Yes it is, but the report is old, (dated 3/21/07). Fishing line tech is like cell phones and computers, always evolving. Would be nice to see a more current evaluation.Bodofish wrote:3footvis wrote:Vanish is pretty weak. I usually bump it up a bit when using fluoros...i.e. if I need 10lb, I will use 12 lb.

That's a pretty good one, I've posted it up several times.

True but, all the brands and flavors tested are still available. I pretty much stay away from any mono's these days, the coated braids handle so much better, there really is no comparison.
A new test would be great. Any takers?
