nwibass Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Is there any momo or copoly out there without any stretch and high sensitivty line floro? I have been looking.. i think sufix has a mono with relativley low stretch but im not sure. So let me know please, thanks.. im not looking for any "crystal" lines either. Clear,green, or brown. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 26, 2012 Super User Posted January 26, 2012 Some Copolymers have less stretch than mono, but low stretch? That's a stretch, LOL. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 It's not true that fluoro has no stretch either. I can see the sensitivity aspect of fluoro in certain situations where you're fishing on semi-slack line though. You're going to have some stretch unless you go with braid. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted January 26, 2012 Super User Posted January 26, 2012 some coploys have more stretch than some mono, and some monos have more stretch than some coploys ditto flouro vs mono ditto flouro vs copoly You have to ignore the propaganda, uh, I mean marketing, and go with experience. Eventually you'll come to find out that it really doesn't matter. 1 Quote
nwibass Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 That's what i was thinking . thanks guys i will just have to stick with spending tons of $ on floro lol. Quote
nwibass Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 I do know Sufix elite has lower stretch than most monos i have felt. You guys dont even know any monos that have "lower" than usual stretch, or good sensitivitie it and hooksetting power? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 26, 2012 Super User Posted January 26, 2012 I use Elite for trout fishing, 10 and 12#, and P-Line CXX has much less stretch than Elite. Quote

Super User Raul Posted January 26, 2012 Super User Posted January 26, 2012 Mono Or Copolymer With No Stretch? Such thing does not exist Mono lines ( nylon, fusioned and fluoro ) are stretchy, some more, some less, but they all stretch; the only no stretch line there is today is braided. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 26, 2012 Super User Posted January 26, 2012 Braided line stretches a little also due to the weave. A fused superline is the only one that doesn't stretch--Fireline is one of them. Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 27, 2012 Super User Posted January 27, 2012 Certainly haven't tested them all, but of the ones (mono/copolys) I have tested, Berkley Sensation has always had the least amount of stretch. Next closest was Trilene XT. In both cases though, neither will have the sensitivity of fluoro because it's not stretch, but primarily density that accounts for fluoros better sensitivity. -T9 Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 27, 2012 Super User Posted January 27, 2012 You have to ignore the propaganda, uh, I mean marketing, and go with experience. Eventually you'll come to find out that it really doesn't matter. Free advice is worth what you pay for it..........nothing! When it comes to line, rods, reels, lures and whatever, experimentation is the best teacher, eventually you'll find what suits you best. You will make lots of mistakes, I still do. There is no magic bullet, except the a-rig, lol. If it were me, my focus would be on catching fish, the rest will take care of itself. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted January 27, 2012 Super User Posted January 27, 2012 SirSnook and .ghoti. are right. While I still ask for recommendations and trust the opinions of many on this site, it comes down to what works best for you. I love CXX and use it on most of my reels-spinning and baitcast. It offers good strength, sensitivity, and abrasion resistance IMO. Some find it has too much memory and hate it. I am going to try Seaguar fluorocarbon line this year based on recommendations by Hooligan and others. It is a good starting spot based on trusted opinion...time will tell if it works for me. Quote
