wvhunt Posted Thursday at 08:33 PM Posted Thursday at 08:33 PM I used mono only for years. Everything from 2lb for trout up to 30lb for catfish. I didn't know I "needed" anything else till the internet came around 2 Quote
Super User WRB Posted Thursday at 08:54 PM Super User Posted Thursday at 08:54 PM Most bass anglers are looking for a panacea fishing line that to date doesn’t exist. Braid was the choice for bass anglers in the 50’s, Monofilament Nylon line came out in the 60’s and became very popular with bass anglers. Copolymer blends came out in the mid 70’s still called Mono line but offered better abrasion resistance then most Nylon mono of that era. Fluorocarbon and super braids came out on the 90’s and became popular with bass anglers to this day. Nylon monofilament has the reputation that it stretches, Fluorocarbon line earned the reputation of poor knot strength and braid being poor abrasion resistance. Nylon monofilament line does everything needed in a bass fishing line so take your pick, Tom 2 Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted Friday at 04:22 PM Super User Posted Friday at 04:22 PM This isn’t your grampa’s mono anymore. Mono technology has come a long way. Sunline Super Natural or Big Game are always in play, especially for moving baits. I hate auto spell! 2 Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted 22 hours ago Super User Posted 22 hours ago All my baitcasters are spooled with mono or hybrid, except for my frog rig. All my spinning reels are braid-to-leader. I’ll never spool a spinning reel with straight mono again. Quote
jbrew73 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago My best comparison of nylon mono vs flouro is with the Carolina rig Good nylon mono on a Carolina rig feels like you are dragging a dish towel on your hook. Good flouro lets you feel the bottom and what your lure is doing so much better. If you can’t feel the difference please continue to use nylon mono. Quote
Super User Bird Posted 8 hours ago Super User Posted 8 hours ago My love letter to mono,❓ Sorry honey but I'm filling for divorce. My new girlfriend has been braid / braid to flouro and it's been harmony. Quote
Super User WRB Posted 7 hours ago Super User Posted 7 hours ago Let me know when any of you braid or FC line users catch one bass the size of my 5 PB’s listed caught on Mono line using jigs. Tom Quote
