Thread: Varivas Blue Moon Fluorocarbon

I tried out the Blue Moon FC 3lb a few weeks ago. First time fishing any kind of fluorocarbon line, so take my opinion with many grains of salt.

Overall, I wasn't a fan -- lots of line popping off the reel. A big part of that may have been using it on a tiny-spool reel (Okumo Ceymar C10) and somewhat windy conditions. It casted fine but nothing special. After losing many yards to wind knots, I wound up just laying 50 yards 2lb. Sufix Nanobraid over it as replacement main line.

I still have half a spool of the Blue Moon FC in my line stash, and I'll get it a shot at a future date on a bigger reel once I have more experience.

I had mine on a size 500 Shimano.
I didn’t experience any popping off the spool , it just didn’t cast as far as I expected and when I had that fish break off so quick , I think it was because it didn’t have any stretch .
Monofilament nylon just seems easier to fish with .
And that found some colored line in 2# . This maybe my replacement for my Floroclear Ive been using .
And it’s on sale at the moment, so I ordered myself another spool of each color .
I tested the breaking strength of the Ande line using my hand held trigger scale checker and consistently got 1.75# for the rated 2# .
I was impressed how long the line held with a 3-4# bass that swam under the docks the other day.
