Jig Line

I fish Gamma FC for all my bottom bouncing and feel it is a distinct advantage.

FC is touted as less stretch but tests on tackletour.com showed that was not the case vs. many hybrids and mono. Most of the FC manufacturers and pro's now say FC is a denser line and transmits energy more like a solid.

The gamma pure FC has a stiff feel to it but casts a long way. If you will watch a friend fish your rig with Gamma FC you will notice the line jumping around harshly when rocks are hit (really sends a signal to you if you have titanium wire guides). Now watch the same guy fish the same rod, reel, and a hybrid like Pline Florclear and you will see much much less jumping on the line on the same rocks. My Dad was recently testing the sensitiveity of his rod vs. mine with the only difference being the line. I was amazed just watching the line. Like me, he now pays $20 a spool for Gamma FC.

others may have learned something different but for bottom bouncing of any type, I go Gamma. Only exception is in Florida when I might use braid for everything but they have few to no rocks in Florida to cut the line.
