Default Finesse spinning line

I know alot of people use flourocarbon on spinning reels , I have one spinning reel , and I only have it for wacky worming , drop shotting and split shotting. I dont want to use flouro due to the many complaints ive heard about it slinking off. So , what else would be good for this use ? Last year I used Pline mono , and caught fish just fine ( mist green ) but I didnt drop shot last year. Thanks.

I only have two spinning rods, and they were used for finesse baits, shaky heads and some light t-rigging, and dropshotting... I used 8lb. Yo-Zuri Hybrid, or 8lb. Sufix Elite... worked great for me!

Not all FC lines are equal. Some are more limp and manageable than others like seaguar's invizx.

Also, this line slinking off is practically a non issue with lighter lines such as 6-8# test with Invizx. As one who drop shots with this line 100% (6#), I am telling you upfront line slinking off is NOT an issue with Invizx.

Do you have a Shimano spinning reel? If so, you can actually change the configuration of how the reel lays line onto the spool. This can really help in reducing line slinking off if it is an issue.

I am willing to bet that if and when you switch to 6-8# (use 6# if you can get away with it) FC line, you will notice an increase in strikes and hook ups for these finesee applications. I did and I didn't think that I would have. Don't cheat yourself. Got a limp and manageable FC line like Invizx and be done with it. If you like the traits of mono, then you will love Invizx. It is similar IMHO to mono.

Seaguar's fluoro is the best I've tried so far. Carbon Pro or InvisX. I've also seen they have a new one, Red Label Fluoro, it'll probably be a bit stiffer, but it a lot cheaper than other fluoros. Check out Seaguars website for comparison chart of all their fluoro lines. You see see how than rank against each other in limpness, knot strength, tensile strength, etc.

I have 3 finesse spinning setups in my arsenal. All are spooled with 10 lb braid. Then a Albright knot to a leader or a drop shot rig of 8 or 10 lb mono. I don't like leader flouro line. Line twists are a no issue. Line watching is a snap, and the fish just don't care.

I like Invizix and Halo both about the same in 6 or 8# test. It is stronger than you think, especially when you have to break it off because you are hung up and using a noodly rod. I don't "think" I lost a fish last year on 6# on my drop shot rod.
