    Thumbs up Re: Am i the only on who dislikes Fluorocarbon ?

    Most People who have a Fluoro problem. Well you here all about Try this line and That but you never hear anyone say if you are breaking on the hook set YOUR DRAG IS TO TIGHT.

    With Fluoro line if you grab your line and pull it if you do not have a smooth pull with this line in will break.

    I have a buddy that was having this and we went to Barren and I like to have cut my hand when I did a pull test on his. Backed the drag and he has not broke off again.

    I agree with Newton. Your drag is too tight. If you are applying a good firm hook set on a good fish your drag should slip. I have used several brands out their. Viscious, Seagur, Yozuri and my biggest probelm about the line is I cant break it when I get hung up. I tie the palomar knot 95% of the time. Too be honest I dont use line conditioner either. I will spray a little real magic on from time to time. I also re tie often.

    This is true about the drag if you like to do bill dance hook sets.I never was one to do a hardhook sets so not a issue but I have buddys that seem like they use their whole body to set a hook and break their line on the hook set I tell them the same thing loosen the drag to off set the hook set and no proublems after that. But for me I had p-line 100% fluorocarbon and fluoroclear and have had no proublems.
