I tried it, don't like it and don't use it! I lost good fish with it. Just make sure you don't test line in a tournament unless you are fishing against me!

Mike,
The only two that I like is Berkley 100% fluorocarbon and Triple Fish. All of the rest I have had a issue with. The P-line fluoroClear is good, but it's not 100% fluorocarbon. Talk to Ryan about the Berkley 100%.
Tom.

I also like Triple Fish and I have tried Cabelas 100% and BPS 100% and found they were ok also and pretty reasonable in price in bulk spools. I used Transition for a year or so in 6 & 8 lb. test but found you had to be super careful in wetting the knots when pulling the knot tight or it would later snap right at the knot. I know all of the lines should be wetted when cinching down but the Transition seems to be a little less forgiving than the others I have tried.

Just looked at the Berkley website, a bulk spool of 17lb test is 230.00. That's insane! Maybe i'll just stick with P Line fluoroclear, and be done with it. A bulk spool of that is 1/4 the price. Triple Fish seems to be the most reasonably priced of the fluorocarbons.

I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that almost all Fluro at that time was made by one or two companies. I think Triple Fish was one of them making it for other brands. Don't know how true that was or how true it is today but it is very good line for the money. I really don't use Fluro in heavy weights like 17 since some of it can get awfully "wirey" at the test. When I get up in that neighborhood I use braid since it is much easier to handle and not as thick in diameter. I keep a couple of reels spooled with mono in 15 & 17 lb if I get into a clear water situation and I am trying to catch "bubba". Most of the time in clear water I just use a very light braid with a 8 lb test leader since I am usually fishing for smaller fish.

But I not a fish catching machine either.

I've had some issues with Vanish coiling off the spool, especially on spinning gear.

Nitronut, I am not sure what type of reel you use? On a Shimano Sustain spinning reel it recommends when you use fluorocarbon line you want the line shape to be more to the front of the spool to avoid backlash. This is done by using supplied washers and you add or subtract them to change the winding shape of the line. You can have it even, front or back of the reel spool. Maybe I should not tell you this so I get more fishing time in than you!

I have used Berkley Transition and as said above it had problems. I lost quite a few good fish on the hook set.

I've been using Berkley Vanish for the last 2 years and have had no problems.
Have also used Cabelas 100% and Seagar, both worked well but Vanish is cheaper.

I've been told not to use a palomar knot with fluorocarbon line, cause it cuts into itself, better to use the trielene knot. Will experiment with that this spring.Still have not came to a decision on brand of line.

Mike i have used the Seagar brand last year and don't have any complaints with it...I know that a lot of the guys who come into dick's who buy flurocarbon line buy either the Seagar or 100% Trilene flurocarbon my one manager swears by the Seagar line but it is pretty expensive...if you want I can buy you a small roll to tryout you just have to let me know what size..i think it cost 17.99 but i can get it for 13.50

Thanks for the offer, I'm going to try Viscious Fluorocarbon, to start the season. If that doesn't work to my liking, then I'll try another brand.
