I'm not picky when it comes to flouro for moving baits. Sniper ,  Invisx  or if you want to save a few bucks, Assassin.

Ones not going to catch any more fish than the other and they all handle well.

Ok , you fish with one set up for 7 days with one knot and mono tell me how it goes.

Still too many variables here, if he catches 2 fish a day or 10 fish a day will make a HUGE difference. But hey shoot, we all have our own margin of risk we're okay operating within.

 

I'm exploring chatterbait set ups myself, presently 6'8 MH Moderate Fitszgerald Versa 12# Yo-zuri hybrid (also using it for jerkbaits) and a 7'2 MH MF St. Croix Victory playing with 40# braid and 15# red lable.

Variables yes, but not so much the number or size of fish (bass) caught. I use mostly BG and Ande mono, but there are several others that perform similarly. Being salt water lines, knot strength and shock resistance (stretch characteristics) are both high, which means that unless the line is compromised, a 2-10 lb fish isn't going to be able to stress it enough to significantly weaken the knot. Now if it gets scuffed from cover or otherwise, or if I straighten out a hook or bring back a big portion of a tree after getting stuck, and I get the "oh, this one might not come back" feeling just before it does, then yeah, that's retie time. I find 12 lb the cutoff (pun intended), anything lighter and I start to maybe think about knots, I use  uni and palomar mostly. 

More importantly, went into Fan Duel, and couldn't see the odds or how to collect Waymont's $... :)

a) I don't make up the rules, the Universe does, we just have a really good relationship...

b) I can, and I do...

 

Are we doing this?

COP OUT! ?

Adding qualifiers after your statement doesn't look good for a smart aleck.

I wouldn’t trust you as far as could throw you. You’d change the agreement as you see fit. Your style.
