FishSmith,

I would not bother making cod rigs out of Floro. I use 60 - 80 pound mono. For either 2 hook clam rigs or 1 teaser and a jig. True only 3 or 4 feet is needed but the price will make you gag.

IMO I haven't seen too much improvement with floro bass fishing. I think it is less abrasion resistant than mono, though they advertise it as being resistant?, When bass fishing and hooking up on blues floro seems to part way sooner than mono.

There were somedays this summer that I totally outfished my freinds and I had a floro leader chunking but these freinds were newbies and couldn't set the hook on a rock.

There were also times while setting the hook on bass, who nows how big they were, my 40# floro parted. A by product of the limited stretch. Some stretch is good, sometimes I probably swing too hard but seem to break too many leaders compared to mono.

Jon
