Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon Line

Virtually invisible and almost invincible, Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon is at the apex of fluorocarbon evolution, and Seaguar’s strongest and softest line yet. Available in Japan for quite some time before it officially hit North American shores, Seaguar R18 Tatsu fishing line combines two 100% fluorocarbon custom resins using Seaguar's exclusive double structure fluorocarbon (DSF) technology. Super sensitive and abrasion resistant, the soft exterior resin provides tournament-grade knot strength and flexibility, while the hard interior resin vastly improves tensile strength. Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon also sinks faster so you can maximize your time in the strike zone. Like the flexible, lithe, and armored scales of a Dragon (tatsu – means dragon in Japanese), Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon has a tough, but soft exterior, which hides incomparable inner strength.

Comments: This is the best fluoro I have every fished hands down.  It is on level with the YGK, hi end Toray and other JDM lines that I have tried.  I wish it came in 30lb test and .018 diameter or .020 diameter. I would not spool an entire reel with Tatsu....Most people don't cast 150 feet consistently unless you are chunking a rattle trap or big crankbait... 50 yards is 150 feet.  You can spool at least 3 reels and sometimes 4 depending on size and spool if you use backing.  One spool of this will last the weekend angler for a long time.  I fished one spool on 4 jig rods from February through October and never respooled.  I never had a breakoff related to a fish or abrasion and not one break at the knot. I have had only one other line (non braid) in the last 15 years that stood up to that and it was the original formula of Sunline Shooter in 25lb test.  I do wish it was cheaper and also 250 yard spools...then I could get 5 reels per spool.  Just my thoughts...

Comments: Flipped with Tatsu for an entire season. Sure it is expensive but it is by far the best flourocarbon and for flipping you only need to put 50 yards on (use backing) and it lasts an entire season. Considering I spooled four flipping reels and it lasted an entire season the cost is pretty reasonable. I used to change mono at least 3-4 times per season anyways and the sensitivity and abrasion resistance is so much better. Also, makes great leader material!

Comments: Absolutely the best fluorocarbon fishing line that I have ever used. Very strong with great knot strength. Still not worth $40 to fill a spool.

From: Chad: Louisville, KY

Comments: Tied on 20lb test and it was so limp and it casts so well, I had to double check because I thought I put on the wrong size line, amazing limpness and low memory  compared to any other line I've used. Only problem is my Curado 300 holds 240 yards of 12lb test and it only comes in 200 yard spool, so a 250 yard spool would be nice, especially considering the price.

From: Martin: Carthage, TX

Comments: Best line but 250 yards would make more sense, and be a better value. Another fifty yards would mean 25 more per spool, almost enough to fill two reels with good line for $50 bucks, plus shipping.  Still doesn't sound great, but in fishing line as in life, you get what you pay for.

From: Randy: San Antonio, TX

Comments: Casting distance and sensitivity are about average to other flurocarbon lines. However, this is the strongest flurocarbon I've ever used. When I did encounter snags I would typically straighten the hook before the line would break. I cannot stress how strong the line is and on my most recent outting, I did not lose one fish to the line breaking. I don't have to tell you that this line is completely over priced but I'll gladly pay extra for peace of mind.

Comments: Best fluorocarbon line Ive ever used. Yes it is worth the money. Super soft and manageable and best of all, its super easy to cast.

From: Daniel: NC

Comments: I'm one of those guys that gets hung up - I throw it and work it in the nasty stuff. I lost about 40 lures in about 30 trips to lakes before Tatsu. After Tatsu I lost 3 in the next 30 something trips before the weather shut me down.  It is hard to pay that much, but from my math it pays for itself. There are other lines that won't break, but they aren't as manageable or invisible as Tatsu.

Comments: First, let me say that I am not a fan of fluorocarbon line in general. I don't like the brittleness and memory of it and would rather use a quality mono or braid. But let's face it, fluoro has it's advantages and situations where it is the best line. This is by far the best fluoro I've tried. I hate paying this much for it, but if I am fishing in a situation that calls for fluoro this will probably be the line I use.

From: Scott: New Mexico, USA

Comments: Good Fluorocarbon line....but come on Seaguar??!! the price is ridiculous!!! Like i said it is good but in my opinion it in no way is worth 40 bucks much less 48 bucks for anything over 10lb test. I really can't believe i paid this much for this line. I bought the 12lb test and maybe a heavy line would give me better results but i found this line to have a fair amount of memory( no less memory than other seaguar products) I will say it does tie knots a little better than most. If you are a fan of seaguar then my advice is to stick with whichever of their lines you're using now, because you can buy two spools of it for every one spool of Tatsu. The difference IS NOT worth the price.

From: Vance: North Carolina, USA

Comments: Best fluorocarbon I've ever used but obviously very expensive.

From: Spiro: Chicago, IL

Comments:I'm impressed with this line, it's like fishing with a mono but with all the characteristics of fluoro, soft yet tough, low memory. Its like Invizx but much more manageable,if you like Invizx you'll love Tatsu.
