Fluorocarbon lines

KalimanMX · 07-14-05, 03:18 PM

Based on your own experience wich brand of Fluorocarbon line is the best?

And one more question... Have any of you ever tried Sufix lines?

Thanks.

I like Xps fluorocarbon the best, it's real strong and has good abrasion resistance. I've never tried Sufix line I've thought about it, so I'll like to see what everyone says about it.

well i personally dont like vanish. the memory was horrible and it was like i could get the kinks out of it. i love the suffix siege line. it casts great and the memory is real low almost zero. i recomend it.

Does stren sell a fluorocarbon?

I just recently started using Seguar Carbon Pro-so far I have been impressed. I liked Vanish, too, but I treated the line with KVD Line and Lure, a new line dressing that is a lot better than Reel Magic IMO.

i hate all flourocarbons.i hate the way they cast.evryone i ever used backlashed way to often.cajun red cast for me.if it has to be less visible then i guess i just won't catch them and will have to find some blind fish.

KalimanMX · 07-14-05, 10:45 PM

hehehehehehehehe... So fluorocarbons worth the money or not? Do you think its better to get a really good mono?

I wanted the fluoro so i can increase the sesivility
Any ideas?

Rebbasser · 07-14-05, 10:49 PM

Ever thought about using braid? If you are looking for sensitivity that is the way to go. For worms, jigs, C-rig and flipping all I use is PowerPro braid.

KalimanMX · 07-14-05, 10:58 PM

I do and sometimes i use it, but i really have the idea that its somewhat visible... had happend that there is 3 persons on the boat, 2 with braid and 1 with mono and the guy with mono always hook more fish... (in clear or almost clear water)
I do like more mono :S but the sensitivity its way less than braid. So looking for more sensitivity the first think in my head whas fluoro...

Rebbasser · 07-14-05, 11:02 PM

Based on that I'd say flouro would be the way to go.You might take a look at P-Line Flouroclear. It is mono coated in florocarbon. I haven't tried it but have heard good things about it.

texbass · 07-14-05, 11:07 PM

Is briad line good with crainkbaits or is mono better in clear water.

Rebbasser · 07-14-05, 11:13 PM

I use mono for cranks-having a line that will stretch a little helps keep the fish from throwing the hook. For real clear water I use either floro or green mono unless I am fishing real heavy cover with a worm or jig. Then I still use braid.

texbass · 07-14-05, 11:15 PM

I havent tried the braid line yet. but a buddy of mine lives and dies by it on every thing he thows

Dyas · 07-16-05, 03:27 PM

Power Pro is the best braid I have ever used and will get you through anything.............................AAANNYYTTHHII NNGG

Dyas · 07-16-05, 03:27 PM

Braid is the way to go

KalimanMX · 07-16-05, 08:56 PM

What about braid with a strong (17lbs) fluoro leader?

KalimanMX · 07-16-05, 08:57 PM

Or a mono lider, that way you get the sensitivity of the braid without the visivility thing...

Dyas · 07-16-05, 10:15 PM

Yeah............. Thats what I do in clear water situations. I like Cajun Cast and Berkly Vanish for Monofilament

bassnman30 · 07-17-05, 12:18 PM

Yes, Stren does sell a flourocarbon line. May be somewhat hard to find but it's a great product. I recommend.
