Fluorocarbon problems

[artcarney_agr]

...but casting distance was horrible .with my spinning setup a 6,9 ML veritas rod and shimano saros with Pline or Suffix pro mix casting was phenomenal.doing nothing else but using fluorocarbon i lost about 15-20+ ft a cast

I don't think fluoro is a good choice on spinning reels, no matter what the brand is.

I use braid on my spinning reels, with a fluoro leader. Try that somethime and see what kind of casting distance you get...it's awesome! It's also pretty cheap too, as braid will last you at least two seasons of fishing, and you're only using about 6 ft of fluoro at a time.

All I use is mono and flourocarbon because I was told braid will cut a notch into your rod. How long of a leader do you make when using a flourocarbon leader?

This is what I do also, you can really set the hook with your finesse stuff this way also. Fluorocarbon on a spinning rod is a recipe for disaster. You have to use 6lbs test just to keep it from misbehaving and twisting violently. I use spiderwire invisabraid 20 lbs with a 10lbs seaguar red label leader, about 6-8 feet long. I use a double uni to tie them together. It also increases the sensitivity, you feel everything.

With any line/knot it is recommended to wet the line before cinching the knot. This is especially true for fluoro lines. And like several others have said, I like using the P-Line and the XPS. Tried a few others before, but once I started using these I have no reason to try any others.
