Super User rippin-lips Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 What do you prefer for weightless senkos and why if you'd like to include that also. I use fluoro for it's slack line sensitivity and it's invisibility in clear water. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 I like fluoro for the slack line sensitivity as well. However, I often use mono with my senkos for the slightly slower sink rate. I think it gives them a little different action on the drop, as opposed to fluoro. I will usually have one rod with each tied on if I am senko fishing, so I can change back and forth if I think one way is working better or worse. Quote
CJV Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I use 12lb Sunline sx1 braid with a tip of 6lb-8lb FC. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 I like braid with a leader of fluoro or tough copoly. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted April 8, 2014 Global Moderator Posted April 8, 2014 I like Floro...don't really use mono that much anymore Mike Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 I like braid with a leader of fluoro or tough copoly. Same...........but just fluoro leader material for me. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 Been using Pline CX premium clear/blue 15pd. I know.... Fish can see it.. Too limp.. Wimpy line Just bought some Tuf-line super cast in 30 Going to spool up.... Now! Quote
RipSomeLips Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I use fire line cause it casts a mile. I always put a fluoro leader on it however. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted April 8, 2014 Super User Posted April 8, 2014 straight fluoro always. for the exact reason you said. slack line sensitivity Quote
bflp3 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Straight fluoro for sensitivity, invisibility, and a faster sink rate. Quote
fishbowl807 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I'm not a fan of fluoro had to many bad experiences with it. I'll stick with mono never had a problem with it and it's a lot cheaper. 5 Quote
frogflogger Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 90% of the time it would be mono for me - I like the slow sink rate - fluoro too fast and braid too slow - but I'll use them in different situations. Quote
rawjuice Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I dont really have a preferance, I dont finesse much but I have done both mono and fluoro. I see the advantage of both sides. Slower sink rate and possibly better action on fall with mono, but more sensitivity and less line visibilty with fluoro. Hmmmm, my finesse rod, I have a abu orra sx30 with 2 spools, one with half 20lb braid/ half 8lb fluoro, the other spool with straight 8lb mono. I will have to test out the difference this year! Quote
5dollarsplash Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Same...........but just fluoro leader material for me. I'm with ww2farmer on this one. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted April 9, 2014 Author Super User Posted April 9, 2014 So it seems the majority of us use fluoro or at least a fluoro leader attached to our main line. Quote
Hattrick7 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I was just using mono and didn't have any issues. I decided to try fluoro and I've been fishing it about three days now and all I can say is wow, the sensitivity is really that much more responsive. Definitely a big enough difference for me to start using it for all bottom bait applications for sure. It feels a little weird though almost like a really thin wire in terms of stiffness. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 I use mono and a fluoro leader, because with jigs and all plastics I am a line watcher and I like some visibility. Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted April 11, 2014 Super User Posted April 11, 2014 spinning - braid to fc, casting - fc much for the same reasons already mentioned. Quote
BassnChris Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 So it seems the majority of us use fluoro or at least a fluoro leader attached to our main line. I like braid with a leader of fluoro or tough copoly. Me too......I really like the Tuf-Line Supercast but have to order it because I am unable to find it locally..........then the fluoro leader. So it seems the majority of us use fluoro or at least a fluoro leader attached to our main line. yep. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I really like fluoro for the reason already stated but right now at this time of year I am using Seaguar Senshi Mono. The reason is because I am fishing thick grass this time of year and the Fluoro get hung into the grass, it sinks ahead of the Senko and the line is down in the grass and that really bothers me. Also I like for the Senko to fall as slow as it can and the Mono makes that happen. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted April 11, 2014 Super User Posted April 11, 2014 Fluoro for me. I use fluoro for just about everything these days. Quote
