rbaquial Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Hey Folks, I've used VANISH and other FLOUROCARBON lines, but then came across SPIDERWIRE's ULTRACAST INVISI-BRAID at BPS that is BRAID; Immediately thought, WHAT?! My 1st impressions were - "How can this stuff be invisible underwater, its not 'Clear' ...its 'White'? ... Can anyone attest to this product? I really like the idea of INVISIBLE BRAID, but the fact its not 'CLEAR' kinda makes me skeptical. PLEASE! I need peoples INPUT! Here's the link to their product: http://www.spiderwire.com/prod.php?k=74406...&u=SUIB-125 Thanks, Rob Edited January 4, 2009 by Addikted2Fishin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 It's certainly not invisible, but neither is Vanish. It's a good braid, but I prefer Power Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Invisible is a hoax, dunk any fishing line in a glass of water and you will see it *GASP* Not sure about the line, but I also like PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbaquial Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well, I know its not COMPLETELY invisible, it only SEEMS invisible because of the light refraction - but what I'm asking is, does that stuff work as great as VANISH, POWER-PRO ETC?.....

Markystang Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Probably similar to Fireline Crystal I would guess.... More translucent than clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 It's certainly not invisible, but neither is Vanish. It's a good braid, but I prefer Power Pro. Actually found the red Power Pro to be difficult to tie in lower light conditions, the line kinda 'disappeared' compared to mono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) It's only line. Put the lure infront of a hungry fish and you could be using rope and it wouldn't make much of a difference.. Visibility under the water isn't really a concern, I worry more about knot strength and the ability to get out giant birds nests :) Edited January 5, 2009 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK...I don't like it as well as PowerPro. I don't think it handles as well and seems a little more finicky for knots. I would take it over Vanish any day, but I am not a Vanish fan. I can't think of one advantage Vanish has over line costing far less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
