The red label Seagar is a beast if you want a flouro. Get it at academy ($10) rather than BPS or a local shop ($20 at those two local). cant help on the braid b/c i use 20# seagar on my CR and jigs and havent had a problem

we just recently switched all of our reels to it and it's awesome.
i had used powerpro a couple times before and i had no issues with it but this stuff is just awesome. no issues with it whatsoever

Sweet. How much can I expect to spend for it? I have one reel I need to respool soon and will check it out.

So you do backing with mono to fill the spool then top off the spool with 150 yds of braid?

I have so few uses for braid that I don't even keep it on a reel any more.

Oh look at me I have a Mac.

The only thing I don't throw on braid is rogues/jerkbaits and crankbaits. I, personally, love the solid hooksets and sensitivity it gives me. Is there something in particular about it you don't like?

Big fan of power pro here
Posted on 2/11/13 at 10:18 am to The Last Coco
its not very good for clear water
Posted on 2/11/13 at 10:19 am to The Last Coco
i dont back my reels but i dont have any need to, i only have one or two offshore reels and i only go inshore or freshwater fishing so all my reels are small.

that's what a leader is for
Posted on 2/11/13 at 10:21 am to carrotsticktiger
Easiest way to break a leader is to use one with braid.

I bought a spool of the Kanzen on sale at academy, must have been a bad batch, broke off 3 times. Put a bad taste in my mouth, I still Seagar fluro though.

this is true but if it's clarity that you're looking for then that's a solution
also it depends on what lb test and type of not you tie on it

Am I the only one that uses cajun line? Tried it and still like. It has terrible memory, but I haven't been broken off yet.
Posted on 2/11/13 at 10:25 am to carrotsticktiger
Used to do that with c-rig, and whacky. I have gone back to mono for everything now and will switch back to braid if I do not like the experience.
I've removed flouro from all rigs. It just sucks in every way. Terrible, terrible fishing line.
