Hmmmm....

I have nothing but good things to say about Rio FluoroFlex Plus. After trying several brands of fluoro I ranked it at the top of my list. I used the 7X almost all of last season with no issues and it is STRONG for its diameter.

Other fluoro brands that have treated me very well:
  • * Varivas - great but very hard to find

    * Orvis - I horsed and landed a pig from a wood pile with the 6X; made me a believer!

    * Seaguar - I am now using their 8X and so far it is strong and supple.
The absolute worst I ever used is Umpqua. It was so bad it became a joke among my friends and we passed it along to others unsuspecting anglers as a cruel joke.
