Sunline used to make a Shooter Invisible (sometimes referred to as Metan) that came in a camo and a green tint. Best line I've ever used. So good that Sunline discontinued it, and just stuck with the regular plain ole Shooter, which feels and fishes different, or at least IMO.
Notice is doesn't have "Sniper" anywhere on the label.
I started fishing the "Sniper/Shooter Invisible" thinking it was the same thing, but I have no idea why Sunline puts the "Shooter" name up there if the line is no where near as good as their Shooter. It feels like FC Sniper, fishes like FC Sniper, but at least it's got that green tint. If you've fished FC Sniper before, it's pretty much the same thing, even though the price is not, perhaps because it's dubbed a true "JDM" line. I haven't received any response from Sunline when I ask why they put both "Sniper" and "Shooter" on the packaging and what happened to their original colored Shooter.
I've also fished the Daiwa J Flouro Hidden, and at least in the 6 and 8 pound test, and in the end, the line really needs to be babied. I had
repeated knot failures even though I tie a double san diego jam, and abrasion resistance was not good. I couldn't rub up against soft or hard structure without getting nicks in the line. I noticed that during a backlash, there was a minor kink in the line, and for &hits and giggles, I pulled at it, and SNAP. Again, this was the 6 pound test. I know guys that are using the 16 pound test and are loving it, but then again, 6 and 16 pound test are vastly different. Perhaps the line gets better as it gets heavier, but I see scattered reports of the knot breakage issue happening to others. The line looks great, feels great and is packaged great, but i gave away my last spools of 6 and 8.
