Fluorocarbon line?

[LMHunter]

When I buy fluorocarbon it's always Seaguar. Always worked well for me.

I've been using Vicious Flouro carbon since they came out. Never had any problems with it at all. I use 12 lb for crankbaits and 15-17 for other applications. I use the 17lb for flipping and have never had an issue with breakoffs. You just have to get in a habit of checking your line to ensure there are no knicks in it.

As for P-Line, it is great line but compare it to other lines sometime. You'll be amazed how much bigger PLine is when you compare the same size of it to another. From what I've been able to tell PLine 15 is actually like most others 20lb. It just appears to me that they are under rating their line.

Be very careful not to kink the line if you ever get a backlash or overrun on your reel. I have found that no matter what brand I have used that if the line is kinked it gets extremely weak in that point. Other that than I love floro. Just some stats for you all

Mono stretches 1 in per foot
Floro stretches 1/4 in per foot

Thats not true, Knot Wars did a test on Flouro and it stretches just as much as mono.

Here is a listing of tests performed on Flourocarbon's compared to Triline XL.

I haven't looked at those tests in a long time but I think they were done with dry line. Since mono absorbs water and fluoro doesn't, I would think that mono would stretch more when wet. Some fluoros seem to be more like mono in the way in handles/stretches and some brands seem to really have noticably less stretch.

Also, one of the worst performers in these tests I believe was Seaguar Invisix, but it gets mainly great reviews by folks who actually use it. I started using it this year and it's the best I've tried. I guess the point I'm trying to make is not put too much thought into these "lab results". IMO
