Red Label is strong and highly abrasion resistant with good knot and tensile strength. 100% fluorocarbon; virtually invisible; made in Japan with cutting-edge innovation; fill your spool with this main line fluorocarbon.

Benefits Of Fluoro Low Visibility - One of fluorocarbon's biggest benefits is it's nearly invisible underwater. This is because it doesn't appreciably distort light passing through the line (it has nearly the same refractive index as water), and it's a huge factor in clear water and when targeting skittish fish.

Overview

Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon is one of the softest and most manageable fluorocarbon lines you'll find on the market. There's no other way to put it. It resists backlashes exceptionally well when used on casting reels and behaves better than most monofilament lines when used on spinning reels.

The machines are called maple graders because the spools spin like dancers around a maypole. As they spin they weave the strands into a tight braid. Producing a tight braid is slow.

It all depends on what type of fishing you're doing and in what environment. A fluorocarbon leader is your best bet if you're fishing in clear water or targeting finicky fish. Still, a mono leader works fine if you're just out recreationally fishing.

Monofilament: a single strand of nylon and often referred to simply as “mono;” Fluorocarbon: A single strand of polyvinylidene fluoride. Microfilament: Fused or braided strands of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene and commonly referred to as ”braid” or “braided” line.

Smaller fish like river trout, walleye, perch, bluegill, pompano, and smallmouth bass can use the thinnest and lightest braided line. A 10 lb test line will work for them. Slightly larger crappie, bonefish, and flounder need around a 15-20 lb braid.

Most anglers find that using a main line of 15lb breaking strain (with a shockleader) is sufficient when fishing over clean ground, but anglers fishing rocky or snaggy marks may use a main line which is up to 35lbs breaking strain.

The SpiderWire Stealth Blue Camo-Braid and Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon take the top spots for their maximum strength. While the 20-lb SpiderWire line we tested takes the cake for the toughest fishing line, proving to be nearly impossible to break, the Berkley Trilene Big Game also ranks high in this category.

Monofilament, or mono, is not only the best saltwater fishing line for most applications, it's also the most popular. Mono is thin, strong and subtle, water resistant and has good knot strength.

Fishing line types are mostly available in three varieties - monofilament, braided and fluorocarbon. Fishing line is usually made of nylon or PET/PETE, with monofilament being the most popular.

What is Fishing Line? Fishing line is long threaded material (usually nylon, silk or wire,) used with a fishing rod to catch and reel in fish. It is what is cast from the rod, flies through the air, and ultimately lands down into the depths of the water.

• Best Overall: Seaguar Tatsu.
• Best on a Budget: Trilene Fluorocarbon Professional Grade.
• Best for Bass Fishing: Seaguar AbrazX.
• Best for Saltwater Fishing: Seaguar InvizX.

Impermeability – Fluorocarbon does not saturate with water, which somewhat protects the integrity of the knot and maintains its abrasion resistance even after long periods of fishing. UV resistance – The line does not suffer from exposure to sunlight and elements. It is also highly resistant to changing temperature.

It all depends on what type of fishing you're doing and in what environment. A fluorocarbon leader is your best bet if you're fishing in clear water or targeting finicky fish. Still, a mono leader works fine if you're just out recreationally fishing.
