I use lots of Varivas lines and couldn’t be more pleased. Good write up. One of my big ones was a 5lb 10oz Tilapia on Varivas PE that was just over 4lbtest. Worth the price, hands down!

Good stuff!

I'm bring this thread back as it is time for me to expand on my Varivas Fishing Line use. Y'all can count on Varivas Braid shooting & casting further than expected. Still totally surprises me the performance the PE x8 Infinity delivers. My first report still stands........Hopefully Varivas will post a line sale here ASAP for us. Varivas = KABOOM!

I got a new dock shooting rod and an ultra lite for casting. You still recommend the Nylon super trout advance in 8lb? Think i will go with the infinity you recommend in 5.6lb for my ultra lite.

Area Super Trout INFINITY PE X8 – VARIVAS

I see the rating has changed by one point to 5.5# & 7.5#. If you shoot the 7.5# Infinity PE X8 you won't go back to the nylon 8#. The Infinity shoots effortlessly 2 times as far. A example I was trying to shoot a Curlytail under the Hwy 43 bridge up current to retrieve along the pilings (bridge is 2 lanes). I really didn't load the rod, using a 1/16th jighead, there is 2ft of freeboard between water and concrete overhead. Not kneeling down I drew back and shot the first shot all the way under the bridge to about even with the outside edge with the 7.5# Infinity. Surprised, I bared down on the second shot and launched the curlytail well out past the other side of the bridge allowing me to let the jig sink for the return starting well outside the first concrete pillar. The Infinity needs a mono leader tied to it before the jighead as the Infinity seems to break at the knot for me a lot when I set the hook. If you run a short leader (3ft or so) tying on jigs goes much faster too. I love the 8# Super Trout Advance as a serious Workhorse. I reach for it 90% of the time as I'm shooting here where there are barnacles and Spanish muscle clusters. When I know it's a clean dock I reach for the Infinity. Buy the 7.5# unless you're Bream fishing with smaller than 1/32oz baits. The 5.5# will cast 1/32oz a mile. I hope this helps in you're decision making.
