mriversinco Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I had trouble with vanish also and went to vicious and have had great luck. I've used the various seaguar and that works well too but the vicious is much cheaper. You can easily pound up a little but for my spoons I found I didn't want to increase too much or it affected the motion of the bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerbe20 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Not sure how it compares in price to others but Blood Run is tough as nails. If you want a product that will just flat out perform and give you piece of mind I highly recommend it. If you are a believer in the benefits of fluorocarbon don't by a product just by price shopping. Choose a manufacturer with a proven track record. In three years of exclusively using Blood Run, I have yet to have a break off that was not human error or just simply unavoidable.Not sure what type of fishing you are doing, but for trolling I don't use anything less than 20lb.

sherman51 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 i recommend seaguar floro leader line for leaders. its alittle on the pricey side but i think it works. i use 20 lb test for my leaders up on erie with my lite bite slide divers. and i seem to get as many hits on it as i did with the 15 lb vanish. but i just didnt like the vanish and had way to many brake offs with the vanish. the only brakes with the seaguar was just when the drag got set to tight.sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killin' It Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I use there 100% floro by berkley in 6 and 8 pound.... works like a champ.. Vanish SUCKS!!For heavier I use Blood run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulywood Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah, I did not like Vanish. I use the Seaguar for trolling and like that. I also use it for walleye jigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherman51 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 just go with seaguar, you will not regret it.i did use 8 lb vanish for trolling our local lake. we were catching mostly white bass and a few small eyes and a few crappie, blue gills, and perch. it worked ok for that. but when i tried the 15 lb test on the central basin of erie it just plane sucked. i had more brakes than i had ever had with anything elce. i switched to seaguar 20 lb test and have been very happy.sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mriversinco Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Please go back to the other site if you're 6 posts in and saying nasty things. That's what was so nice about this site when I found it a couple of years ago...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have used a lot of different lines for steelhead fishing. I have found p-line leader and p-line main line to be the best for me. I was also very impressed with Andy leader line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulywood Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 P-Line is the name of the other one I have used and liked. For the life of me I couldn't think of it. Thanks Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
