Just an idea. Good Luck.

Well thats basically what i would be doing.I might just have differnt set ups all together.with extra spools of each also..I will never forgo using fireline all together.I has alot of good qualities.

My initial reaction was that it was simply user error

But I made the switch to Back Country last season and I love it for both spinning and conventional. Even had a rod wrapped in silver and blue to match

I like fireline but just have too many issues.

NIB you read my mind ,
I have been thinking of doing the same for the same reasons . I read the same articals but have been alittle concerned about the difference in casting distance . What I have ended up doing is puting Yo-Zuri 12lbs on my Abu 6500c3 and Yo-Zuri 15lbs on my Abu 6500CL Big Game . I like you just feel that haveing alittle strech in the line is a good thing .
Still alittle worried about the distance thing some say they get more distance with Mono others say the opposit.

The Sufix I mentioned isn't No-Stretch like braid. Just lower stretch than many other brands. Seems to be a good compromise to me.

12 or 15 lb is not really an option.niether is distance. for me anyways.Needles will go plenty far an where i use the bomebers u don't really have to cast em that far.But i would be petrified to fish with anything under 17 an feel 20 would be at my comfort level
