Super User buzzed bait Posted March 18, 2016 Super User Posted March 18, 2016 it's not for everybody, nor for every presentation either. other than my jig rod, i only use it as a leader. i have straight 16# sniper on the jig rod and treat it with some KVD line conditioner and it performs pretty well!

ibobpeb Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Like everyone else has said, you may like the lighter lines. Try 12 or 14 pound FC Sniper. Quote

Airman4754 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I bought into the hype of flouro as a main line and hated it. I do like it as a leader. Now I use straight braid, braid with a flouro leader, or straight CXX and it's so much more manageable. 1 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted March 21, 2016 Super User Posted March 21, 2016 As was stated earlier, if it doesn't seem to work for you, then don't use it and instead use something you're more comfortable with. The freedom of choice is part of what is great about fishing. That said, I'll still take the seemingly unpopular position that the line (fluorocarbon) isn't the issue in most cases. It's the angler or the setup. -T9 1 Quote
WPCfishing Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I can't stand any of the FC lines. I prefer PLine CX. Quote

tander Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 14 or 16# Sunline Sniper. I can't tell much difference than using mono. Don't need no line conditioner. Quote
desmobob Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I gave a couple of straight fluorocarbon lines a try and didn't care for them. But I still use fluorocarbon every fishing day as leaders for the braided lines on most of my bait casters and about half of my spinning reels. The reels that aren't spooled with braid are spooled with a co-poly (Yo-Zuri or P-Line)). I'll try flourocarbon again at some point. Tight lines, Bob Quote
kadas Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Fluorocarbon leader with braid is the way I have gone also--so much better than straight FC in my fishing!! Quote
jignfule Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 The only FC I can use without getting excommunicated is Tatsu 1 Quote
