[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5068123, member: 6230"] its been tested by line manufacturers and the dude in the article below. in ultra clear water flouro 10lb or less is the hardest to see, for humans. but fish see it differently, if they didnt then they wouldnt be able to feed on the different planktins that are microscopic to us and some are translucent just like clear fishing line. but seeing is believing, watch this video and pay attention to when he goes from clear to green tinted water, which we have usually on KY lake in the late spring and summer: [MEDIA=youtube]pg7cOdvBb0I[/MEDIA] then read this article, which further explains in detail: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/amp/s/activeanglingnz.com/2016/01/04/the-fluorocarbon-myth/amp/[/URL] so in a nutshell there are different reasons to use different lines and when it comes to braid i always use a leader, sometimes flouro and sometimes mono, basically for sensitivity, stretch and abrasion resistance. KY lake mussel shells and rocks are hard on braid. flouro is also slightly smaller diameter with less drag which cuts through water for like cranks but a lot of fish have been caught on 10lb mono and cranks as well. when it comes to bass fishing, ive often wondered if flouro is the magic bullet then how did Rick Clunn win 4 classics and numerous other tournaments with 90% of his reels lined with mono?
