Vanish should vanish

[dave524]

Same for me. Love the Trilene XT. It is also the line spooled in 4LB test on all my panfish reels. IMHO it is the best 4 LB line for my needs.

 

Edit to add....Vanish is complete junk. I really can't believe it is still on the market.

 

4lb. XT has been my go to for steelhead leaders since the 80's, bet it is tests out at 6-7 lbs if the truth be known.

There are other alternatives. In such a situation, I would use a very thin titanium leader or why not a bottom bouncer.

Ya, but I have a worm harness system that is different from everyone else..........and it has worked for about 35 years and I'm not changing now............yesterday I boated about 15 walleyes while others did almost nothing...

I run 50lb braid and 17lb mono on the harness. Very rarely do I break off. Just check line regularily. If I get broken off, its a musky 100% of the time. Never had an issue with zebra mussels yet....I can re-tie a harness in like 30 seconds. LOL

Drennan under 10lbs... Pretty well anything but Vanish over 10lbs.
