Vicious Line Questions and Answers

Q: What are the Vicious line diameters?

A:

Q: What is the breaking strength of Vicious lines?

A: Vicious line will break 100% of the time at least 2 pounds over its rated strength.  90% of the time it will break somewhere between 3-6lbs over its rated strength.

Q: What kind of promo deals are available to get line into stores that don’t presently carry it?

A: Promo deals are worked out on a store by store basis.  Report your suggested promo deal to Tom Coss for factory approval.

Q: What packaging applies to what size spools? Specifically, the dispenser boxes.

A: Only the Ultimate copolymer in 600 and 1000 yard spools come in the dispenser boxes.  The 500 and 800 yd fluorocarbon spools will also fit these boxes.  Some retail customers use the same box for dispensing both types of line.

Q: What about the Ultimate Copolymer line, what is high-tech about it?

A: Low stretch.  The industry average elongation (stretch) for copolymer line is 35%-45%, but the average elongation (stretch) for Ultimate copolymer is 18%.

Low stretch gives added sensitivity.  The line of distinction between fluorocarbon and copolymer is being blurred by technology.  Fluorocarbon still sinks and becomes significantly less visible under water, and should still be used by those customers who require these properties.  For those customers who do not require fluorocarbon properties of sinking and invisibility, Ultimate copolymer can simplify their fishing by being more of an all-purpose line.
