Breaking Down The Entire Sunline Fluorocarbon Line Up! 16 Lines To Choose?!

[@skidemn]

Sunline should feature this video on their website, because no one has ever done a better breakdown of their specific products then you did right here, period!

[@Shawn_Lai]

You really have the best videos that break lines, lures, and everything bass fishing down. Like you are The Bass-O-Pedia.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for watching Shawn! 🙏

[@aarongreenlee7867]

I definitely understand floro better from a construction standpoint after this video. I didnt realize it was the coating type and quality that really set it apart from one another. Good stuff man!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@izeahbennett2281]

As an avid sunline user, you did an awesome awesome job breaking this down. You guys are doing something great over at Hook Up Tackle!

[@privatedata665]

Hell of a commentator and full of great knowledge . I have picked up several worth tips , thanks

[@wilmerpruitt6324]

I found this video by doing a search for Sunline uses. Perfect, exactly what I needed/wanted.

[@rockysmithart2455]

This was by far the best video I've ever watched!! I've been racking my brain on these lines and I finally understand it!! I appreciate y'all so much for making this video!!

[@ronknight6400]

A complete rundown of my favorite brand. More options = more confusion. Thanks for clarifying!

[@vsonic86]

Finally someone is talk about Sunline Fluorocarbon and in English as well. All I hear is seaguar, seaguar, and seaguar. One day, I walked into bait and tackle shop and found this sunline, I decide to give it a try. I'm very very impress by it. Saw they use a lot of sunline in Japan though but not much in America beside the seaguar fishing line.

[@jrcampos1952]

22lb SHOOTER IS THE GOSPEL! I've landed 35lbs yellowtail in kelp while fishing for calico bass. I had to break it once," just to know it was possible". And believe me when I say that when it finally popped , it sounded like a gunshot!

[@kevinzap.fishing]

Alright now u gotta do seaguar 😂

[@stoneysdead689]

I like stretchy line for chatter baits cause it makes the bait stall after I yank it out of the grass instead of shooting off really quickly- which gets me more bites I think, especially right now when they're not real aggressive. I want it to pop free of the grass cleanly but, then stall out- gives the fish time to see it and react. I have a mod/ fast action rod that's perfect for it. I gotta get over this depression and get back to fishing- my dog died, I think. She bolted after a deer and never came back. She was my fishing buddy and really my only companion, I miss her. You can't take the hunt out of a hunting dog though- she was a beagle, it was in her blood and even though I kept her inside and pampered her she was hell bent and determined she was going to hunt. I turned my back for a minute and she managed to jump a deer up right here by my house- and she was gone. I tracked them about 2-3 miles into the mountains but, I didn't have a gun or any gear and it was getting dark. Tried to go back out the next morning but it rained all night- and I'm not that good of a tracker, I couldn't find their trail again. Makes me really feel for ppl who have a loved one missing- not knowing what happened really sux.

[@ThroneOfDespair]

If your looking into Sunline products be prepared to spend some bread.Stuffs not cheap. That being said their product line is exceptional. Been using it for 20+years . Shooter or sniper for finesse applications and bottom contact baits. Sniper in 25/30lb for baits above 3ounces. But for moving baits,Sunlines Shooter defier mono is the clear choice. Sunline had a product called "machine gun cast" that was good but it had either been removed or just got hard to obtain. But I hear its making a comeback . I absolutely love both the shooter and sniper,but the defier mono is truly unrivaled and miles above anything else I've ever used, and I've tried countless brands both domestic and foreign.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Defier mono is the shit!

[@philliprasmussen3757]

This was very informative. It would be great if you could do this type of breakdown on Seaguar brand

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

It’ll be coming!! Thank you for watching!

[@bayouburner281]

Assassin is my go to for multiple techniques-Imo, it’s comparable to Invisix

[@Sweetaccord]

Sunline is smaller diameter though. 😊

[@tristanwood2512]

Very informative. As you said if you have the correct rod ur all good for some big bass!

[@erniesanders3724]

Amazing presentation. You killed it. Best I’ve ever heard.

[@jasondean9626]

Scheels sells Sunline sniper for $36.99 a spool, 200 yards for $36..99. I fish the Sunline super all season and It's great , I buy it in bulk spools even.

[@jackb9307]

I needed that..thx Ben..you convinced me on leader material.. Jack B

[@pj3p488]

I love Sniper. 7,10,16,20 are always in use

[@redaylward4527]

I see Super Sniper now. Is that the same as regular Sniper or is it the lower cost Super FC?

[@georgef3077]

I feel like I need a flowchart to navigate this. There's way more Sunline Fc lines than I thought! Thanks for explaining!

[@tjm12995]

the super flouro in my experience has been better for me than sniper, that kvd line conditioner will have a spool last me a month or so on my most used setups, also great video as always guys 🤙

[@wyomike62]

Picked up Sniper 10 lb today for my jerkbait rod. First time using fluorocarbon. Testing it out this weekend.

[@outdoorssmith5454]

Hey Ben you have to save me a spool of the invisible stuff in 12 lb, btw every single word you said here was facts, keep up the great videos

[@tomselick6983]

This totally needed to be posted

[@robalexander1784]

Thank you so much for this seminar i learned a lot. Great content

[@OutdoorPursuitsLife]

I notice the fc sniper that you first showed, in stores shelves, it is spooled badly. But when you get the others, i.e fc shooter/invisible it is spooled uniform and perfectly on.

[@morganyoder4277]

I'm a huge seaguar guy, but I have a spool of 20 lb sniper that might get tested sometime soon... Also as far as that sniper invisible goes with strength, the natural hue of fluoro is a light yellow (they added dye, not removed in this case), but us Americans don't trust it so they bleach it which weakens the line slightly hence why so many fluoros are weaker than you'd imagine. (Ex seaguar tatsu has a yellow hue and tends to be stronger than other fluoros of similar diameter)

[@fishing_amy]

Tks Ben for the information

Thanks, good information to know. Your video's are appreicated.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for watching!

[@mexprd]

Just seen your video on KZbin about the sunline fluorocarbon line, is fluorocarbon good for trout fishing? I have one rod just for powerbait and a second rod for spoons, small crankbaits, and small jerkbaits. My second question is I do a lot of finesse jig, Texas rig, lipless crank mostly for ponds and reservoirs what line size you recommend? Third and final question is that I have bought a bunch of swimbaits from you guys, 1oz is the heaviest I have, which size and line you recommend? Thank you once again for the video I learn a lot from them. If anyone else wants to chime in you’re more than welcome to.

[@juanrenerodriguez626]

[@keithsr.]

Great video! You earned my subscription 👍

[@Mr.BigPerch]

FC Sniper is my favorit for Finess Spinninggear 4lb, BMS Azayaka 8lb is great for small crankbaits for anything else i use Seaguar R18 Bass Fluoro is cheaper and you get 240m spools for around 20$ bucks

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

R18 is great stuff!

[@dannywaide4276]

I love sniper, it’ll last all season until I have to re-spool

[@vudo2555]

Any chance you could recommend a Braid to Flouro Leader setup for my Megabass Lavante Diablo for dedicated use for Swimbaits, Swimjigs, Vibrating jigs and an occasional Texas Rig. My initial thought was 40lb Smackdown to 16lb Snipper leaders but now wondering since that rod seems more on the stiffer side would you say thats a good application for the Sunline Dostrike as leader or not and am I even on right track for setup AND use of this rod?

[@michaeldinunzio7019]

Been using sunline natural 12 to 14lbs since 2019 never had a bad experience with it. I live in south Florida I love to throw weightless flukes what line you recommend.

[@blahblahmilbury]

I use fc leader for all finesse, fc crank for all of my treble setups and sniper for everything else

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Boom! Perfect lineup!

[@aggietommyjones]

Awesome info. How would you compare the assassin and the shooter overall? I’m a user of another brand I haven’t been satisfied with and I just watched a video of Gman using a 2 line system between shooter and sniper. Just wondering if I should do the same with sniper/shooter or sniper/assassin depending on how shooter and assassin compare

[@TKsw191145]

Best line for Chatterbaits and lipless crank baits on a Shimano Expride B 7’2” MH Glass with a Curado DC 7.4:1? Right now planning on using 20lb sniper like Bret Hite

[@nawinchester]

These are by far my favorite videos. Lucky craft LV, jerkbait and now the sunline breakdown are so informative. Thank you. Does the sniper spool well on spinning reels, ie is it manageable? Max lb test on spinning reels??

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Yes, it’s totally manageable! Depending on the size of your spool - 2500 size 6,7 or 8lb is great 👍. If you need above 8lb, I’d go braid to leader.

[@Jimmymag909]

ive caught some knarly fish with that 3lbs fc sniper

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Me too!!

[@Baitfinessefishing]

I don’t see you talking about sunline basic fc. It’s my favorite for bfs fishing and a good value

[@dondieselfishing4748]

I use cranking on both my crank and chatterbait rods cause theyre both a little heavy for the abllication in the terms of power and i gotta tell you that shit is strong, snagging a bait means you're going in cause that shits not breaking off, at least in my experience! and line conditioner is a god send because it allows the line to last so much longer.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Perfect application for that man! Thank you for the feedback 👊

[@urbanfinessefishing]

What size you like on the chatterbait setup ?

[@dondieselfishing4748]

@@urbanfinessefishing definitely depends on depth of water and time of year but I’m during the winter time like this all around I use 14lb and in heavy cover I’ll use 17 max just cause I feel the bait is moving so much slower than in warmer weather months so the see or feel the line I’ll even go down to 12lb if I feel presence that paranoid about it but during the warm weather days 16 for sparse and 20 or 22 sniper for heavy cover

[@tomselick6983]

I use braid to fluoro on some of my rods and like using sniper for it, I store it in the package, dry and out of the sun, should I worry about a “shelf life” ?

[@garym2293]

That is so many I only use 20# fc sniper for all my big bait setups tried seagarr abrazx was good but I trust my sniper Great Info Brother!!! Cheers!! :))

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I use 20lb sniper on almost everything too!

[@ChuckCooper]

I fish braid to FC leader. What leader would you recommend for heavy swimbaits for 30 LB braid on a Dobyns Fury Casting Rod 7'9" Med Hvy Swimbait?

[@ComunismoJamas]

You are really informative B .. 👏🏽👏🏽, my question is .. how often you reelspoling with a fresh Flouro ?

[@my71chevro1et]

fish it until it starts to get a cloudy / opaque / dull appearance, and it gets really gnarly and unruly to manage when it's done.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Hey man! It all depends on how good/bad I cast :). I use the KVD line conditioner religiously, so it’ll extend the life of my line pretty much forever. However, if I’m back lashing a lot, the line will get kinks in it, and then I’ll have to respool it.

[@zeljkolepen8290]

What line do you recommend for skipping Jigs???

[@rigoswave6434]

Which line do you recommend as a leader on braid for smaller guides/micro guides? Which is the thinnest?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

It’s less about the line and more about the knot. You’re going to want to tie the FG knot for best performance through those guides!

[@rigoswave6434]

@@thehookuptackle_usa thank you for the guidance, to be specific the rod I’m having issues with is a 6’8” medium bassX from st. Croix, are those guides micro? By the way loving the new website👊

[@hunterbull7804]

I’ve wanted to try crank fc for my jerkbait setup. Have y’all ever done that? Also does colored fluorocarbon appear underwater or because of the refraction, does it still act like clear line?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I’ve never used crank FC for jerkbaits. I could see it being useful if your rod is on the stiffer side (that’s what she said). The claim is that colored fluoro is less visible underwater.

[@my71chevro1et]

The JDM Shooter/Sniper FC (Invisible, BMS, and regular clear all same line diameter per lb test) is definitely a different formulation from the USDM Super FC Sniper. If you compare same lb test, the line diameters are different. Here in South Korea, we get the Shooter / Sniper FC (which I use for all my mainline applications, ~ $40 / 300m spool) and Sunline BASIC which is the cheaper / lower end FC and it costs ~ $15 for a 300m spool.

Good Info. For your info. Patents are for inventions. iPhone swipe is a patent. Copyright is for music, text pictures etc. TRADEMARKS are for names.

Do to your recommendation I did pick up some Sniper 7lb. for a spinning rod to jig fish Walleye’s on the Mississippi River and so far it has been fine but the ice just went off. Planning to get more water time this week. On a bait casting Rod I have been using Berkeley XL in 17lb for Northern Pike I have liked it for casting distance and the stretch when a large Northern Pike hits like a freight train. So far my largest is 47 inches in Canada. I have never needed a stronger line even in cabbage weeds I can still pull them out. What would recommend for a line to replace my Berkeley XL ? Thanks

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

I would FC Sniper! If you want to compare apples to apples, go by line diameter, and not the rating on the box. For instance, your 17lb Berkeley is likely going to be equivalent to 20-22lb sniper
