Floro?

[jtharris3]

I'm not much of a floro user but want to put it on one of my reels to use more often. I have a Symetre 2500 on a 7' Med action rod. Is 10# Floro overkill? I'll be using it for river fishing medium size baits for smallies and in the lake for fishing Super Flukes, etc. for LM. 

 

Traditionally I normally use 8 or 10lb. Trilene XT on these set ups.

I like 6lb Trilene 100% FC with some KVD line conditioner.

Go 6 to 8 depending on what company you go with.

It isn't overkill, but it will be a headache on a spinning reel. 6# fluoro is incredibly strong and as long as your drag is set correctly and your line/lure is matched to your rod, bearing any nicks, your line wont break fighting a fish. I'd opt for 6-8

I use 8 lb Sniper or Trilene Pro XL.  Anything over 8 lb is a bit of a hassel.

I use 8lb Invizx on my 2500 size reels, works great.

Awesome, thanks guys. I had the feeling I was headed into overkill land.

Go with Yo Zuri hybrid for spinning reels.

I use 8lb Sniper or Tatsu on all my 2500 sized spinning reels, 4lb on my 1000 size. I used 8lb Tatsu last year on my Stradic FJ during a guided catfish trip. Ended up catching some real studs and never once was scared it was going to break. It's some tough stuff.

Kind of defeats the purpose if a guy is wanting the sensitivity of fluoro.

Yo Zuri is a good mix of sensitivity and manageability on a spinning reel. Plus it's MUCH stronger than it's rated. It's just another option.

The strength-to-diameter ratio is about par for the course. 8lb Yo-Zuri is the same diameter as 12lb Sunline.

Good to know.
