It does take some getting used to. I don't go any smaller because I ain't got time to be using a net. I gotta boat flip them and get back out there!

From what I read, the Red Label Fluoro is smaller diameter than other fluoro and mono. It is my favorite fluoro and all I use. Just like Ruger, I use 6 lb red label where I used to use 4 lb mono.

I have switched a big part of my spinning rods though to braid and a fluoro leader tied with and FG knot which is really nice in my opinion. I even have it on my crappie rods at the moment.
 
I use fluorocarbon exclusively for trout. I've now fished with several guide outfits out on the White River for trophy brown trout. 100% of them use fluorocarbon leaders. The only thing that's different is that some use braid as the main line and some use mono...they all use fluoro leaders. That's all I'm saying about it...I'm not going down that road here again!! That's a whole can of worms.
 
I get warm water out of the sink let the line soak in that about 15 minutes. Dump out the warm water add new and then spool my reals. It helps enough for me to go through the whole process. Keeps the loops from forming when you put on new line.
 
mr crappie high vis 4 lb has the least memory i have ever seen. its soft as silk. i just ordered 2 - 2000 yard rolls for a whopping- 2.00 per roll!!! on closeout

been doing mine as well, still have a half dozen or so to clean and reline. hi vis superlines (gliss, nanobraid) with flourocoated mono/straight mono leader. dock shooting rods are straight mono.

bluegill, trout and crappie have no problem seeing flourocarbon even in the best conditions. the big thing about flouro and spooky fish is that it doesnt cast a shadow like mono, its very clear in open water (trolling) and against white sand. all other situations and backgrounds its as visible as mono. flouro is not as abrasion resistant as mono so very important for shellbed fishermen.

davy wotton explains it very well for trout:

 
Been reading up on it since rugers thread. Opinions are all over the place. Its definitely a love/hate with all of them. Seems bass fishermen are the pickiest. I think i will stick with mono till i run out then maybe try something else- but it wont be braid!

yeah you really gotta have your casting stroke down pat with superlines else youll have those $5 wind knots.

Interesting. I personally love braid.

with braid youll spend more time more time cussing and cutting out wind knots than fishing.

mono is more limp once i prestretch it and with an fast- extra fast rod its perfect for me to shoot or skip all the way back. there are a lot of cables and big jagged rocks under these docks and mono is better against abrasion than flouro and with hi vis i can watch my line.

Thats what everyone said. Mono makes me cuss enough lol
 
All this conversation about line has me thinking. I'm using 6lb slime line super stretch on my 16ft rod. I'm new to livescope. Probably have less than 30 hours on it. I'm watching fish swim up to my bait on the screen, but I don't ever feel them bite so I don't set the hook. Could it be that they are biting and I'm not feeling it because of my super stretch line or is this pretty normal when watching fish on livescope?

That describes crappie to a T.

In fact, I purposely dont watch the screen once i know where they are. If im watching,they aint gonna bite anyway
 
8lb power pro super slick in moonshine color with a 6lb vanish floro leader is by far my favorite setup I have ever used for crappie. I have switched to all braid with leaders on all my rods

A lot of pros say they set the hook 100% off the screen. Doesn't work for me. I have to feel the thump, wait a split second, then set the hook. Any other way I miss the fish. I use Suffix Elite mono, a 10 inch Seaguar InvisX flouro leader and tungsten weights.
