BigGame0892 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I think you might be surprised how much difference #4 makes on spinning tackle. Rather than using a true #4 fluorocarbon, try Yo-Zuri Hybrid, green for gin clear water. I like purple smoke on the Tennessee River which seems to blend perfectly in stained water. #4 Yo-Zuri Hybrid has a breaking strength of 8.5 lbs. Roadwarrior: I finally followed through and tried some #4 lb. Yozuri in green for some trout fishing down on Lake Taneycomo in Missouri this year - had seen a post of yours about it a long time ago. Worked great, except for the fact that it was impossible to break at times when we were drifting along!! Have consistently used 10, 12 and 15 lb. Yozuri for the last 4 years on every type of bass bait out there except topwater, and it has always proven that it can be counted on. As for pure Fluoro, I usually turn to P-Line or Seaguar for cranking, jig-fishing or shaky head when I think its needed or when I can afford it!! Quote
The Next KVD Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 im gonna give floro a go this year on my crankbait rod any suggestions on brand im thinking berkley 100% floro or xps in 10lb I personally like P-Line 100% Fluorocarbon, but of the two you list I would go with the XPS. Hear ALOT of good things about it due to Toray being the manufacturer of it. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Cool. I didn't see that one. Might have to try it. Just had some added to the extra spool on my spinning reel while its on sale for $13 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 10, 2012 Super User Posted March 10, 2012 Trilene 100% is good line, it's what I used for main line when Iused fluoro as a main line, but it was terrible on spinning gear. I still use it as leader material. I actually liked Vanish better on spinning reels. I know most people hate it, but I never had any problem with it. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 10, 2012 Super User Posted March 10, 2012 Last time out last year I tried fluorocabon line for the first time. Spiderwire Ultracast 100% Fluorocarbon because it was the least expensive line they had at Dick's Sporting Goods. 10 lb. to be exact. Spooled on a Fuego and mounted on my 7'2" Cumara MH-F. Didn't catch a fish with it, but was satisfied with its out-of-the-box casting. Especially since I have read that fluorocabons can have a tendency to backlash. Quote
