I use Flouro for EVERYTHING except topwater and flipping the buck brush or heavy timber. Mono for topwater and braid for flipping wood. For cranking you will get the absolute maximum depth with flouro on your crankbaits. For deep cranking, I will make a long cast and let the bait sit for up to a minute to let the line sink first so it is pulling the crankbait down from the first crank of the reel, plus it will help you get a couple of extra feet on your depth not to mention getting and keeping the bait in the proper depth you desire. I also use Flouro for all my soft plastic and jigs as well. With the less stretch than mono and the fact that it is almost totally invisible under water, lets me "feel" what I am dragging it thru plus I get better hooksets with flouro since it stretches less than mono. I even use it for night fishing and will give up the ability to see my line under the blacklight for the feel of what I get by using it. It might be more expensive to buy but since I don't change from technique to technique, I find myself re-spooling a lot less often than I used to.
