All really good info... Thanks for the tips

Is there any reason not to just use 50lb mono instead of flouro?

Yes, the mono costs less than the flouro.....It's all about appearance,,,,what would the neighbors think if they knew you were taking the cheap way out even if they both do basically the same job


P.S. Use whatever your most confident in. If you think for whatever reason, that flouro is better....use it. Breaking strength should be breaking strength, each individual spool is going to differ slightly as far as the actual breaking strength, not all are created equal....as far as flouro not getting knicked as easily....

Can you guess what I use ?

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

To attach a plug to my leader, I use a loop knot.
I won't change.

Be encouraging, not discouraging
