Fluorocarbon fishing line can be pretty darn expensive. Last year alone, I spent well over $600 on various diameters to get me through my tournament and guiding seasons. Because our fishing line is the most critical link between us and the fish, I actually factor fishing line purchases into my annual budget.

I’ve been hearing about Seaguar Red Label Fluorocarbon for several years. Several of my very successful fishing buddies swear by it; they won’t use anything else. When it came time for me to respool a few of my reels, I finally purchased a few spools for $14.99 to see what the hype was about.
