Default Your favorite fluorocarbon?

Rich, do you think either the Seaguar or Gamma handles well enough for the
10# to be used on a Daiwa size 2500 spinning reel?

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.


My favorite is InvizX. (Seaguar) I use the 4 & 6 for drop shot, grub and
light jig & worm fishing, and the 8 for jerkbaits, the 10 for normal
worm/creature bait fishing, and for striper fishing in the river.

I would probably like the Gamma better, but the price difference outweighs
the edge it seems to have in abrasion resistance. Neither is cheap, but
200 yds for 18 bucks is way better than 120 for 22 bucks. I put about 50
yards per fill on a spinning reel. That's 5 bucks a shot with the InvizX,
as opposed to 11 with the gamma.

Triple fish and Maxima are both OK, but seem a little "springier" on the
reel, and have a bit less abrasion resistance. The seaguar Carbon Pro
seemed way stiffer and springier than the same mfg's InvizX. I tried the
Cabela's house brand, reputed to be made by Seaguar, and had one spool (8
lb) that was fantastic, and one (6 lb) that broke at the slightest
provocation.
