John,

I use Seaguar CarbonPro,Seaguar GrandMax, and P-Line CFX. Never had any
issues with breakage outside of issues that were my own fault. Like not
properly wetting the line before cinching down my knot. Vanish is another
story. The stuff is absolute garbage, and if I could find the email from
Berkley that they sent me in regards to the issue, you would see a direct
quote echoing my feelings of Vanish, right from Berkley.


I follow the field manual on care and use of FC. I think you and Bill have
hit on part of my problem. I was spooled up with Vanish and the stuff is
rotten indeed. I do like the 15 lb Vanish Leader material to make spinning
harnesses however.

I have also tried Yo-Zuri FC and Yo-Zuri Hybrid and have been less than
impressed with their handling characteristics. I am going out tomorrow with
Seaguar CarbonPro to see how it handles. It feels entirely different from
the others I have tried so it may work out OK.
