Unlike previous packaging, this one is different. The one I have always had says it was made in Japan.
You should contact the shipping company who delivered the item.
Saltwater is what I use it for. A couple of years ago, I had more success with it. As I am checking it out again, I am on the fence at the moment about whether its worth the price.
I don't see any yellow boxes or red boxes in this line, so I'm not sure you're looking at the same thing.
Selected User Reviews For Seaguar Tatsu, Strong and Supple, Premium, 100% Fluorocarbon Performance Fishing Line, Virtually Invisible
Saltwater fishing rigs will be stealthy with this item! Among many years of purchasing Seagar Blue and Premier Flouro, I remember when I first started. In my opinion, it's simply the best. Basically, I was looking for a line with the same diameter and strength as Seagar Premier at half the price. Considering how many Pompanonrigs I tie, I think this is an attractive option. Then I snelled my hooks to the end, wrapped my float around the line, and placed a float on the line as my dropper. I used a Snoot (dropper loop rig with one end cut) as my dropper line. In the top end of the rig, I used a figure 8 loop to connect the rig to my main line. At the bottom, I tied on a snap swivel so that a pyramid weight could be attached. In addition to being quick and easy to tie, these rigs also seem to be very Regardless of the weather, I caught a bunch of Pompano and they mostly performed Several of them broke under normal conditions, so I say for the most part. I was even able to haul in some very large drums and stingrays with some rigs that were so strong. We still do not know the answer to the question of durability. The rigs were prone to breaking a lot more often than usual. If this is the case it is likely that I failed to tied the knot correctly or I did not lubricate the knot enough while tightening it. There have been times when my rigs broke in strange ways, and sometimes even the most expensive lines have broken this way. The possibility of swallowing a hook by a catfish with sandpaper teeth could also complicate the situation. I was even getting bites despite having mono in my system. It is amazing that a few Pompano pros asked me how I was getting so many bites when they weren't. All of them had never heard of this line until I pointed it out to them. There were several people who asked if I would lend one of my gears to them. It is a rig that they have tied and used for many years, which they went exclusively to. The effect is great! Therefore, in summary, this is a high-quality, very stealthy, super thin Flouro line that I caught a lot of fish with, and the fish I caught were of higher quality than the fish I caught with my fishing buddies. Seagar Premier - is it better or equal? That's a question I cannot answer yet, and I am unsure if I will put in enough work to investigate it.
Fish with super light line in saltwater and take into account that you will get way more bites, but you will also break some of them An important aspect of line strength is the breaking strength of a dropper loop rig! A few missing rigs might be worth getting more bites in the end, but you have to decide if it is worth losing a few rigs. It is an excellent line, and my only wish would be that it was available in up to 60# strength.
You can buy fluorocarbons from just about anywhere. My experience as a fisherman spans 27 years. I have caught steelheads, tunas, and just about anything else you can name. My knowledge of knotting extends to fluorocarbons--when I use them I know that they are terrible. The eight and ten lb test are what I bought and brought with me to fish On brand new fish caught on brand new hooks set on 10lb test, I snapped three fish off in a row using 10lb test Those leaders were chaffed. Cut 20 yards of the leader off thinking maybe there was a defective section or something like that, laced it on, and the second fish I hooked snapped it off. This 8lb test produced the same results. Needless to say, I threw it away along with all of my Tatsu spools.
Memory curls up in this thing like a gorilla with wings. Each of the test lines is manufactured in a different country. It is made in China and I just got 12 lb test line! The great country of China, not Japan or Taiwan, is of great quality! Although the line is Fluorocarbon, one must be careful to avoid backlash when casting if they are not careful and watch their line carefully.
Knot strength and memory does not appear to be an issue. As of yet, I have not had it on long enough to notice a problem with memory. It has been difficult to keep it durable. During a long struggle on my steelhead rig (8lb test) I snagged my line when I was fighting a salmon in the open river. Considering that this is a new rod and reel rig, I do not think there was any issue with the guide or roller. It might have been that the fish dragged me over a part of the line that I wasn't aware of and scraped it up so that I destroyed any line. I think maybe. The next day, it was evident that the line didn't just have a few feet of damage, it was shot completely. I didn't notice it during the fight, but definitely something happened to the line. The line was severely distorted and tarnished, and some of the silver had to be taken off, affecting The $40 line was only used a few times, so for me, there is no need to add another one.
Tatsu is regarded as one of the best fluros money can buy, according to every source I read. A spinning rod is not compatible with this stuff. It jumps off of the reel and tangles every time, even when it doesn't tangle when cast. It also wraps around the rod tip and you find yourself needing to unwrap it before reeling it An extremely frustrating experience. Unfortunately, the line has already been spooled, so there is no way to return it. I will be throwing it out shortly.
It was a little sceptical so I decided to test it against the red and blue Seaguars. Unless it is for one or two applications, Floro is rarely used in mainline. Most of the time it is only used as a When using Trilene knots in this product, the breaking strength is greater than with red or blue labels. One of my favorite versions of this is the 6 pound weight when used in conjunction with a PowerPro super 8 20 pound On jerk bait and finesse jigs, I also use the 10 pound as a leader on the 40 pound super eight.
I have used all the other carbon lines on the market, and this is the best. * Best? That is a subjective term, but this is how I would describe it. In my opinion, tatsu has the least amount of stretching and is the most abrasion resistant of all the lines. I have definitely seen an increased number of bites and fish since using tatsu. Using #12 for jerk bait and #15 for traps, cranks, and jigs, as well as altering 20/25 for swim bait, I use them for many different applications. There is a big difference between #20 and #25. If you have many reels to spool, #25 will be stiffer and more costly than #20. But don't buy it because you will buy more and you can end up spending more money.
