Question Castable Floro?

curious on everyone's experience with castable floro (pros/cons)?

which brands do you recommend?

I bought some 4# vanish for the trout rig last year and really liked the sensitive. wondering if it is too stiff as a main line > 6#?

There only one I found that's exceptional in LL applications " TORAY " , unless ur a serious angler it's expensive !
Knot strength, memory etc all top of line ! True 100 % very hard to find this cast able virtually no memory until u get in 20# class .

Next to Toray or Sunline is Gamma not bad for bucks if ur looking for a more economical version . I've got several years on this line as a back up to Toray & it's not bad at all .

I've used P-Line Fluoroclear forever with great success. It's fluro-coated mono, so it has the invisibility of the fluoro and castability of mono. And it's only like 7 or 8 bucks for a 300 yard spool.

One more vote for Pline! Use it for Salmon/ Steelhead fishing upstate NY. I use 8 or 10 lb test as a main line and manage to land Salmon from 10-30 lbs and Chrome from 5-15 lbs. I've never had a problem with Pline at all. Strong line made for the economical angler.

I use p-line #20 for saltwater leader, great stuff. I use the #6 for ice jigging. Real good stuff, I really don't buy into the invisibility of pure expensive flourocarbon. Put it in some water with an underwater camera next to same size flourocarbon coated line...

I've had an awful time with floro on a spinning reels. Tangle city. Much better results with a casting reel.

Fluoro is NOT invisible only has better light refractive qualities . i introduced the very first fluoro material to the NE market in 1984 which was Seaguar. It was an immediate hit was tuna anglers since it was used by LL long before it appeared on the sport market .
Under certain conditions it can & will give u the an edge, all so called fluoro coated mono's will not perform the same as 100% fluoro since ur comparability of these two materials takes on one or the other characteristics .
I was told by Kreha engineers the this comparability of mono / fluoro is not a match made in heaven & most cases does not prove out .
So if u feel what UR using works for u that's all u need to worry about , remember recognizing when u need fluoro & when it will not help much is probably the key to much of its success .
I personally have used it for over 25 yrs & I'll never fish without it if I deem it will help under specific conditions .
I fish nothing but 100 % fluoro from the get go & contuine to do so & as I stated in my earlier opinion" Toray " in LL applications has no equal &'I've used them all.
Last count only few companies in Japan were making most of it Kreha is probably the largest to sport market & it's Seaguar brand most recognized. Lots of claims in this product market place & hard to recognize the marketing hype from fact.
