98Fahrenheit Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I use Toray Gaia X Phantom Blue Size #1.2 (18lb). Made in Japan.
xrap Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Just got some seaguar fluro fishing line 8lbs at bass proshops. Very satisfied so far.
huntervasili Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Seaguar, its the main tippet I use when fly fishing...
OhioFisherman Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I don`t use it often, but berkley vanish, no problems with it.
canadian_copper Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I USE SEAGUAR AS WELL!!! BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING A NEW LINE CALLED VICIOUS AND ITS WORKING VERY WELL!!
jeffw Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I use seaguar in 4,6 for freshwater and 20 for light saltwater. Cheers Jeff
dheitzner Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 i use seagar or raven on the tribs, approx.3-5lb, seagar 8lb as a leader for eyes and smallies in the summer, and 65lbseagar as material for pike/muskie leaders.
mdej Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Tired the Seaguar main line last year on a spinning rig, didn't like it but I don't think it was the manufacturer, I think it was the floro in general. Now only use floro leaders, Seaguar leader line & Maxima leader line.... Both seem to perform equally well. I seem to migrate to the Seaguar cause its like 1$ - 2$ cheaper per 27yard spool.
setomonkey Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I use Seaguar for my fluoro leaders. I wouldn't recommend spooling fluoro as your main line, I did that once and found the line was stiff and had a lot of memory coming off the spinning reel.

Bigfish Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Segar, very smooth, and easy to cast. Expensive but I feel its worth it.
mattyk Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I also use seaguar fluro but im not happy with it. ITs a little stiff. I think i my try the pline floro coated mono. I have heard good things about it.
xrap Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 What do you guys mean by stiff? The line works well for me and I haven't expierenced any tangles yet. Even when I leave the spool open the line doesn't jump off. Although when I cast I do find it tough to toss because the line is so thin it sometimes just jumps out of my hand.
lew Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I use 130 pound Seaguar leaders on my musky rods. About 18 - 24" for casting rods and 48" on the trolling rods Great stuff !!
JFR Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 It is not necessary to spool your entire reel with fluorocarbon line. Only need fluoro as a leader. I currently use 130# Seaguar for musky leaders. When I'm fly fishing or using other types of fishing gear, I use a quality mono, like Ande, Maxima, and a fluoro leader. Depending on the conditions a leader of 18-24" is sufficient for most fishing applications. # test of 6 to 12 is more than adequate. John
MJL Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 For the last 5-6 years I've been using Siglon and Raven Fluorocarbons in 4-10lb for fly/float fishing. Great stuff. Used to use Seaguar a while back but the shops near my house stopped carrying it. Still using Titanium for pike fishing...Maybe one day I'll get out of the stone age and try FC in 80+lb for pike leaders.
bpcbear2000 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 seaguar fluro for a 6ft leader. I don't like the way fluro cast when its spooled on the whole reel
moemoe Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 I use the p line 100% fluoro on my main line, along with a spool of power pro for the same reel....been using the p line for three years now and love it...little stiff but hey its fluoro
kemper Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 Ive been switching through them, started with vanish and the first few batches were awesome, then it went to hell in a handbasket. Tried lots of them but now I just tied up 20 leaders of 4 and 6 pound vanish so called "improved". Well see how it works when the tribs calm down.
xrap Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 What do you guys mean when you say the line is stiff?
mdej Posted April 5, 2007 Report Posted April 5, 2007 What do you guys mean when you say the line is stiff? When I say still I think more of line memory. Meaning the loops don't straighten as well coming off the spool.
