs. Mostly just pitching in ponds.

If you want the best, Tatsu. There is nothing I've fished that touches it. If they'd come out with in a .019" diameter, it'd be all I used. I used one spool of the .016" diameter last year for almost 7 months before changing it. I use backing and can spool 3 reels with one spool of the .016". I use the .013" for cranking. It is expensive but when compared to toray, shooter or other premium lines, not so bad when you look at the yardage you are getting iwth tatsu. I think shooter is up to $40 for 100 yds or something like that?
