Always used Bonny Royal (sp) Brown on Champlaine the waters a little stained, seemed to catch more fish. Used clear on winni, but hard to find it now. So recently been sticking with yo-zuri, vanish. Cabelas florocarbon I don't like, brittle. I stick with 8lb, not that I want to but can't get the fingers to work on lesser lbs, plus a can't see anything smaller. see all on Sun. w-fat
I have started using Pline fluoclear because I find it has qualities like mono (limp and less memory than some of the fluorocarbons, But after reading BeCareful Re: Yo-zuri,hybrid I am now wondering if its more a visible?
I will show you my invisibility tube. It shows, berkley, P-line and Seaguar. You can see for yourself. If any line is 100% fluo, it will be invisible under water, the main differences are knot strength, abraision resistance, limpness, impact strength...
I have been using Silver Thread Excalliber for the past three years as my running line, and I have been really happy with it, using 4 lb test for winni. I get the bigger rolls (8 lbs?) and it goes a long way.
I tried Ande before that, it just didn't hold up well.
You can't go wrong with the Berkley XT either, but the silver thread is thinner and just as durable.
Avoid the Vanish as a running line, way too expensive and it just doesn't hold up well as a main/running line. I agree with YoAdrien, it make an ok leader, and that is what I use it for.
