mhall: I have a question for you that I would really appreciate some help on since you seem very knowledgeable on the line discussion. I fish dale hollow some at night with usually both spinning reels and baitcasters. I perfer the baitcaster, but will usually end up as the night goes on with the spinning rod due to cast control, in lure placement, and bottom line my eyes aren't what they use to be on picking out the back lashes especially at night so I get frustrated and lay it down. I have always fished with 14-17lb. flourscent mono to see the line while fishing a jig at night. However I think I am trying to fish the jig much like a worm bite, when you feel the tap tap reel down get the slack out of the line and set the hook and walaha NOTHING'S there. I have tried to disclipine(sp?) myself to jerk first and then reel and it has been a hurdle to overcome. I have never fished with braid or flourcarbon line, but have read and been told there is no strech in these lines which seems like it would be the better choice to fish a jig with. My question to you is this: Do they make a good quality line in the flouocarbon or braid, which ever is best, that is flourscent so a person can see it at night and still have the advantage of a no strech line to jig fish with and still have the senitivity as with mono? Sorry to be so long on the post and probably a dumb question to you, but I catch a few on the jig, however I miss alot on it too. Just trying to narrow the odds in my favor alittle more of having something on the end of the line when I do get to go. Thanks for any input you can share would be great...283 in middle Tn.
