If you are looking to spool a spinning reel or bait caster use P-Line floro or their floro-clear line.

I use Vanish as leader line,on my fly rods for trolling and use it on my ice fishing tip ups for leader line also.

just fluoro sinks and mono floats dependant on what you fishing? normal gear that dont matter but fly fishing it does! lol

Are you stream fishing or lake fishing. Floro on a stream will be an expensive endeavor. I just use mono as you are constantly snagging and retying.

Yes. Rio Fuoroflex Plus has the smallest diameter for weight rating that I know of. Good stuff. We use it for sinking fly leaders. Spendy!

My favorite is Orvis. I started making my own leaders years ago and at that time I tried their fluorocarbon and still like it.

appreciate the replies.

for this application, I'll be using it for an ultralight spinning outfit; small streams, mostly.

It's better for leaders than a running line.


Ultra light trout your better off with your favorite 2lb mono than flouro. It just handles better coming on and off the reel.

I like Seaguar and Rio. Both have worked well from Alaska to WV to Erie etc. both have great clarity, strength to diameter, abrasion resistance, and flexibility

I only ever use it when fishing very clear streams-especially for steelhead. The cost doesn't make much difference to me because I only use it for the tippet(last section)on the fly leaders I tie. If I still used a spinning rod for trout, I'd tie an 18" or so leader to my mono.
I usually go with frog hair.

IN that case save your money and use a good quality mono. I strictly use Sufix low vis. Very strong and works great. Usually use 6lb as some of the fish I get on the stream are in that 24-29 inch range and can pull you into the trees and snags. Line is strong enough to muscles them a bit and keep them out. Good luck
