I use the same set up as Ragfly. 10 foot Ben Doerr with Fireline. I don't like it for baitfishing. I much rather use monofilament for the baitfishing thing. I'm not saying Fireline WON'T work but mono's stretching properties come in handy when you want a little more time for the fish to get her death grip on your bait.
Fireline's less stretch not only allows you to feel what the fish is doing but it allows the fish to feel what YOU are doing. ProKhaos is using this long stiff meat stick. John, since I'm just a preaching wharfrat, how long do YOU think it's going to take a striper feel this big meat stick with Fireline? If ProKhaos is using the Al Bundy method, I'm thinking that fish will drop the bait before he can even get there. If he's fast and he's holding the rod and everything goes flawless, sure it's possible to hook the fish.
This is my take on the situation. This comes with FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE, I remind you.
Prokhaos, it boils down to a personal preference though. Personally, I love fireline for plugging and I praise it everytime I have the chance but for baitfishing applications, I stick to mono.
