dheitzner Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 i use seagar or raven on the tribs, approx.3-5lb, seagar 8lb as a leader for eyes and smallies in the summer, and 65lbseagar as material for pike/muskie leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdej Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Tired the Seaguar main line last year on a spinning rig, didn't like it but I don't think it was the manufacturer, I think it was the floro in general. Now only use floro leaders, Seaguar leader line & Maxima leader line.... Both seem to perform equally well. I seem to migrate to the Seaguar cause its like 1$ - 2$ cheaper per 27yard spool.

setomonkey Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I use Seaguar for my fluoro leaders. I wouldn't recommend spooling fluoro as your main line, I did that once and found the line was stiff and had a lot of memory coming off the spinning reel.

Bigfish Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Segar, very smooth, and easy to cast. Expensive but I feel its worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyk Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I also use seaguar fluro but im not happy with it. ITs a little stiff. I think i my try the pline floro coated mono. I have heard good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrap Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 What do you guys mean by stiff? The line works well for me and I haven't expierenced any tangles yet. Even when I leave the spool open the line doesn't jump off. Although when I cast I do find it tough to toss because the line is so thin it sometimes just jumps out of my hand.

lew Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I use 130 pound Seaguar leaders on my musky rods. About 18 - 24" for casting rods and 48" on the trolling rods Great stuff !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFR Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 It is not necessary to spool your entire reel with fluorocarbon line. Only need fluoro as a leader. I currently use 130# Seaguar for musky leaders. When I'm fly fishing or using other types of fishing gear, I use a quality mono, like Ande, Maxima, and a fluoro leader. Depending on the conditions a leader of 18-24" is sufficient for most fishing applications. # test of 6 to 12 is more than adequate. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 For the last 5-6 years I've been using Siglon and Raven Fluorocarbons in 4-10lb for fly/float fishing. Great stuff. Used to use Seaguar a while back but the shops near my house stopped carrying it. Still using Titanium for pike fishing...Maybe one day I'll get out of the stone age and try FC in 80+lb for pike leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moemoe Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I use the p line 100% fluoro on my main line, along with a spool of power pro for the same reel....been using the p line for three years now and love it...little stiff but hey its fluoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Ive been switching through them, started with vanish and the first few batches were awesome, then it went to hell in a handbasket. Tried lots of them but now I just tied up 20 leaders of 4 and 6 pound vanish so called "improved". Well see how it works when the tribs calm down.

mdej Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 What do you guys mean when you say the line is stiff? When I say still I think more of line memory. Meaning the loops don't straighten as well coming off the spool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
