My huge supply of Vicious Panfish hi vis (made in USA) has about run out and I'll soon need to replace it. Has anyone done a comparison of Vicious Panfish, now made in India, to the good ole stuff. I'll probably order one spool just to compare myself but if it's already been done I would appreciate your thoughts.
Interested in this also
I have both in stock; however, at this time I see no difference.
My cost has gone up! Need a chain saw to open the cartons, glued not taped, very heavy cardboard.
Monk
Looks like I gotta find a new favorite line! Don't wanna buy no furrin made stuff. :(
Most fishing tackle sold in the US is "furrin made". ;)Quote:

Just makin a joke....good think is, I am stocked up on my Vicious. Dang I better go check those labels....
I'm sticking with Gamma. Still made in the USA.
Stren...an old faithful!
I may look at Gamma also. Some Strens (at least) are still USA too. For whatever reason I think I want to try 2 lb and I see little of that in the big box catalogs, nothing locally (no mom and pop's left). Trying to keep it domestic if possible. Louie has Vicious in bulk 2 at Grizzly.Quote:

Gamma. Strong as nails and doesn't kink as bad as Viscious.
Good people to deal with too. Ordered a spool of 4 & 6# and the 4# spool had 10 or 12# on it, I took a pic of the label and emailed them with my number and info and they called thanked me and told me a spool was in the mail.Quote:

I've looked at Gamma but have not tried it. Hard to pull the trigger when it is 8 to 10 times the price of Vicious in a bulk spool.
