I have used the Segaur in the past and have tried both the Ande and Berkely Vanish this season. I got the Ande for a great price, used 50lb and 60lb on both boat and surf. I think it is a bit stiff, harder to tie, and I have had a few break-offs at the knot. I have used the Bekely Vanish this past season in 30lb at the Cape, and I have tried the 50lb and 60lb off the boat. I liked it much better than the Ande, alot easier to work with and no unexplained break-offs. The Segaur is good, just overpriced I think. My favorite is still the Orvis Mirage, I know it was and may still be on sale at Orvis. At $10.99 for a 30 meter spool, you just cant beat it...That is cheaper than all of the above mentioned which usually come in a 25 yard spool by the way. The Orvis is not stiff and is easy to tie, I have used it in the 44lb, 52lb, 60lb, and 80lb.
Floro is denser than mono and so it sinks, unlike mono. Hey, anything to get my eels down faster....along with other baits. I think it really makes a huge difference when fishing clear water, especially in the daytime. Some days or nights I go through at least a spool of floro...easily.

I just think its the little things that sometimes make the biggest difference!!!
