    I've tried that Berkley Vanish flouro and it was horrible for me too! It was my first attempt at flouro (while I was learning on a baitcaster might have had something to do with it), but I wasted the whole spool because after a few backlashes the line was so kinked it wouldn't pass through the level-wind. I'll admit some was inexperience, but even from there I wasn't happy with that line. It was too stiff and wouldn't spool off correctly.

    I've been using Berkley 100% and it seems to be ok.

    Try using Seaguar. It's abit more expensive, but its top notch. I mainly use there leader, but also have a reel set up with Seaguar InvizX main line. 100% Flurocarbon, and no kinks, even with a backlash.

    Hey guys...when Vanish first came out it was horrible...stiff as wire...but it has been re-formulated a few times and the latest offering is a decent line for the money. I use it for leader material, but if I was going to spool the whole reel with fluoro, I'd go with the Berkley 100% or the Seaguar. Has anyone tried that new Hi-Seas fluoro?
                                                                                       

       
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if it wasn't for my super smooth carbon drag, my 30 year old Trilene would bust!

    I have used the Triple Fish with good results, but have yet to try it on a baitcaster. The big plus to the T F is the price, about 60% of most other fluoros.

    I really like the Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon in the gold spool, rarely if ever knots up and it's very supple.

    I like Viscous fluoro, its reasonably priced too compared to other brands. Bass Pro XPS fluoro isn't too shabby either. Also, try starting with a thicker fluoro and work your way down the line sizes..smaller diameter line on a baitcaster will cause you more grief, especially if you're a beginner. Just my 2 cents.
