Considering trying flouro

[Boomstick]

I have been using flurocarbon for a couple of years now. Every spring, Bass Pro runs a buy one get one free on Berkley Trilene Flurocarbon, and it's been a solid line for me.

For jigs and t-rigs I would use either 15lb or 17lb line. If you are fishing lighter wire jigs, 15lb is fine, but for the larger hooks, 17lb works quite well in most conditions. When I'm throwing in thick weeds, I will use braided line.

If you are used to braid FC handles way differently. I know a lot of bass anglers love it but in my experience it tends to jump off the spool on some casts. I’ve tried all the premium lines and all of them do this to some extent. It’s better than braid at detecting bites on semi slack line and keeping some baits deeper in the column. 

 

Line size I will say 12lb is fine for black bass. For heavy cover I suggest braid.

It isn`t bad, but it has too much stretch for me. 

Generally I use flourocarbon for Texas rigs, weightless flukes and jigs.

I seem to get better hooksets with sunline. It also feels more sensitive to me.

my 2 cents

 

i’ve been using fc for about seven years now. hook set break offs can be an issue for some of us (myself included). pay special attention when tying your knots with fc line. there is some great advice on here. give it some consideration.
