| Does anyone use Flourocarbon line? Posted by Cadello If so: What brand? Advantages? Can it be used for worm fishing with small weights? How strong is it compared to mono? I want to try it. Reply Back to Top |
| Yep. Them mangroves are picky on the rigs so I can't use braid or mono. Reply Back to Top |

quote: Seaguar. The Berkley and Stren stuff I tried was crap. quote:Lower stretch and visability over mono and it sinks. quote:You use Big Game now, so anything made will be an improvement. quote:Weaker than all mono, except Big Game. Reply Back to Top |

| i use stren floracast 15lb. better feel for carolina rig and shaky head fishing compared to mono. day and night difference i assure you. Reply Back to Top |
quote:That's it! I challenge you to a fishing duel at Toledo Bend. I will use nothing but Berkeley Big Game and you can use any line you want. The thousands of fish I have caught are testimony that Big Game works. I think you got a bad batch one time. BTW I have been wearing my Teva's everyday..They are really comfortable.

| You're using mis-labled 30lb test. Reply Back to Top |
| i second Seaguar Inviz-x Reply Back to Top |
| You are calling it "line"... because of its expense, most people just use it for leader offshore. I don't know anyone who has actually spooled up a whole real with it unless you fish for green trout perhaps. I use Yo-Zuri HD Fluorocarbon (its pink) for mangroves and tuna.

| I buy BPS florocarbon. Tried several, it works fine. Reply Back to Top |

quote: I just use it for bass...seaguar is around $20 for 200yds and legit, they are the original makers of fluorocarbon...I use something like big game as filler and tie a uni and spool the rest with the seaguar, just enough so that it won't get to the knot on a long cast Reply Back to Top |
quote:I think that is what it was made for. Reply Back to Top |
| I don't even like it for that. Original Stren FTW!! Reply Back to Top |
| My main question now is: Is it as strong as mono? Stronger/Weaker? Reply Back to Top |
| I would think test is test, but Big Game shoots that theory down. Reply Back to Top |
quote: i haven't noticed a difference...i do find fluoro doesn't last as long as mono, it tends to break on the hookset if its been on the spool for awhile...i may have to try the line conditioner mentioned in the other thread, never heard of using that before Reply Back to Top |
| Cannot understand the hatred for Big Game.. I can pull my 22' boat with it when i'm hung. That felt good to type. Will try the Seaguar, but i think i tried it before and hated it. Reply Back to Top Refresh |
