Thanks Yall :fishing:

Berkley Vanish...I personally have never had any problems with it. Second choice would be Sufix

[size=12pt]I use Berkley mono line and Vanish Fluorocarbon leaders.[/size]

Avoid floro leader material for filling a reel; it is harder and stiffer. Limp casting line conversely is not as good as a leader because it resists abrasion less. People say look for 100% floro, but the Yozuri hybrid line has worked for me. (Also remember it sinks, so not so good for surface lures.)

Souds like Vanish is the way togo its at walmart right in a blue box i think?

Cool i'm gona be waiting for the usps tommrow hope it comes before monday going surf fishing monday with dad gona go kill some whiting

I've never had good results from 100% floro on spinning tackle myself. I tried several brands in six pound test for crappie fishing and they all were too stiff and took too much memory. I was lucky to get through one day of fishing.

I've had great success with some of the hybrid lines like Silver Thread and Suffix.

Wilson, post a review on the Vanish after you've fished it a few times. Maybe the problem is just with light lines and light lures.

The stuff sure is expensive, regular mono with minimal terminal tackle, and weights as well as smaller hooks seem to make a pretty good difference if your going to try to go UL. I was thinking real seriously getting a second ul set-up using a ul reel (about a 2500), med-light rod and using a 10# hybrid or braided line. Be an awesome set-up for when you want a little longer casts, bottom fishing for flounder ect. That's another option you might try. Braided line though has its own issues and things to consider.
