Default Your favorite fluorocarbon?

I see a lot of new fluorocarbon lines introduced this year...has
anybody found a new one that they like? One in particular that I'm
interested in is Gamma Edge. I think in has been around since last
year but I haven't tried it yet.


I have used P-Line pure flouro, Seaguar CarbonPro, and Maxima.

I found the P-Line to be pretty darn stiff and difficult to use.

The Seaguar 12lb and 15lb are incredible. I use the 12 in moderate cover.
I use the 25 lb flipping in the trash in ultra clear water. I have been
disappointed in their 8 and 10 pound. I use them for dropshotting and other
small baits. They seem to break a little easier than their line test would
indicate.

I use Maxima 8, 10, and 12 lb for the same applications as Seaguar in those
sizes. The 8 seems to be tougher than Seaguars 8, but when I do a static
test by wrapping it around my hands and pulling until it breaks it doesn't
seem to be any stronger. Perhaps its just the way it fishes.

I never heard of Gamma Edge.

One of the pros I chat with occassionally really likes Sunline, but he is
sponsored by them, so I take that with a grain of salt.
