I use flouro.I have this little river by my house where I was given a lesson.The lesson was if u did not have 30 flouro u where not getting bit, plain an simple.
Say what u want.I also fish a lot of sticky area's an have landed fish with my line looking like it had gone thru a cheese grater..
There's no doubt in my mind that if i fished with a similar # test mono line leader i would not have landed the fish..
I use it for everthing.up to 80 lb test.Cept' for pencils i use 100 lb Big Game. Cabela's usta sell 100 yd spools for 28 dollars but i don't see em anymore.While i was in the catalog though i did order a snorkel
I don't understand the eletist attitude of beating down of todays catalog angler.I have seen todays angler they are bullet proof.usta be u had to have balls of stone to stand in the surfline for a tide in 45 degree water while u waders leaked.If someone wants the best gear what difference does it make.I'm happy I don't have to fish in canvas or rubber waders with the plastic bags around my feet anymore.
Cause ur waders always leaked..
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& Why don't u go thru ur list of catalog favorites.
Lets see if i can help, if I remember correctly.
400 dollar Simms waders............Check
Some kinda shoe with korkers 200$
225 dollar simms dry top w/ eel slime...Check
300 dollar Gloomis rod................Check
250 dollar Shimano Calcutta reel..Check.
3 dollar plastic eel pail..
Boy it don't look like linen line an calcutta rod with a penn 155 now does it..
It's looks like the best available. Pretty much can't blame u for using the best.
Why get on someone else..
Further more no one ever accused u of being a product cheerleader..If someone like me wants to help a friend sell a product that I know works well where is the crime in that..

Does the practice go on to new levels on the internet??
Sure it does..It's like any lesson in life.It's ultimately up to the individual
to make there own choice's..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
