Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted June 26, 2014 Super User Posted June 26, 2014 What fluoro do you use? I'm surprised some of you guys don't use L&L... Maybe y'all can deal with the line Turning into a phone cord and curling up all the time haha Sunline FC Sniper 10 & 12# no conditioner on 50 size shimano reels. Quote
ColdSVT Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I'm surprised some of you guys don't use L&L... Maybe y'all can deal with the line Turning into a phone cord and curling up all the time haha Seaguar invisx and tatsu. I used to use redlabel and pline as well and never had any issues. Now if i let the reel sit for months on end ill get some curles in the line but even then i just fish em until the go away...usually only takes ahandful of casts and all is well again Quote
Super User FishTank Posted June 26, 2014 Super User Posted June 26, 2014 I have been using Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon. I bought some big spools years ago and it is still fantastic. I use 12 lb on baitcasters and 6lb on spinning tackle. It is a good balanced line. It has good sensitivity but not great. It has a little stretch but not a lot. Great knot strength (just wet the knot before hand). Casting is fantastic. This line also tends to last longer than most. Memory is average but it can be greatly improved with KVD line conditioner. One other FC I would recommend is Seaguar Invisx. Great line but it is stretchy and does not last as long. It seems to work better, for me, on my heavy rods rather on my medium and med heavy rods when it comes to setting the hook. I have never been a big fan of braid. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted June 26, 2014 Super User Posted June 26, 2014 Im starting to think im the only one that doesnt use line conditioner with my flouro lol I don't either. Fluorocarbon is non-pourus, so it doesn't absorb any liquids. If it makes people more confident, that's great. I've tested it on several lines against the same line without, and have seen no benefits. If you use good line, memory is not an issue. Quote
BadBassWV Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 If flourocarbon doesn't absorb liquids, What good is line conditioner? Braid For Everything!! All Day Every Day. Quote

Q: How is Line & Lure different from other line treatments? A: Line & Lure was developed strictly as a fishing line conditioner. Line & Lure is a special polymer blend that becomes part of the fishing line it is applied to. Other line treatments you find on the market are primarily silicone oil and solvents. Silicone oil only temporarily coats the line and solvents can damage line. Silicone oil rapidly comes off the line (on your hands and in the water), requiring re-treatment of the line after just a few casts. Q: How does Line & Lure work if it is not oily? A: The special polymers in Line & Lure are hydrophobic (water repelling) and very slippery. Line & Lure doesn't allow water to draw back on to the reel spool, which eliminates the line drag that a "wet" spool has. Line & Lure also protects the line from wearing out as quickly as un-treated line because it resists the abrasion that wears line out. Quote
MichaelJ7 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Flourocarbon for 99% of uses. I fish crystal clear lakes and love the feel. I hate braid Quote
