Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon Fishing Line/Leader Material

Great Fluorocarbon Line at a Budget-Friendly Price!I've been using the Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon Line for a few seasons now, and for the price, it's hard to beat. If you're looking for a dependable fluorocarbon that won't break the bank, this is a great option.✅ Invisible Underwater – True to its name, this line really does “vanish” in the water. It's perfect for clear water conditions when fish are being picky. I've definitely noticed more strikes compared to using mono.✅ Good Abrasion Resistance – I've dragged this line across rocks, wood, and thick vegetation, and it holds up better than expected. It's not indestructible, but it performs well for the cost.✅ Works Well as Leader or Main Line – I mainly use it as leader material for bass and trout fishing, and it handles knots and connections well. It’s stiff enough to hold shape but not so rigid that it’s hard to work with.❗ A Little Stiff with Some Memory – Like many fluorocarbon lines, it does have some memory, especially in the heavier pound tests. If you're using it as a mainline, you might want to condition it or let it sit on your reel a bit to reduce that coil effect.💲 Great Value – You’re not paying top-dollar here, but you’re still getting solid performance. It’s a great way to try out fluoro if you’re switching from mono or braid.Bottom Line:Whether you're a weekend angler or out every chance you get, Berkley Vanish gives you great performance at a fraction of the price of some premium fluoro lines. Not perfect, but definitely reliable and effective. I keep a few spools in my tackle bag at all times.

I bought this line for a new reel , I’ll be using for larger Bass and stripers. At first I was getting frustrated because it had so much memory. So what is I did was soak it in a bucket of warm water and that solved the memory problem. I had no problem with a spool knot. It actually held better than I expected it to. Nice and tight

Works perfect for my saltwater surf fishing needs.! Good strength very durable great value. Highly recommend this product.!

This Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon line has some pros, but it's best suited for short-term use. I've found that it works well for trout and bass fishing, especially when using lighter gear. The line is nearly invisible underwater, which is a huge advantage when targeting fish in clear waters, and it handles nicely on the reel when fresh.However, durability is a significant drawback. After one or two fishing trips, the quality starts to drop noticeably. You’ll find yourself stripping the line off and re-spooling sooner than expected. Only high-quality knots hold well with this line; otherwise, it tends to snap under pressure. If you aren’t confident in tying strong knots, this may not be the best option for you.Overall, it’s a decent line if you catch it on sale, but don’t expect it to last beyond a few outings. Good for specific trips, but there are more durable options out there for regular use.

I don’t use fluorocarbon as my main line. I only use it as a leader. I used 4 lb vanish as a leader for 2 lb Trout Magnet SOS line and 6 lb KastKing Flurokote. Of least the 4 lb version is great. It’s strong and works very well with standard uni knots and loop knots. I haven’t had a single problem with the knots or the line and have caught between 10 and 15 blue gill.There are some negative reviews out there with regard to vanish, but I have pulled lots of branches out of the pond without incident and caught many more fish than usual. This stuff and trout magnet SOS are great finds. I don’t know how it behaves as a main line, but I can testify to the strength and abrasion resistance of the vanish and I would not be a fan of any pure fluorocarbon as a main line.

good stuff. strong

Vanishes nicely in water.Good quality line, has little memory, looks good, casts nice, good fishing line, Abrasion resistant.

I like using this line for my lead. The visibility in the water is transluencent. Very good line quality. If you are using this for you main line, set it in hot water for at least 20 minutes before spooling it to reset the memory to your spool when it cools. It will save you a lot of time with backlashing. Good value for your money.
