Super User Montanaro Posted May 19, 2015 Super User Posted May 19, 2015 Anyone use this stuff yet? Just came out late last year. I'm currently using pline cx 20 pound but have difficulty seeing it and think FC would be a little more sensitive and less stretch. Quote
WPCfishing Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Get some braid line and never worry again. I'm doing just that for pitching and flipping. I bought Sufix 832. I use CX 15 & 20 moss green.. It's extremely low stretch line. In fact I personally like it better than FC. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted May 20, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 20, 2015 Braid is good and all but my pitching rod is xfast and I've ripped the hook out of fish with that combination. Not to mention braid tends to saw into wet wood. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 21, 2015 Global Moderator Posted May 21, 2015 you try braid with a FC leader? Did you like it? I like it for other things not for flipping. Same here. Love braid with a leader on my spinning gear, hate it on casting gear. Straight braid works well for flipping grass and frogging, but try fishing straight braid with a football jig at Table Rock or through zebra mussels, no bueno. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted May 21, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 21, 2015 I have tried a leader in past and it's okay. But having a leader knot while pitching heavy cover doesn't inspire confidence. Just the other day I flipped a bass over a tree. Quote
