Fishing line question

[pockets]

I use Vicious Panfish. It is some pretty tough stuff.

Well I AM convinced. You're not going to change my mind about it either.

lol, i dont try to convince anyone of anything. like lefty once said, theres more bullcrap in fishing than in a cow pasture. most of it thought up by marketing execs.

I bought me a spool of braid the other day.
I am gonna rig up my newest reel with the braid and a fluro leader and see how I like it.

I tried it last year and it is so much more user friendly than putting solid flouro on a spinning reel.

You mean like red line disappears in the water, but red hooks make the fish bite???

yeah kind of like throwing an a-rig and all those steel leaders must disappear as well.

If you aren't fishing braid to leader on a spinning reel, you need to try it. Better casting, better line management, better sensitivity and no stretch line mono.

On flouro compared to mono, I don't think the visibility of the line makes one bit of difference on the TN river with our 2-3 foot of water visibility. With that said, I hate mono. Flouro once you learn to spool it correctly is so much more functional. Its more sensitive and it doesn't have that stretch/spongey feeling when you get a hook. Only time I use mono is for topwater because the line doesnt sink line flouro but I often throw braid to mono leader for that. Flouro can get brittle on you and you need to retie every now and then but the advantages to me far out weigh the cons imo. Some people swear by mono though.

If you dont spool flouro correctly, it can be a royal pain in the butt. The line will twist and weaken it.
