Does anyone use Berkley Vanish flouro?

Did I say a freakin thing about your experience? Nope. I told mine and what
was the cause of some of my problems. Take it or leave it.

our
line?

I aint Al, so don't answer me like I was.
Nope. Never had a problem when mine were left on the deck all day, but they
were used and wet. Direct sun thru a window for days and sometimes a week
did though. That is what I said. Did it do it to just the Vanish line? Nope.
Did it to the Stren and Berkley Trilene too. I can duplicate that as many
times as you'd like. If they are kept out of sunlight when stored, I never
have a problem. Never tried this, but some friends keep their rods in the
trunks of their cars( yes in Texas we do drive cars also). In the summer
time it gets mighty hot in there and seems that heat is detrimental to the
line also. I know none of you have a hard time believing that. Ultra violet
rays are bad for many things, plastic, PVC, momo, flouro, etc. Surely you
don't have a problem with that. Sorry that y'all don't like Vanish. If I
have a problem with lines I dump em too. Later.

Maybe it IS the case here Bob. All the dissing the Vanish line and all.
I
have no stock in Berkley and receive exactly nada from them.What's with
the
freakin attitude????? Do you not think that sunlight is harmful to it?
It's
no secret. All the line companies warn about it. I always ignored it too
until it started happenin to me and found out what was causing it. I
figured
it wasn't rocket science. I left this newsgroup once because it seemed
if
you weren't in the "click" everything one would say is assaulted. Damn I
guess things aint changed around here!


LOL. I think you read that the worng way. If I left my rods out in the
sun
wouldn't I have the same problem with all my line? You had good luck with
whatever size of Vanish you use. That's fine, but lots of folks here
including me have had crap luck with Vanish. We said so. Do we not have
the right to state our opinion if it contradicts yours?

Perhaps if you answered all queries first we would be forwarned so as not
to
say anything that disagrees with your opinion or view point.

In the click. That is just too funny. I am so far out of the click that
I
have to take a running start to catch up and try what they say about me.
LOL.

Just posting what I have experienced. The stuff works for me. Just
for
kicks, do any of you store your rods and reels anywhere near a window
in
the
house or garage?

If that were the case don't you think we would have problems with all
our
line?

Sure, and if that was the cause of all the rest of our problems with the
Vanish don't you think we would have had problems with all the rest of out
lines too?

P.S. My rods get stored below deck or in the storage building where I keep
my boat. The only time they see daylight is when I'm fishing.

Seaguar doesn't have a problem for me. Suffix doesn't have a problem for
me. P-Line Flouroclear will delaminate after a couple days of continuous
fishing, but otherwise has no unexpected problems. P-Line pure flouro seems
to work as expected. Berkley Big Game seems to work fine except its stiffer
than Suffix. Maxima mono and flouro carbon seem to perform within spec for
their line size. Most of the braids seem hold up ok.

Just Vanish, Super Mono XX, and Iron Silk so far have gone on my not again
list with Vanish being the worst.

Heck, I had less random break offs with the cheap spools of mono I woud buy
from K-Mart when I was a kid. Now those rods got left everywhere back then,
and the line still worked ok. Sometimes without being changed except once a
year.

I really don't think UV or heat is the cause the bad experience I had with
Vanish.

I love newsgroups with an attitude and the will to back it up. Haven't had
this much fun since I suscribed to alt.food.wine.

My experience with Vanish, as I said before, is not that great. I have lost
more lures and fish on Vanish than any other line. I use braid quite a bit
and love it. I use mono and like it. I also fly cast for bass, bluegills
and crappie. I have never had a breakage on Orvis 3X tippet. Yet, my
Vanish occasionally breaks. Go figure. I am careful to store my rods/reels
out of the sun per manufacturers advice.

I will take the advice of the group and try another fluoro next season
because I do like the soft hookups it seems to give.

I've use Seaguar CarbonPro, P-Line 100% Flouro, and Maxima 100% Flouro.

The lighter Seguar 10lb or less seems to barely meet its line weight class,
but it is very consistant. No surprises. The 12lb fight like a much
heavier line. Hammer flips with the 15 a lot. I've only used the P-Line in
12lb and it was fine. I have used Maxima in 8 lb for dropshotting because
the sales rep initially gave me a spool to try, and it performed very well
for an 8lb line. In fact I just bought a couple more spools of the 8lb
Maxima for my finnesse rods.
