Do you really think they respool their line every night?

 

They respool the reels used that day.

 

Personally I don't care for Fluorocarbon, I have found nothing it does better than monofilament except cost more.

I walk off about 30yds and stretch the heck out of InvizX and use conditioner in between fishing trips..no issues. 

This actually works ?

BUT going to braid was quite effective as well.

You use mono, so no it isn't a good idea.  You can if you use fluoro.  I completely trust it.  Caught over 30 fish on two seperate days last week, including this girl with 6# line I spooled up in 2018.  I have a 1000 yard spool of 6# line, so I'm probably gonna change them all out soon.  Just haven't had time, and I know and trust the product.  Seaguar Tatsu, literally the best there is in my book.

Man, this mono vs fluoro thing is really pervasive isn’t it. It’s like a black hole. Can hardly talk line without it sucking people in. 

And, as often happens, a first time poster doesn't respond or join in, then disappears into the ether to post nevermore. Meanwhile, we regulars spin out yet again. While I've gotten better at it, I'm still often guilty of not being able to see the signs and sniff out what will inevitably become just another circle yerk.?

This poster probably thinks we’re crazy. I, for one, know they are right about me

@J Francho I'm 70 yrs old, caught 35 double digits across 5 states. Watched this sport evolve from the 60s-20s. Been around some of the best in the game.

 

I'm good with my Big Game

Dah, who cares about 'em anyway? Their questions are simply an opening for one of our bi-daily pillow fights.

Stretching FC over stresses it, reduces the diameter weakening the line.

And that is fine…I have no intention in changing your mind.  Go through my history and you will never see me bash mono though I personally prefer fluoro.  It’s the mono users that spew the false scare tactics every time a line discussion starts.  I won’t share my catches as it’s not my style and isn’t relevant to the topic.  However, in my experience when we get to the point of a measuring contest to attempt to prove a point, we have officially jumped the shark.

We know…you post that on every line thread…yet strangely fluoro remains popular.

You're funny ?

 

The whole point of this discussion is share our experiences on a specific topic.

And yet you made certain to point out all the "Pros" & anyone good at the club level use Fluorocarbon therefore they have to be correct.

That's fine.  I'm good with fluoro.  Get it?  Yours is not the ONLY answer.  Go get a root beer float.

Mmmm…with Saranac Root Beer and Breyer’s Natural Vanilla ice cream. Can’t beat it with a stick bait!

You are funny too…reread the sentence and tell me how I bashed mono.  Just pointed out a fact…unless you suggest they don’t use fluoro.  I also stated that they use mono for specific applications and that I do as well.  I never said that made them correct…just pointing out that they obviously don’t follow the flawed thinking of the fluoro bashers on this site.  And it’s always the same approximately 5 posters.  
 

You are trying to find something in my post that isn’t there to make a point that doesn’t exist.  I don’t hate mono…you hate fluoro.  Both are fine.  Misinformation on an educational site isn’t fine and should be challenged by other responsible fishermen.  
 

Sorry to OP for hijacking the thread.  This does come up on every line discussion…usually within the first 10 posts (#3 this time).  When it does, I have a hard time not saying anything…my apologies to you.
