Flouro question.
Simple question: Mono backing with flouro, yes or no?

To answer your question with a simple answer..........No. I use flourocarbon for almost everything I do, with the exception of topwater for which I use mono and then there are a few situations where I use braid. I have never used mono backing for flouro and I have never heard of anyone else using it either. Don't really see what it would hurt though. The only time I use backing is with braid so it won't slip on the spool when I set the hook and flourocarbon doesn't do this so I really don't see a need for backing either. Sorry for taking a simple answer and complicating it lol.

I use backing - cheaper than spooling with all f/c. You certainly don't have to, but I changed mine every month or so due to the memory factor, so I'm getting more milage out of a spool of f/c by using about half a spool of mono under it. I gave f/c a good try this year, used it on most of my casting reels - but next season I'm going back to my Yo-Zuri hybrid.

Yep. I use Berkley Big Game as backing and fill the rest with fluoro 75-100 yards per reel.

I think I will do a third of mono then the rest FC. Just to save a little money.

John, thought I'd give a tip I simply fill the reel spool with mono then cast out with a 1/2-3/4 oz jig a good distance then strip another 10-15 yds from the spool then clip it.
