my friend uses vanish on one of his spinning reels for finesse bass fishing, and he's never had problems with it. it's strong, and it doesnt absorb water like monofilament. i think superlines have their place in certain situations, as does any line. i would stick with the vanish, should work great.

I have used Vanish in many situations and it holds up well. The only problem I have had with it is using a full spool it tends to twist up often so you can end up with a rats nest. I still use it but only as a leader, generally I spool up with fireline then attach about 6' of vanish at the end with a barrel swivel.

I use it for filler and for leader, and never have problems with it other than standard issues you find with mono. I really like it. Good luck.
