This line has not been out long so there isn't a mass of feedback to share. So far though, it seems as if customers are overwhelmingly positive about Seaguar Basix
It is incredibly cheap when you compare it to big players on the market, coming in at only $9.99
This fluorocarbon line is affordable and supple. Two words that you will not see used together often in a budget fluorocarbon review
More manageable than its slightly more expensive, Seaguar Red Label cousin
Great castability and manageability. It may even be supple enough to use on a spinning reel
Solid strength, knot strength and abrasion resistance
Overall, it seems like this line really does offer the performance benefits of fluorocarbon at a fair price. Time will tell!

Reasons not to buy

It is not as good as Invizx, Abrazx or Tatsu. But really... Can we expect it to be at $9.99?

I personally think that at its price, this is the best fluorocarbon you can buy. Incredibly soft, casts well, stupidly strong and abrasion resistant, decently thin, and holds knots very well. My only complaint, which is big, is that compared to every other fluoro I've ever used, the larger lb test (15 and above) of BasiX start developing memory after just a few weeks, whereas it takes a month or two for other thicker lines or thinner BasiX. Otherwise, still my go-to.

It’s hard to describe this line. Is it the best fluoro out there? No. Is it good? It’s really good. In my opinion this line offers better value for money than any other fluoro on the market. It does everything you need it to do without being spectacular, but for the price you pay it is truly amazing.

Strong, manageable and affordable. No other line in the market does what BasiX does at this price point.

I have always been an InvizX guy but just can't justify the price tag at the moment. What BasiX offers at this price point is incredible. Solid manageability, amazing strength and enough abrasion resistance to throw it into cover with confidence. My new go-to fluoro.

Bottom Line

Up until now, finding a well rounded, pleasant to use fluorocarbon line at a price point anything close to $9.99 has been impossible. Plain and simple. It seems as if Seaguar really may have changed that with Basix. Early reviews point to the fact that this line offers all the key benefits anglers want with fluorocarbon at a fair price, without much compromise on castability and manageability.

This may well be the product that turns the fluorocarbon market on its head and sets a new standard at the lower price point!

FAQ's

Seaguar Basix vs Seaguar Red Label

The key difference between the two fluorocarbon lines is that the Seaguar Basix comes at a much more affordable price as a mainline. In terms of performance, both lines have similar results in terms of abrasion resistance and strength. However, many consider the Basix to have better manageability.

About the brand

Seaguar's scientists invented fluorocarbon fishing line back in 1971, and it was their goal to pack it with high performance, never-seen-before features to help freshwater anglers everywhere catch more fish.

They are ranked as the best brand when it comes to fluorocarbon, and they are the only company who makes its own resins and controls the process from start to finish. Seaguar has also made the world's only Double Structure fluorocarbon line that combines two exclusive Seaguar resins for high performance fishing.
