Chef, I've gotta take a trip to Quaker Lane Wednesday and can swing down your way to pick 'em up if that works for you -
Thanks for holding them - PM me the contact info, I've got the whole day off but would like to do it in the AM if possible
Yeah, think I'm gonna try the Mirage 60 - next time I'm going by the Edge I'll pick some up |

have any of you guys that use fluoro noticed a big advantage over mono in durability? for bass i don't think line visability is an issue at all but if it is that much more durable it might be worth consideration.

I think it has better abrasion resistance. For eel rigs it wouldn't matter, one fish is unlikely to saw through a leader, and it is simple enough to change if you have to. But I fish a long shocker (@10 ft), when that gets raked I either have to retie (bimini-uni-uni) or risk it. Mono, even the leader stuff, is softer and frays more easily so it means more down time fumbling with knots, not to mention bugs, bad eyesight, bad wading, and unwanted attention from light use. I also think fluoro makes for stronger knots.....although I've never actually tested it. |

It's been a lot more abrasion resistant for me than the Big Game but the spots I fish locally are pretty bony, luds |
