Title: Fitzgerald Fishing Vursa Braid
Post by: SteveTX on August 06, 2019, 07:00:53 PM
Anyone ever use this stuff? My local tackle shop has just put the 40, 50, and 60lb in black on sale 50% off. They are only 100 yard filler spools but if the line is decent at $8.50 a spool I may/might grab some. I just cant find any reviews good or bad online.  :-\
It says its 8 strand and lists these points.
Quote*Round & versatile for smother, longer Cast
*UV Resistant
*Impact Resistant
*Super Abrasion Resistant
*Maximum Knot Strength
*Great for Inshore Fishing
*Great for Offshore Fishing
   Great for flippin', pitchin', froggin' and everything in between!

I've never heard of it but with the internet, no news is good news. If someone had any trouble with it the internet would be fired up about it, even people that never used it...

Lots of people down here us FG stuff. Local I guess. But, my 1000m spools of Spectra are more resistant to fraying, and only a few bucks more.  lo . I can help you find it if you want, just PM me.

Looks interesting and a decent price. If it's not great you're not even out 10 bucks.

I won't buy ANYTHING Fitzgerald Fishing puts out for personal reasons though.
