Light flourcarbons, which is preferred?

I have had good luck with the P-line in both 4 and 6 pound test while dropshotting. I see that there is a thread on P-Line already. So, I was wondering what people like.

I have tried some Berkley Products, Trilene, etc. and did not really have a problem with it. Does anyone have input on the Seaguar or Sufix Flouro's?

How about Stren or Maxima Flourcarbon's?

Any others worth a try? Need input so I can make my yearly spring order. As of now, without any input, I would stick with P-line, but always looking for the best:)

seaguar by far has been the best working for me. red label also vanish has worked really well for me also. P-line I will have to give it another try. first time I wasn't impressed... but remember really wet the line when tying knots...

I've used 6lb Vanish and it was absolute garbage, its knot strength and weakness caused by kinking is very poor. I've taken to using Seaguar or Maxima only on line below 10lbs and have had no issues as long as I moisten/lubricate the knots and snug them slowly so as to avoid friction burning the line.

I used 8lb vanish without issue's I tend to think flourocarbon lines are hit and miss.. Maxima 10lb flouro did not do well for me either.

I don't use a straight fluoro fill, but mono main/fluoro leader or braid main/fluoro leader depending on the water I'm fishing. I've found IMHO that the fluoro used in the large filler spools can be really inconsistent, and some spots just seem weaker and more prone to fraying than others even within the same spool. I use Seaguar Grandmax which is really fly tippet. Bill Herzog turned me on to it for kokanee fishing and i just started using it for pretty much all my freshwater setups. It is very strong per unit of diameter and has good abrasion resistance and is very limp. It is pricy but I think it's worth it.

I have used a variety of LB rates of Vanish and never had any issues. I do only use it for leader and have the understanding that after catching a big fish that puts up a fight the leader needs to be changed.

I use 4-6# Seaguar Invizx. It's the best out of all the ones I've tried.

I've tried Pline FC and Halo in 6#. Too stiff and memory. I then switched to Trilene 100% in both 4/6 and it was a big step up from Pline, IMO. As time went on, I did notice a little bit of memory on the 6# test, but it was very manageable. I then read about good reports about Invizx, so I decided to give that a try. Very good line. Supple for a FC. Casts great. Good knots. I use 4# for my trout/panfish combo. I use 6# for bass related usage.
