I am going with flouro this year.

No need for the Flouro at night, Sure, OK for daytime but totally unneeded at night...

My goto was/is a Calcutta 400 or 6500ME with at least 20# BG Green and more recently 50 power pro on a 1088 Batson or befier 1088 All Star when needed... Tried fishing spinning for eels last week - did not feel good at all...
