Sunline Super FC Sniper Fluorocarbon Fishing Line

Spool has no brand markings and limited indication that it is actually Sunline FC Sniper. I have my doubts that it is authentic as I don’t think Sunline would sell unbranded line spools. I will give it a try and see how it works.

Line is manually wound on spool, so who knows if there’s twist? I will not buy bulk line again on Amazon. I am not the first poster pointing this out. Whether it’s actually as advertised I cannot say.

I really don't want to like this line due to the price, but it's really good overall. I was using it on a M power F action rod to fish light flipping jigs the other day, hooked a tree, and managed to pull the jig free instead of breaking it off after paddling over the snag in my kayak. Yeah that's pretty good. Caught a couple 2-3lb bass, nothing huge, but so far I'm impressed with the 8lb test. I've been using 12lb on my crankbait rod for a while and it's been quite good as well. I've been using Palomar knots to tie on lures, and the knot strength has been very good.Update: I did run into an issue with the 8lb test. On a Daiwa Tatula CT-R, I managed to catch it between the spool and the reel body. Not the lines fault, but I'm going to need to go up to 10lb at a minimum on that rig. The 8lb appears to have just a bit more memory than the heavier pound lines as well. I'd still recommend it, but for baitcasters only on one rated for lighter lines. I've had similar diameter braid on the same reel no issue, but it's a little stiffer and courser so that makes sense.

Sunline Sniper and Seaguar Abrazx are my favorite flourocarbon lines to date, and for baitcasters I rate them both at 5 stars. But... the 7 lb Sunline hasn't worked out so well on my or my wife's spinning reels. Weird random line twists and birdsnests resulting in knots. Even stranger is that the line shows almost zero memory coming off of either spool. On my wife's reel this actually happened on the second cast. On my setup I had to cut the line twice in the first day of using this flouro and this was while using Tokyo rigs assembled with swivels. The spools were also treated with line conditioner twice before use, so I'm at a loss as to the cause. I'm going to try spooling both reels out behind the boat with weight attached to see of it helps. If it doesn't, it's pretty expensive line to put up with cheap line type problems.

My first foray into fluorocarbon. I was frightened by some of the reviews on giving it a try. I spooled it up on a spinning reel with no problems. I then went fishing. Used no swivel casting a swim bait and didn't experience any line twist or unspooling on it's own. Didn't notice any memory any worse than similar diameter mono. Really didn't see any advantage or disadvantage to mono on the way it cast ,felt or set hooks. Maybe it sinks better;couldn't tell that either. Permanent snag in cat tails showed me it doesn't break prematurely as it required a lot of effort to break off. Seemed better in that regard to mono of same # test. The visibility advantage I do believe as I found it hard to see tying knots as the light doesn't reflect on it.. Whether that's worth the price to me I guess depends on how clear of water you fish. Caught em for me.

So far I'm disappointed It has a lot of memory and will not work on a spinning reel . I'm having problems with knots breaking and I'v never had a problem with knots before I tie a 100% knot that never breaks until I got this stuff. It's rough spooled and makes the line weak everywhere it's wrapped over it self . Getting ready to take all the line off and toss it. I was exspecting better quality. Maybe I just got a bad spool but will not tack a chance and order any more I'll stick with another brand that I know.

This line broke off twice in the same spot right at the knot. The knot survived and was in tact both times but the line broke off right before the knot. Lost a really nice trout because the line broke off. It’s really sad that I didn’t get the fish and it’s probably going to die because it would bleed from the hook and about 4 feet of line attached to it. I’m throwing this junky line away. I’ve used other brands 4 lbs and 6 lbs and I never had the line break like that.

people really rant and rave about this line. Its not bad line you can easily feel the hits with it but the price is pretty high! knots held up well but its not the best line for casting on a baitcaster or spinning reel it is a little stiff and I know not to over fill the spool and use a line conditioner. I will probably stick to mono it's much cheaper and does a pretty good job! If I was going to use fluoro I would probably use seguar I think its a little less stiff. I always thought fluoro had less stretch than mono but that's not true look online you can view the results for both types of line you will be surprised like I was. Again I'm not nocking this line It's just not for me the price is just to high for me I like gamma and ande back country lines these two monos are very tough and come in bulk spools for a pretty good price. Great knot strength and not much stretch. They also come in highly visible line if that's for you it is for me. I catch a lot of fish on mono its only draw back it doesn't sink like fluoro so it is your choice!
