HookSetDon Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I've been using braid exclusively since I've started pitching n flipping jigs and t-rigs craws etc I fish in a wide array of cover. Boat docks, weed lines, pads, weed clumps, rock piles etc if a fish might be there I'm throwing at it, I've had little to no break offs using the braid but I wonder if I'm missing any strikes because of the high visibility line.. I won't punch mats without braid , what other pieces of cover would flouro be a bad idea for? Thanks, Don Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 20, 2011 Super User Posted July 20, 2011 Braid for everywhere except rocks. Even then it's still braid with a fluorocarbon leader. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Flippin' and pitchin' you're mostly looking for a reaction bite. In rocks and zebra mussles, add a leader as suggested. Quote
HookSetDon Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 why is it that most of the pros on tour swear by 100% fluro unless punching mats or fishing in extreme cover? im not doubting your advice im just curious Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Floro transmits vibrations on a slack line whereas braid does not, meaning you can feel a fish hit a bait on the fall with floro whereas you cant with braid if there is slack to allow the bait to sink vertically. I prefer straight floro for flipping and pitching, with the exception of punching. 20lb Invizx to be exact. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted July 20, 2011 Super User Posted July 20, 2011 I prefer fluoro for everything except the nastiest of nasty. I pitch almost everything on 20lb Tatsu. It's a preference thing. Quote
