Berkley Vanish
Is it my imagination, or does Vanish fishing line greatly reduce your
casting distance? Even with a Chronarch baitcaster. Rich Davis

. .. Is it my imagination, or does Vanish fishing line greatly reduce your casting distance? Even with a Chronarch baitcaster. Rich Davis Berkley Vanish is pretty scary stuff. It seems to break way to easy, and not cast very well for me. Of course certain people will blame me for taking it out in the sun to actually fish with it. LOL. I have had poor results with Berkley Vanish and Berkley Iron Silk. Iron Silk does cast well, but breaks for me for no apparent reason. Vanish breaks even easier and does not cast well. Berkley Big Game is a decent old style monofilament if you want to stay with Berkley, and most of the old Trilene line now owned by Berkely still performs as labeled. XL is limp and casts well, XT is tough, but a little stiffer. Both seem to meet their line test ratings as labeled. I have caught a lot of fish with them in the past. For Flourocarbon I like Seguar in 12lb and larger. For smaller I like the Maxima. Have not used the larger sizes of Maxima. For mono I use almost exclusively Suffix Seige. For braid I like Stren Super Braid, but I have had a few suprises with it in 20 & 30 lb. I am considering going back to Power Pro for the smaller sizes. Best of luck with whatever you choose. As you might guess from my opening comment some folks will have different levels of success with the same lines. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

I read the first sentence of the response with that quizzical look that you might get from your dog. I wondered quietly if Mr. Z had lost the remainder of his faculties. The second sentence was priceless. My best giggle of the day in a day that needed it.

Get a grip, Harry! Real men don't giggle.
Guffaw, laugh, chuckle, hoot, snort, bray, snicker, or even chortle... but refrain from giggling! (Rich's comment was pretty funny, though.)

Vanish for my Jig & Pigs & have had no trouble with the line breaking. ( Had the same line on all year) And since this presentation does not require long casts that isn't an issue either.

If I never expose it to sunlight I am unlikely to have it break on me. Does starlight or moonlight affect it the same way?
