Newtosmallieguy Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Anybody had trouble with this jumping off your spinning reel? Using 10lb. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 24, 2016 Global Moderator Posted September 24, 2016 10lb fluoro is going to be a problem on a spinning reel regardless of brand. I'd suggest scaling down to 8lb and see if that helps, or better yet, going to a braid main line with a fluoro leader. 7 Quote

Dan_the_fisher Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Used it, was a problem for me. I know have 832 20# with 8# Invizix leader Quote
Stingray23 Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 I have used 10lb invizx before on a spinning reel with zero issues, but I prefer 8lb. Quote
timsford Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 If you want to use fluorocarbon on spinning reels, I suggest trying tatsu. It's expensive, but it's definitely the best handling fluorocarbon I've tried. I'd still probably step down to 8 or 6 lb test though, depending on the size of your reel. Larger reels like 3000 or 2500 size will manage the line a lot better than the smaller 1500 and 2000 sizes in my experience. Quote
Robert Riley Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 I generally use 8lb as a leader as most have said. I've also had a little bit of a problem with it alone, not as bad as bad as others though. Quote
BobP Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 I'd also go with 6 or 8 lb test on a 2000 or 2500 size reel. Two things helped me when just starting with fluoro. First, under fill the spool by 1/8" or so compared to what you would with mono. That helps a bunch. Second, after casting, close the bail with your hand, not by rotating the handle, and give the line a little tug after you do. Those 2 things eliminated 99% of the problems I had when I switched to fluoro. They become automatic after a few times. I've fished braid with a fluoro leader and it does make things easier, but I really prefer presenting lures on an all-fluoro line since I fish very clear water most often. Quote
Mark888 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Try having a braid backing to an invest leader - should fix the problem and give you some more sensitivity Quote
reerok Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 I've been using InvisX 6lb on a Stradic FK 2500 the last few months and haven't had any trouble. I fish my drop shot more horizontally so I'm casting a good bit and it's performed well. That said, the braid to flouro is tempting but as of now I have 100% flouro. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted October 3, 2016 Super User Posted October 3, 2016 Already said ... FWIW I use 15lb braid with anywhere between a 6 - 10 FC leader depending on what I am doing. Never going back to straight FC. Quote
