Bubba14 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 As much as I prefer to support small businesses, I see that BP has this stuff on sale this week for 50% off. Anybody use this fluorocarbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 50% off probably means they can get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limey Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Last season's stock? Meaning it's been sat on a shelf for however long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetch Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I have used this product and have no complaints about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steellee Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hopefully it's better than the Berkley Vanish floro. The only thing that vanished was every fish off the end of your line. Was by far the worst line I've ever used as far as knot strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Floor ....haha... floro.....stupid auto spell...

smerchly Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Mono line life span ? I have a bunch of various brand names of mono line in my "cool" basement . Some is well over 5 years old because they are large spools of various names & strength for both reg.fishing & ice fishing . Before I spool up a reel , I tie a simple one loop knot & pull it tight until it breaks , or I tie a loop knot to a hook in my vise & test it for strength . I have found most of that old line is still as good as new . The hot weather , and sunlight degrades fishing line much quicker . I never leave my rods in the hot vehicles or in the sun when in the boat . My 30# floro carbon I use for leaders is 5 years plus , and hasn't changed at all . Basement temps & humidity seems to keep it fresh .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works good...so long as you don't knot it..hahah maybe hang Christmas ornaments with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 My brother was telling me its best to keep your line stored in the freezer. He researched this somewhere. I don't have room in my freezer so F...That. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_b Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I already use space in the freezer for eggs and salties. My wife would not be impressed if I start putting my fishing line in there. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 My freezer has all kinds of stinky stuff....fish eggs (roe) , frozen baits -minnows , smelts , fillets from pike , perch , etc. & sometimes large fish (10 lb. eye ) etc. for mounting for friends /family .. At one time I had lots of moose in there , over 100 lbs easily . Good think my wife has hunted and fished over the years . Fishing line ?? Why not ?? It is nothing compared to my freezers contents . Put it in a sealed bag & label it . ..one of the things I hear about mono is "memory" ...not sure what temperature has to do with it but I would assume the warmer the air/water temp , the less problem with the coil factor ...

GREYHAWK Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Berkley trilene fluorocarbon is just plain terrible. On the other hand, the BP fluorocarbon line, IMO, is extremely good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marktheperchman Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I like the Seaguar fluoro. Its expensive for 25 yards but I only use it for tying my perch rigs so its justifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I've been using P-Line for years .....also make my pike rigs -leaders with it - 30# florocarb.....not easy to tie a snell knot , use pliers to tighten the tab . So many to choose !! Remember the Tri-force from C.T. ? It did the job for many years . ....and same for the Andy mono ! ....still have a pink spool of 12# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_b Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I like the Seaguar as well. A spool lasts me years; basically used for tying all my leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steellee Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Leader line can't beat Drennan. Toughest floro out there. Maxima Ultra green if the waters stained or fish aren't being picky. Cheap, crazy strong and was the go to before floro. If your spooling your reel I'd again recommend Maxima Floro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
