17lb P-Line Tactical for my spinners and chatters. The absolute best fluorocarbon line I’ve come across. Darn bear bulletproof in the abrasion resistance department!

I feel the same way about P Line's Ultimate Flurocarbon in 15lb......absolutely amazing in terms of abrasion resistance.    Extraordinarily tough line.    I'll have to try the Tactical....I like the name lol

If boring is catching fish all week without retying, then yes, boring...

Fishing all week with anything without re-tying any line is a terrible idea.

I guess this is a little freshwater fish I caught on 12 pound mono.

I bet you wouldn't have caught that fish if you didn't retie for a weeks worth of fishing.

I throw my chatterbaits on a Daiwa DX Type-H 7'3" Heavy Moderate with a Daiwa Tatula CT spooled up with 16# Sunline Sniper.  It's a pleasure to fish and the setup cost me under 200 bones two Christmases ago.  I'd go with the lowest diameter, highest breaking strength fluorocarbon you can afford.

My setup is a duckett silverado 7’3” MH and a Shimano SLX 6.3 ratio

What brand of flourocarbon would you reccomend? I’ve decided on 12-15 lb flouro.

My go to fluoro is Sunline Sniper, it's a high quality line at a reasonable price. Seaguar Tatsu is awesome but pricey.

All the stuff made in Japan I've tried is great, but on the reels I'm trying to catch a DD on I use P line's Ultimate Fluorocarbon in 15lb.    Exceptional abrasion resistant and strong.   Still got enough stretch, but I think this bait excels best with a rod made for it that should have the forgiveness in that aspect verses the line part of the equation.

 

I spooled Seguer red label 12lb on a Steez BFS reel earlier, and fished it this afternoon.   High quality stuff as well.   

 

I've just come to trust the P Line with regards to pulling big fish from laydowns.

I’ve heard good things on the p-line ultimate. The Rod I have has a good amount of tip, but gets to the backbone relatively quickly

I have heard this one is many peoples go to for moving bait flouro. I’m sure it’s great for bottom contact as well

[Mike L]

Sunline Sniper for all moving baits except frogs and on top.

What’s the problem?

Sniper or any other quality flouro is a great choice.

Sniper is a high quality fluoro that is good for moving baits or bottom contact.
