P Line Fluroclear?

[muskie_man]

I have a question about P Line Fluoro Clear. Unlike pure fluro will i be able to use the fluoroclear on topwater baits or does it still sink like the pure fluro does? Also is this stuff just as invisible and sensitive as pure fluoro is? Thanks for any info!

It sinks and therefore not so good on topwater baits. I find it very sensitive with little stretch and invisible. In short I love the stuff, just watch your knots and re-tie fairly often and you'll be fine. I've drug up trees off the bottom with 10lb test, it's strong too.

what kind of knot do you find works best?

[Bobby Headrick]

Palomar on all slick lines and braids.

Part of the reason that P Line is so strong is that it is bigger diameter than other lines of the same lb test. Look at the diameter of any P Line and compare to same lb test of other brands and you will see it is larger. I always thought P Line was SUPER stong versus others, and it is, but it is due to being larger in diameter. I do agree with the Palomoar knot. I use it on EVERYTHING, including C-Rig and FNF leader and never had a problem and also agree that Mono or even Braid is better than Flouro due to it not sinking. You will get better action.

Elnuts..... how much did P line pay you to say all that stuff???? You're on their Pro Staff aren't you???? If not, you should be with all those 5 pound brown fish you caught on the FnF this past winter..... good to see you post and hope all is well..... when you coming down to DH??? DH is not just a FnF thing -- you can actually catch good ones all year long....... tight lines

Sorry Dover but I gave up P Line after the winter of 2005 due to its diameter. I started using Bass Pro XPS Flouro and love it even more than P Line. Yes, I have landed my fair share of 5 pound Brown fish on P Line but decided to change anyway. Won't be coming to Dale until night fishing heats up in June, July and August. Pretty much it is Winter and Night fishing for me at Dale chasing Brown fish. My spring and early summer is devoted to Ky Lake for Greenfish with the spring, flower bite and early ledge bite.

So what does everyone prefer? Flouro or mono? I am currently fishing P-Line Flouro-coated and XPS flouro and I am unsure if I like it. It seems to me that I caught more fish with my monofilament line. I believe I am going to change back to mono and see I produce more fish. I am just not sure or experienced enough to really tell the difference. I am not sure all the sensitivity advertisement of flouro is all it is cracked up to be...may just be a sales pitch...but if you believe it I guess it will work. Just like any other products I guess.

I have tried the Flouro but went back to mono. I do use braid for a c-rig and a mono leader. If the water is real clear I will go down in line size. Ryan.

Diameter difference is minor at best.

Palomar and the trilene knot I will use on worms and jigs, it's also very strong. Just keep an eye on your knots and six inches above, don't be afraid to re-tie if looks suspicious. I fish super clear water most of the time this is why I migrated to Flouro lines. However I still use alot of mono's in the low-vis green and like it too. Everyone has there own personal preference I guess. But the P-line Flouro Clear is a good product, there's alot of guys that fish for a living that swear by it. It will get some memory too, but if you try to keep it straight and not let your baits spin on you it will be fine.

I use it for everything except Topwater!
