This folds up relatively small and extends out to a good length. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxphFK7ETiDP5G4IGsNcg7vbASDp_YfDpI I would warn that while it folds down to a convenient size, it's still a bit too large to fit into my tacklebox, which I think is a pretty "normal" size. I guess a hardcore fisherman might have a hardcore box that's larger than mine, but for the typical once-a-year fisherman like me, it will have to be carried outside the box.
Really great abrasion resistance and though I've never put the Big Game line th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQ4x31pJVpClzhxzNFeILZYTW7Xbs7ZIF (any poundage) through an official test it always seems to break well above rated poundage. This line stretches a very good amount before it breaks and does well in saltwater too. Not the best line for a spinning reel in my opinion, especially if you're planning on using it for lures only due to it having a bit of memory but still a great line whether filling a spool, using as top shot or strictly for leader line. I've bought a bunch of Big game line in the past and plan on continuing to do so in the future.
I went with a $20 - 6000 yard spool of 10lb test Cabela's line about 6 years ago and I've still got plenty left. Not a single line breakage nor knot slip ever. A properly set drag and 9" leader keep even musky from pulling free. Of course, they don't make the line any more so I'll probably switch to the Bass Pro brand line in another 6 years when I run out...biggest bang for the buck. It's pretty hard to beat getting enough line for 50-60 reels for $20 (including sales tax) and re-spooling for 33 cents/reel with line that just plain works very well.

I love my seaguar. I never had an issue with abrasion even while fishing for salmon in the streams. But p line looks like a great line for bass fishing. I might have to give it a whirl
Cool tests, it's great to see P-Line tactical coming out on top i've been using it for years now after trying a lot of different lines. The abrazx sucks, i've always had issues of it getting a kink somewhere along the line and it would break on me. However, i think you could have also measured "line memory" as that is a huge factor when considering how much you want to pay for line. I've tried the bass pro line (the 17#) and the memory was so bad that a $250 reel casted and felt like a piece of garbage. The bass pro line always wanted to birds nest on me and i ended up cutting it off not long after. The thicker line definitely helps with abrasion, but memory is definitely increased because of it. P-Line did a great job balancing those factors out, i never feel like i get bad memory out of that line. I also use line conditioner on my fluorocarbon to help reduce it. Great video though, fuck abrazx.
I use the Berkley vanish currently but will definitely switch to the Bass Pro line. I'm very price sensitive and this fits in my budget real well. Thanks for the video.
Vanish is the worst on the market! It gets extremely brittle in cold water and has no abrasion resistance whatsoever! Bass pro xps and seguar sts...the orange label are the same line! And also the best I've found.....4lb holds 12 to 15 lb. Steelhead in 33 degree water
@@briangillman735 This explains why I have to retie quite often. My initial knots are great but after an hour or so they seemed to break easily. I usually retied after every 3rd or 4th fish. I was really baffled but your post clears that up. Thanks.
I tried Vanish too but have switched back to Yozuri Hybrid, it doesn't snap on cast, stretches less and doesn't break as easy when you just can't get the lure loose.
Did a tensile strength test for materials science class, how I did it was WRAPing 5-6 times around 3” pvc pipe then going up and around a scale with a 1” rod on it. Then went back down and around the pvc 5-6 times. The scale was hooked to a winch. Got very consistent results.
I still didn't finish to watch the video, I am at 4:23 just before the abrasion test, but I think that a proper abrasion comparison can be done mainly if the lines have the same diameter. The pound test to diameter ratio is mainly an indication of the quality of the material when subject to tension, although it obviously plays a minor role in abrasion as well. Another thing that can change the results is that almost always, cheap products cheat on diameter by declaring it much smaller than it actually is, whilst expensive products don't
The diameter of the line is clearly what determines it's abrasion abilities and that goes for all types of line . I prefer a smaller diameter of line because it is less affected by current flow ; large diameter fishing line will blow out of a drift much faster than small diameter line every time. Good line should always break at the knot is the best test that you want to do when comparing different brands of fishing line.
I use, almost exclusively, Seagar Invisx and never have had an issue with line breaking. I use it because it lays on the reel spools so much better than P Line or any other I have tried. By laying on the spool better I get improved casting distance and no backlashing. But t each their own.
I for one think you did a fantastic job with the tests 👏 I do beleive you could pull off an accurate tensile strength test by using your dowels and wrapping the line several times thus using no knots whatsoever. Fashioning one of the dowels to accommodate a scale could be tricky yet I think you could figure it out. Just a thought. Thanks for the informative video 👊😎
Fish with p-line when its cold. I use to use p-line but the slinky affect was more then I could handle. I use seaguar line on every worm and jig rod I got. But saying all that to say this, I’m going to get me some Bass Pro line next time I go. Great review, thanks for opening my eyes.
The most important data point in this test is the number of runs. Obviously the statistical significance increases with sample size but from this sample size of two the range of the PLINE (21.5) brings into question the process control of manufacturing and or in raw materials! Regardless I’ll be using the Bass Pro product as my livelihood doesn’t rely on fishing line performance so I’ll save the cash! Thanks for taking the time to run your test, it was another great example that the price alone doesn’t guarantee you’re getting a better product!
Definitely interesting results.. I’ve ran seaguar for years and never had a single issue with it. I just like the fact that especially the Invizx is really supple and casts well, I don’t feel pline is as supple, but was interesting to see that abrasion test!
Line lb. ratings by companies are inconsistent (unless they are a class rated line that is guaranteed to break at its stated rating. Even then, when registering your catch for the record books, they will test the line you used to verify its rating)... Instead test using the same diameters for the best comparisons. Also verify the diameter to be sure it is as stated on the box (there can be a high degree of variance from spool to spool). Glad you are doing this... there are a lot of accepted "truths" out there that need to be put to the test to see if they hold up.
Hi there, FYI, I have some info. The Bass Pro Shop line is made by Seaguar. Herter's brand ammunition is also a Bass Pro Shop/Cabela's product made by Winchester. Right now a 50 round box of 9mm Herters is $17.99 and Winchester is $20.99. Same stuff
So I recently found out that the Bass Pro Excel is the exact same as the Seaguar Red Lable. Next time you can see them both, hold them side by side and compare. They are identical!! Just so you all know.
Naah there Diameter is exactly the same. I use 15 in red label and its .013 so in the excel. You call it red label in your video but its abrazx different line and diameter. Great video though 👍
@@DishesandFishes I get that but actual red label is the same diameter as the excel. Seaguar abrazx the line you use in your video isnt the same line lol. Red label=bass pro excel. Think your confused. Seaguar Abrazx the line in your video isnt the same as seaguar red label.
I’ve been fishing fresh and saltwater for over 40 years now… the only line I use anymore is Izorline XXX copolymer. It is very low visibility, limp, thin diameter, very low memory, neutrally buoyant, incredible knot strength, strong as hell and the best part… cheap$. I get mine on Tackle Warehouse.
Great vid the only thing I would suggest in the future is to use a fish tank with distilled water to do a viability test. It will give the factor of the most clear water situation where line viability matters the most. Other then that great job
This is true.I made a simple knot (clinch knot) and i tested 3 fluorocarbon seaguar fxr 0.57mm 28e-30m),savage hard fluoro 0.55mm (30e-50m) and a cheap fluoro platil ghost 60mm(15e-200m).Seaguar brakes at 7kg,savage at 17k,platil ghost at 15kg..So my have to go fluoroleader at shore jigging tecnhique is savage..
I do a lot of night fishing here in Arizona during the summer so I use I line CXX in fluorescent as it's visible with a black light. I've been very happy with it.
*This was my first time using Braided line and I was happy with the product **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's held up well and I have no complaints. Would buy again.*
For the abrasion test results: I think the best way to rank would be by the lowest of the trials and/or least variability between the trials. It's kind of like a chain - it breaks at the strength of the weakest link. You don't know which section of the line will be the one abrading in the field. I guess this is only true if you think the variability is in the line. If the variability is in the test procedure (e.g. which part of the sandpaper was it on, how fast you rubbed, etc.), then max seems to make sense. I'm not sure how to determine where the variability is. In any event, if many trials were performed and one line had much less variability, I would suspect the line was more variable than the test procedure.
There was something I saw a while ago about how they measure the breaking strength and such in the Japanese market versus the American market. The seaguar is a Japanese line. I believe that’s why there is descrepencies in the data for the line diameter and breaking strength etc.
I was in Bass Pro a few months ago, and I heard one of the employees say that the Bass Pro brand was made for them by Seaguar, and that it was the exact same line as one of the Seaguar lines. He said the box color, but I can't remember.
Makes perfect sense to me. ALL the big stores get their "store brand" of everything, from a manufacturer.... from tomatoes in a can, chips in a bag, or line on a spool. People need to quit poopooing store brands.... listen, Walmart makes one thing and one thing only ...... $$$ MONEY$$$ !
That makes sense. There's only something like 3 or 4 manufacturers of all fluorocarbon lines and Seaguar is one of them. P-Line is not so they're getting their lines from someone else. Not sure which though.
Thank you for conducted test. I for one can vouch for PLINE, have used the older version, blue box, and found that the best Fluorocarbon ever tried . WORST Fluorocarbon line I've ever experienced was actually "Seaguar Premium"! Which performed way worse than a mono line half its lbs! STERN %100 Fluorocarbon, to my opinion, was decent as well, but PLINE hands down, all day.
Been using seaguar for years and occasionally lose a lot of bass, snapping when I set the hook re-tieing after a decent sized fish, recently changed to pline after I snapped my jig on a 4pb fish and I haven’t snapped yet, I bet my money in the beginning of your video that pline would win and not surprised. Awesome video and thank you for confirming my experience!
Would like to see if colored fluoros are still invisible. Also a good test for memory could be wrap 10 yards or so around a pen, then unwind it and show results. Best memory should hold out almost straight like a good limp braid will.
I’m confused did you use Seaguar Red Label or Abrazx? Because they are not the most expensive Seaguar lines. Thanks for the video. You should do a premium version and do Seaguar Tatsu, Sunline Shooter, Vicious Toro & Daiwa Samurai Flouro
@Cal Allen I bought a spool of 30lb Momoi floro a few years ago that I sent back to B.P. for a refund. I hooked into a Grouper that broke my leader line. A Guy next to me brought up a short Grouper with a leader hanging out of its mouth. He asked me if this was my leader - and it was!!! It did Not break at the knots, but the line itself! I switched over to Seaguar and I have had No issues so far. I have out fished everyone on the boat who was using a mono leader. Sometimes stealth is necessary over abrasion resistance. Just saying from my experiences.
I can't even see the fishing line when it's in my hands so yeah lol I use berkly vanish and never had a problem. Only line I have ever had a problem with is the trilen mono
Underwater visibility is pretty much the same as your experiment….the sunlight is penetrating the water from above, or at a top down angle, making all four lines invisible…I use P Line Tactical for Winter Steelhead fishing, bait drifting and float/jig fishing, in a river loaded with wood (trees, stumps, willows and logs) and have no complaints…
It is important to note that there is no industry standard as far as labeling line breaking strengths. Meaning, a company may label a line as 10lb test, when it will actually break at 15lb. There is another video on youtube of a Seagaur expert explaining this, noting that the only measure of comparison should be line diameter. I'd like to see another test with lines of similar diameter are compared. Also, line memory should be taken into consideration. I love P-Line for fishing around docks and heavy structure, but MAN does it have some memory. You would literally have to stretch the line out before you could fish.
I just bought a favorite balance casting reel for my lews hank parker 7'0" rod and i bought berkley vanish in 12# test simply because that was the only fluro line there. I was so excited to try the new reel out and it snowed 8 inches overnight into this morning. My weather channel said it would be a dusting and up to 1 inch accumulation in some areas!
Have used Vanish since it came out...the reg not the gold and fishing inshore salt which is all rocks all the time. Had to cut it free many more times then it ever broke off.
Punch and Judy Go Fishing. Loved the show (and the info!) but your production really wants for wine-colored velvet curtains on the tank that you can part to build tension while introducing Act I.
Seaguar makes Basspro Fluoro carbon, if your ever in the store look at the bps saltwater leader Fluoro spools it says seaguar,,, but for marketing some reason it’s not listed on the excel boxes …. But it’s great line Former employee
I think, keyword I think..... That your abrasion test is flawed. By going perpendicular to the sandpaper your cutting into it, so the more the line goes over it the less it's hitting the sandpaper and is just digging a grove into it and then sliding in the (probably smooth) groove that it created. Alternatively you could suspend the lines vertically under load (5-10 lbs) and then rub the sandpaper again at a 90 degree angle to keep the pressure the same. This would actually have it rubbing on the paper no matter what.
Just found your channel and immediately thought of Project Farm. He has made a business of comparing products. You too could go huge comparing everything from fishing rods, reels, lures, terminal tackle, and even clothing.
Seaguar is good line, even the cheap red label is good for a budget fisherman. Pline is also good. Berkley vanish is crap, but the Berkley 100% is pretty good. I've never used BPS fluoro before. Sunline sniper is what I use most. I have also been very pleased with vicious pro elite, Seaguar invizx and Sunline assassin
I've been fishing Pline on all my rods for years now for the price you can't beat the quality or the strength year after year the knots still stay strong
Line diameter difference plays a big key if they all were the same different results so the tests are inconclusive and not accurate unless the line weight and diameter are all the same
I've used trilene xl mono for so many yrs. It's all I use. Don't like fluoro. I tried suffix a few times and it was decent but still prefer my XL over everything else
This was really great actually. I love these. I've literally been buying a brand name. Honestly makes me a little upset. You got a new subscriber my friend
For control purposes… you should use a fresh sheet of sandpaper for each line. If you wear down the grit it will affect results. But I’m probably going to go P-line
Thank You ! I wish you would test the new Seaguar 101 Basix fluorocarbon, $10 for 200 YRDS, Tatical Bassin liked it on there new product review video. If you happen to do a weight test make sure you test the line horizonatly with at least 6 feet of line. A line memory test would be great too.
I've had Seagar snap on me more than once, so this makes sense to me. As for the price comparison, did all the spools have the same amount of line? I'm sure you thought of that, lil smartie. Great vid.
Would also want to know relative knot strengths using the same knots, and castability. How well/far does it cast on average with an equal weight, averaged over several casts. Knot strength is a known shortcoming with fluro, as is memory and casting.
P line flouro is good but the problem I found with it and it's a test you didn't do is that it has a lot of line memory and same with Berekly. I use the Seaguar Invizx 10lbs for bass fishing and it has never broke on me. It also is very supple and I found it cast further than most other Flouros.
I couldn't understand the thickness measurements. Are all threads the same thickness? Is the thickness value said different? Which is the best thread? can you help me?
U should have did a pull test because Berkley vanish is weaker then it says I bought vanish 3 time all bad experience 15 tangles to easy 10 snaps like 4lb test and 12lb test snaps like 6 I loved burkely but hate all there fishing line expect fire line crystal

The abrasion test left me stunned. Seaguar has been my go to. I'm shocked! But like you, I know what to do...

I was in Bass Pro a few months ago, and I heard one of the employees say that the Bass Pro brand was made for them by Seaguar, and that it was the exact same line as one of the Seaguar lines. He said the box color, but I can't remember.
Sunline used to make their flouro before
Saw this in either a Yakpak or Norm video. Guy at Bass Pro shows how the spools are the same and everything.
Makes perfect sense to me.
ALL the big stores get their "store brand" of everything, from a manufacturer.... from tomatoes in a can, chips in a bag, or line on a spool. People need to quit poopooing store brands.... listen, Walmart makes one thing and one thing only ...... $$$ MONEY$$$ !
That makes sense. There's only something like 3 or 4 manufacturers of all fluorocarbon lines and Seaguar is one of them. P-Line is not so they're getting their lines from someone else. Not sure which though.
Thank you for conducted test.
I for one can vouch for PLINE, have used the older version, blue box, and found that the best Fluorocarbon ever tried .
WORST Fluorocarbon line I've ever experienced was actually "Seaguar Premium"! Which performed way worse than a mono line half its lbs!
STERN %100 Fluorocarbon, to my opinion, was decent as well, but PLINE hands down, all day.
Awesome
Been using seaguar for years and occasionally lose a lot of bass, snapping when I set the hook re-tieing after a decent sized fish, recently changed to pline after I snapped my jig on a 4pb fish and I haven’t snapped yet, I bet my money in the beginning of your video that pline would win and not surprised. Awesome video and thank you for confirming my experience!
Thanks for watching .. I have better testing videos too
That abrazx has cost me more in lost glide baits than I want to admit. Lesson learned...the expensive way. Good video
Would like to see if colored fluoros are still invisible. Also a good test for memory could be wrap 10 yards or so around a pen, then unwind it and show results. Best memory should hold out almost straight like a good limp braid will.
Can I suggest you use a fish 🐟 in the visibility test because whether you and I can see the line underwater doesn't mean shit
I’m confused did you use Seaguar Red Label or Abrazx? Because they are not the most expensive Seaguar lines. Thanks for the video. You should do a premium version and do Seaguar Tatsu, Sunline Shooter, Vicious Toro & Daiwa Samurai Flouro
Seaguar is my go to. Never had an issue with it. Saltwater guy here.
@Cal Allen I bought a spool of 30lb Momoi floro a few years ago that I sent back to B.P. for a refund. I hooked into a Grouper that broke my leader line. A Guy next to me brought up a short Grouper with a leader hanging out of its mouth. He asked me if this was my leader - and it was!!! It did Not break at the knots, but the line itself! I switched over to Seaguar and I have had No issues so far. I have out fished everyone on the boat who was using a mono leader. Sometimes stealth is necessary over abrasion resistance. Just saying from my experiences.
Killer video! Have been hesitant because of pricing but gonna give the bass pro line a shot
Thanks for watching
Just came from tiktok. Love the video! You should’ve added a stiffness test or stretch test but all in all great vid
Thanks for the suggestions!! And for hopping over from TikTok 🙏🏼
I like that you tried to make things equal and compare each one.
I can't even see the fishing line when it's in my hands so yeah lol I use berkly vanish and never had a problem. Only line I have ever had a problem with is the trilen mono
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I'm subscribing now.
Test the Yo-Zuri flourocarbon please... It's $10 but the diameter of the 16lb is ridiculously small
I like the Yozuri Hybrid better, stretches less and tougher to break.
Underwater visibility is pretty much the same as your experiment….the sunlight is penetrating the water from above, or at a top down angle, making all four lines invisible…I use P Line Tactical for Winter Steelhead fishing, bait drifting and float/jig fishing, in a river loaded with wood (trees, stumps, willows and logs) and have no complaints…
Incredible video! I've been hoping someone would do this! Thank you!
I appreciate that. I have some other cool ones too (at least I think😂). Check them out!
@@DishesandFishes I will! I subbed I love cooking as well
The distance of castability may differ from 1 brand to the next as well. I know with braided line it can cast further then most other lines.
It is important to note that there is no industry standard as far as labeling line breaking strengths. Meaning, a company may label a line as 10lb test, when it will actually break at 15lb. There is another video on youtube of a Seagaur expert explaining this, noting that the only measure of comparison should be line diameter. I'd like to see another test with lines of similar diameter are compared. Also, line memory should be taken into consideration. I love P-Line for fishing around docks and heavy structure, but MAN does it have some memory. You would literally have to stretch the line out before you could fish.
I just bought a favorite balance casting reel for my lews hank parker 7'0" rod and i bought berkley vanish in 12# test simply because that was the only fluro line there. I was so excited to try the new reel out and it snowed 8 inches overnight into this morning. My weather channel said it would be a dusting and up to 1 inch accumulation in some areas!
Can’t make it up 😂😂😂
I used that berkly line as my leader line and will out catch everyone when the fishes are very picky.
Have used Vanish since it came out...the reg not the gold and fishing inshore salt which is all rocks all the time. Had to cut it free many more times then it ever broke off.
I tried it for 2 days and went back to Yozuri Hybrid.
Punch and Judy Go Fishing. Loved the show (and the info!) but your production really wants for wine-colored velvet curtains on the tank that you can part to build tension while introducing Act I.
Seaguar makes Basspro Fluoro carbon, if your ever in the store look at the bps saltwater leader Fluoro spools it says seaguar,,, but for marketing some reason it’s not listed on the excel boxes …. But it’s great line
Former employee
Thanks for sharing
yeah i thought so, the packaging of bass pro is very similar if not exact to seagar
I've used Stren for upteen yrs and no problems. Will continue.
Nice
Have you done a braided line test? That would be cool!
Yes! My latest video
I'd like to see you do this with glass aquarium, as I think that plastic is same color as line thus why it makes it invisible.
Check my recent video on line diameter
Damn dude you went the extra mile. I love it subscribed.
Thank you. Sequel video dropping this week
I think, keyword I think..... That your abrasion test is flawed. By going perpendicular to the sandpaper your cutting into it, so the more the line goes over it the less it's hitting the sandpaper and is just digging a grove into it and then sliding in the (probably smooth) groove that it created. Alternatively you could suspend the lines vertically under load (5-10 lbs) and then rub the sandpaper again at a 90 degree angle to keep the pressure the same. This would actually have it rubbing on the paper no matter what.
Great idea.. thank you
Just found your channel and immediately thought of Project Farm. He has made a business of comparing products. You too could go huge comparing everything from fishing rods, reels, lures, terminal tackle, and even clothing.
That’s awesome, I’ll have to check him out. Thank you
Seguar has come down on price for the red label its 12 bucks at Walmart now
Seaguar is good line, even the cheap red label is good for a budget fisherman. Pline is also good. Berkley vanish is crap, but the Berkley 100% is pretty good. I've never used BPS fluoro before. Sunline sniper is what I use most. I have also been very pleased with vicious pro elite, Seaguar invizx and Sunline assassin
Interesting that P-Line and Bass Pro are so similar. I wonder if Bass Pro brand line is made by P-Line?
Good test bud. The Basspro line looks great value
Just came across this video. Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching… my newer ones are better
P-line has always been the best line you can get their 10 lb test always seemed stronger than other brands 20 lb test
Great tests and comparisons. I now know which one I would buy and use.
Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for another video like this coming soon …
Good test. I'm buying line tomorrow and that helped a lot. Thanks.
I like the content a lot and look forward to many other reviews related to fishing gear. Thank you.
Yes. Let me know what you’d like to see tested
Very interesting and informative....I'll go with p line this season
I've been fishing Pline on all my rods for years now for the price you can't beat the quality or the strength year after year the knots still stay strong
How bout test in a lake, or pool, with a scale with line at 30 feet - 5 feet? Friction under water is much different than above water.
I did in an aquarium in a recent video ..
bass pro though! never would've guessed
Line diameter difference plays a big key if they all were the same different results so the tests are inconclusive and not accurate unless the line weight and diameter are all the same
I've used trilene xl mono for so many yrs. It's all I use. Don't like fluoro. I tried suffix a few times and it was decent but still prefer my XL over everything else
What lb test do you use?
This was really great actually. I love these. I've literally been buying a brand name. Honestly makes me a little upset. You got a new subscriber my friend
Appreciate that. Let me know if you want me to test any equipment
For control purposes… you should use a fresh sheet of sandpaper for each line. If you wear down the grit it will affect results. But I’m probably going to go P-line
Check out my recent testing videos… think they’re even better
@@DishesandFishes I will I bought the PLine
Hands down to you man this is the best test I ever see, I'm a P line guy and Varivas guy only made in Japan lines are the top
Thanks man… my newer testing videos are way better too
Need to test for memory and stretch tho, and how long the line last with it in the sun and water.
Thank You ! I wish you would test the new Seaguar 101 Basix fluorocarbon, $10 for 200 YRDS, Tatical Bassin liked it on there new product review video. If you happen to do a weight test make sure you test the line horizonatly with at least 6 feet of line. A line memory test would be great too.
Didn’t realize that was new line.. I just bought a spool of the basix at Walmart
Bravo for the video! love it!
Very good video!! Good info 👍💪🏻
Thank you
Seaguar BasiX - please test that as well. Thanks!
I’ve seen similar abrasive tests in Saltlife and mono did much better than Flouro. I’ve also found Flouro to be very inconsistent.
Salt Strong
I've had Seagar snap on me more than once, so this makes sense to me. As for the price comparison, did all the spools have the same amount of line? I'm sure you thought of that, lil smartie. Great vid.
Yes the same amount of line was accounted for.. thank you!
How well it casts, line memory, diameter, longevity.
Would also want to know relative knot strengths using the same knots, and castability. How well/far does it cast on average with an equal weight, averaged over several casts.
Knot strength is a known shortcoming with fluro, as is memory and casting.
Knot strength as in, from the flourocarbon to a hook? Using the same knot?
Good line should always break at the knot.
I would like to see a sensitivity test similar to the one David Dudley did, awesome video!!!
P line flouro is good but the problem I found with it and it's a test you didn't do is that it has a lot of line memory and same with Berekly. I use the Seaguar Invizx 10lbs for bass fishing and it has never broke on me. It also is very supple and I found it cast further than most other Flouros.
I use p-line and when I get hung up it sounds like cable breaking I love it never had it break but it’s how you take care of it too
@@joemorris5944 Right! I do take pretty good care of my lines.
I couldn't understand the thickness measurements. Are all threads the same thickness? Is the thickness value said different? Which is the best thread? can you help me?
P line won this round
U should have did a pull test because Berkley vanish is weaker then it says I bought vanish 3 time all bad experience 15 tangles to easy 10 snaps like 4lb test and 12lb test snaps like 6 I loved burkely but hate all there fishing line expect fire line crystal
I use trylene 100% floro pro but im looking at changing
Don’t know if you have tried gamma yet. It’s the best I’ve tried. It is expensive. But not sure how it compares with other lines
Nope. I def can
