Preytorien Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I've been using this year to really experiment with different techniques and methods. One I've tried with success was to use fluoro (instead of straight braid) on a spinning reel for ultra-finesse applications. I had tried Sniper prior and had terrible results, even with KVD L&L, so I went with Tatsu and everything has been excellent since. So when I decided to try fluoro on one of my casting rigs I didn't skimp and went straight to Tatsu, applied L&L, and so far it's doing incredible. I wondered though, I still get the feeling that there's more line memory than I'm used to obviously with braid, and while that's a problem on spinning reels, how concerned do I need to be with it on a casting reel? Will it cause line lay issues or parts that aren't laying tightly? Am I making a problem out of something I shouldn't? 1 Quote
Super User NHBull Posted September 3, 2019 Super User Posted September 3, 2019 I too went from a lot of braid on BC to some Tatsu in ints place. I think training your thumb is the biggest issue. To get use to it, I turned on 1 more break and threw heavier baits to start. In a short time I went back to my original settings, but it helped the transition. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 3, 2019 Super User Posted September 3, 2019 Without a little memory on either, you're going to have bigger issues. The big advantage I see with Tasu/L&L is I don't get the tight coils like I do with lines CXX, Trilene XL/XT, or Big Game, if the reel sits unused for a few weeks. Of course, if you get the line wet, and stretch it on a couple nice fish, problem goes away. Quote
