Time to respool the reel's

[tender52]

This has probably been on here before. flurocarbon or mono? Another question is can I fill a spool with fluro, as you would mono? I fish everything under the sun from Bass, Pike, Perch Crappy, eyes, you name it. My biggest question would be does fluro last longer than mono? My stuff takes a real beating year round.

 

Thanks all

I'd be putting braid on over flouro and mono to be honest. 6lb Nano or 6lb Fireline will work for anything.

The only mono goes on my downrigger reels,

I use braid on almost all other reels, sometime with a floro leader,

[kickingfrog]

Same here for a superline. Braid on baitcasters and some spinning. Nanofil or fireline on spinning. If/as needed I then use mono or flouro tippets.

 

For me that gives me the versatility I need/want.

power pro braid and a fluro leader for the smaller fish just fluro, can't remember the brand but i think its some kind of trilene.

I agree also with braid. Power pro 8/30 in moss green works well for baitcasters and spinning imo.

After years of using Fireline using a rod with mono is like fishing with a rubber band.

No line memory and long casting ability is also a key factor.

lol i tried mono last year just to get rid off my old line. Its rediculous. Can't feel anything. Missed i dont know how many fish. Braid has spoiled us. Once they make nanofil abrasion resistant the line game is over lol Edited April 19, 2014 by manitoubass2

Braid for almost everything, different diameters from 20-50 pound test depending on what I'm fishing. I will match a floro leader in most cases for the visability factor. The only case where I use pure floro is ultra finesse and on my cranking reel as floro sinks a bit better than braid.

Power pro slick 8... I dont own a reel with only mono or floro anymore, except for.my float reels.

Braid and floro leader

For those that like braid try the moss green Power Pro in 4 or 5lb test for lighter applications. It's so thin it's amazing. I use it primarily jigging for walleye as well as casting for trout in small streams and inland lakes.

Most often I don't even bother with a fluoro leader, just tie direct.

Fluoro for everything but topwater, frogs, jig fishing heavy cover. Use braid for those techniques.

Thanks all. Ive benn using mono all my life. A friend said to switch months back, (early fall) then while watching fish T.V yesterday, they were promoting the suffix fluro and got me to thinking.

 

Thanks again

[Bernie]

With all the paid promoting they do on fishing shows I don't believe a word of it.

Most of us had used mono all of our lives as well. Then we tried a superline.
