I tried Red Label and didn't care for it, but my son loves it. I use Seaguar InvisX, and my son doesn't like it.
Yep plus I use a 9' or 9 1/2' rod when I use this setup.JRC1,
Dang I hope I'm not hijacking Rugers post here but, I feel he and I are in agreement on flourocarbon.
I feel and have been told that flourocarbon is a lot more invisible under water to the fish. That's why in my opinion they bite baits better than mono. Also flourocarbon is "heavier" and sinks better. Thats why Ruger can use 6lb on such small jig weights and they still get down.
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!Seems something that light would be hard to cast any distance on 6-lb line.
In times past, I have typically gone down to 2-lb test Trilene Xtra Limp to cast something that small. Actually, have always thought 1/32 oz worked best with 2-lb line until the 4-lb flouro came out.
I haven't done much bream fishing the past many years, but will probably start doing more ongoing.
When I did a lot, it was usually 1/32 oz for bream, 1/16 oz for crappie.
And 2 lb Trilene.
Get you a magnifying glass you can wear (like glasses or over your glasses).My old eyes & hands that don't do fine motor skills like they use to, has me seriously considering going back to mono. Dang floro is so small, limp & hard to see that it takes me forever to tie it to braid no matter what knot I use. I do love braid on spinning reels though.
I may have to try it. Why would u need to "condition" itJRC1,

Supposed to take the memory out of it.I may have to try it. Why would u need to "condition" it
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.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!
yeah you really gotta have your casting stroke down pat with superlines else youll have those $5 wind knots.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!
Reason(s)?. . . . . . dock shooting rods are straight mono.
Interesting. I personally love braid.. . . . . maybe try something else- but it wont be braid!
