Fluorocarbon line

[skinny]

Thanks guys, all good useful info. I am going to experiment some, buy sm. spools at a time and see if I like it better this time around. I am also going to try braid for cr and then fluoro for the leader. Thanks, Tim

i use XPS fluoro on my c-rig, but i use p-line as a leader. (the reason) cause fluoro sinks not letting the bait float up off the bottom...KP

i would not buy the regular pline flurocarbon. had to contact the company after loosing 3, yes that is right 3 rapala baits on it in one night. turns out they tested the line and said that line must have come off the bottom of the spool and the weight of the upper part of the spool sometimes kinks the lower line. (keep in mind these spools are shipped from japan, and are so big they move them with a fork lift.) i did alot of studying on this. and here is what i have found. pline halo is the best i have ever used. i would rate seaguar pro as the second best. things to remember with fluro... on a spinning reel, never ever fill the spool over 2/3 full. if you do it will want to spring off like a slinky. low stretch, its not a good idea to use fluro on a med/hevy or hevy rod if you do hard hooksets. (unless) you are fishing in deep water where you will loose some power on the hookset. but honestly,, for the diffrence in money it cost vs mono, you would almost be better to use a mono line and tungsten weights. the tungsten will give a little better relay on the bottom structure and help a little with sensitivity, which is the point of fluro. hope this helps.
