set_the_hook Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I was just wondering if slot of people still use mono over fluorocarbon. I know all the properties of fluoro,i was just seeing who still Prefers mono. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted January 15, 2011 Super User Posted January 15, 2011 I use both, but to be honest, the only reason I am using fluoro is occasionally I find some on sale. I'll buy, yes I like it, but I still catch fish using mono, and I simply refuse to pay an exorbitant price for fishing line, ANY KIND. There are $15. to $20. crankbaits. Never bought one, never will. Simply not necessary. Not as long as there is a BPS. Quote
flippincrazy Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I use both, but still use a lot of mono. I use it on almost all crankin, some topwater, spiltshot and some spinnerbait/buzzbait fishing. Quote
jdw174 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I used nothing but co-poly for years. This past year, I added braid to my three spinning outfits but still use the co-poly for leader. Yesterday I was overcome with insanity and paid $21 for a 200yd spool of Seguar InvisX 20lb that will be used on my pitching outfit. Whether or not it will stay on there remains to be seen. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 15, 2011 Super User Posted January 15, 2011 I use co-poly only. No need for flouro Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted January 15, 2011 Super User Posted January 15, 2011 I gave up on fluro, to many fish broke off. I'll stick to my tried and true Yozuri Ultrasoft copoly.. 8-) Quote
Bassohol Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I've all but given up on fluorocarbon as well. I still have it on one setup that I throw a Texas rig with, but that is because that is the only reel and setup that I've yet to have a problem with. I use Yo-Zuri Hybrid and P-Line Floroclear on everything else besides my heavy pitching setup which I use braid on. I just found FC to have too much memory, nick too easily, and be too stiff to cast like other lines. I just didn't feel that all those little nuisances were worth the minimal increase in sensitivity and decrease in visibility. Plus, the copolymer lines are more versatile in my opinion. Quote
