Vanish's Shock Resistance, Knot Strength Improved
Friday, October 30, 2009
America’s best-selling and the first castable main-line fluorocarbon just underwent a makeover. Improving upon its shock resistance and knot strength, the scientists at Berkley have made this 100% fluorocarbon line better without sacrificing any of the handling properties that has made Vanish America’s favorite fluorocarbon.
An improved Vanish formula gives anglers confidence with hard hooksets or when powerful fish strike. Improved Vanish eliminates the worry by boosting shock resistance and improving knot strength.
“Fluorocarbon line is in every boat,” said Berkley pro Gary Klein. “There are certain applications where only fluorocarbon line will do, especially when presenting finesse applications around heavy cover. The improved formula from Berkley Vanish gives me the toughness that I need to compete day-in and day-out.
"I’ve been using Vanish for years and this formula is the strongest, most dependable fluorocarbon that I’ve fished. I can count on this line to get me through the fight without fail.”
Anglers who have tried Vanish in the past know what the brand’s blend of science and technology has done for the entire category of fluorocarbon line. Now, the improved formula keeps Vanish, Vanish Transition and Vanish leaders ahead of the crowd.
