Sunline FC sniper vs Sunline Basic

[creek bandit]

Ok guys what is better for a 1500 - 2000 reel?
4lb Sunline FC sniper. Or
4lb Sunline Basic FC
I know they are different in price and spool sizes.
I want pros and cons from those that have used either or both.
No other line or brand information is required.
Cheers guys.

I've fished 4lb and 5lb sunline sniper on a 2506 and 2500 reel. Was completely unremarkable. And I mean that in a good way. Just worked - no hassles with memory, decent abrasion resistance (for an fc), easy to tie knots with. At the moment theres nothing prompting me to look at anything else. Haven't tried basic so can't help you with the comparison there.

I've used both of them on 3lb I reckon the basic is softer with more stretch than the sniper.

Both great though

I have FC sniper in 4 lb on my trusty old tierra 1500 and can't fault it.
I have a few spare reels and spools and was just wondering if the Basic was worth a try. I'm a fan of sunline products.
