Hey Woo,

I have not tried the Vicious fluorocarbon but I have read
mixed reviews.  It is the most inexpensive fluoro I have seen
and this may be a case where you get what you pay for.  

I have tried several different brands of fluorocarbon and the
one I keep coming back to is the P-Line 100% Soft
Fluorocarbon.  For me, it performs as well as the high-end
premium fluorocarbon lines I have used, but is significantly
less expensive.  I highly recommend giving it a try.  For
fluorocarbon, it casts beautifully.  

When you spool up your bait caster with fluorocarbon, don't
leave too much of the spool empty either.  This can
drastically reduce your casting distance and line recovery. 
For starters, I would recommend leaving about an 1/8 of an
inch of space between your line and the edge of the spool.  

Keep us posted and let us know how it goes.
