if flouro is close to invisible why do we color it green?wouldn't that make it easier to see in clear water?i personally would stick to clear flouro.

agree totally.love red cast hate red lightning.

musky,pike,pickeral

i think that's the one that smacked my friend. ;D

that's where they break.it's the stress point.muddy,if you hold your spinning rod and grab the reel body and twist it will move.as far as spinning reels goes if you are fishing light line with a light drag you'll never notice it.it's when you start using heavier line or braid and tighten down the drag that issues start to happen.i have a friend who used to fish frogs on 30 lb braid on spinning equipment because he hates baitcasters.after breaking numerous reels he went to all aluminum frames and the problems stopped.he has finally added baitcasters to his line up.

i agree with raul %100!!!i've had graphite spinning reel necks break and my buddy has had baitcaster reel feet break and got smacked and cut across his face by the reel flying off.i will never buy a reel with a graphite frame again.they are not made as good as rods are.i've never seen aluminum or magnesium break.graphite also flexs causing bearing and gear misalignment.

i have never had a palomar knot failure on any line except berkley vanish.i think any knot would fail with vanish.i will keep using my palomar until i die.

cajun red cast.

PUT AWAY BOTH THOSE LINES AND GET SEGUAR INVIZX.

flouro carbon does stretch.it stretches when it reaches it's pound test limit.from what i have read it only happens once.i suggest seguar invizx.

congratulations.like i've said before they are as good as any rod out there.

Irrelevant, if you cast with your right hand and reel with your left using a spinning reel, why would you not do the same thing with a baitcaster :-?? Myself, I cast with my right hand and retrieve with my left for both baitcasters and spinning. Just curious. Maybe I'm weird ;D. because when i started fishing spinning reels all had the handle on the left and baitcaster had it on the right.the spinning reel handle is larger and sits under the rod and the baitcaster handle is smaller and sits over the rod.the end result is when i try to reel a left handed baitcaster it feels totally uncordinated.switching hands is easy and you don't even think about it.

when fishing cranks with a fast retrieve reel all you have to do is use the rod to move the bait and reel the slack line in with the reel.

all of those generalizations are based on using the same rod.of course you can compensate and use a softer rod and less drag with braid.

ROFLMAO!!!sometimes i wish that we only had stren mono to chosse from like when i was a kid!!!actually i couldn't even put that stuff on my reels now but it sure was simple then.

i have read about that also.upon furthur reaserch i found that flouro stretches at it's upper limit of it's pound test rating and once it streches it does not go back to it's same length.once this happens it does not seem to hurt the line.

mono is strechier than flouro and helps keep fish from tearing treble hooks loose.you can fish flouro with cranks but a lot of guys prefer mono.i personally have not completely made up my mind.

flouro is not invisible.no line is.it is less visible.flouro is not only for finesse.it's good for flipping also.flouro is the most abrasion resistant line.i suggest seguar invizx.it's the flouro haters flouro. mono is a good all round line.greaat with cranks and spinnerbaits and topwaters. braid is good in heavy grass.i suggest sufix braid.

when i shore fish with bushes and trees i use a 5-6 pistol grip.if i'm at a pond with no bushes or trees i'll use longer rods.

imho the palomar is the quickest most reliable knot around..

red turns grey as it sinks.this makes it blend into the water because most water is not gin clear..green is great in green water.clear mono is exactly what it says.the problem is some clear mono is shiney and reflects light back.if i'm reading you right maybe you should try some seguar invizx clear flouro.

i have 2 that i love.
