BassfishingHQ conducted some interesting tests in this video. Diameter, memory, break strength, stretch, abrasion and then adjusted for price. The winner is one I have never seen, but will be buying.

Good tests, but in reality certain features may be more important to different people than an average performance. I've tried every fluorocarbon I could get my hands on over the years and I always find myself coming back to Seaguar InvisX. It's softer and easier casting than all of the others I've tried.

Cool video. I just watched the whole thing.

I’m interested in McCoy.

High ranking before price. Even better after price consideration. American made.

I had never heard of McCoy before this. Oh, and thanks for the screen shot. We can all come back to this when shopping in the future.

Me either.

I just paused the rankings and began googling the brands and availability.

The made in America is really what sold me.



I just ordered some 15 lbs test McCoy Fluoro.

Talk to me like the idiot I am….is fluro that much better? Are y’all spooling whole reels with it? I’ve heard of it for leaders but not whole spools.

I just started using Fluoro as a main line this season. Reason being: early forms were just not user friendly, and I believe the benefits are overplayed - especially the stretch claims and visibility. I always use a backing of cheap mono no matter what main line I am using.

Invizx is the best for moving baits, but it's more likely to snap on a big hookset like a Texas Rig/jig hookset due to the stretch. I spool up with Abrazx now on my bottom baits

If I am not mistaken, McCoy is the old Triple Fish Fluorocarbon
