Let's talk fishing line

Mono vs Braid vs Fluorocarbon what's your setup for bass. I use fluorocarbon on my crappie rigs due to it sinks quicker and tough for fish to see. I'm getting back into bass fishing. I've always used plain old stren 12 lb test. With the advancement of fishing lines I'm not sure the best set up for my new rigs.

Flouro on my soft plastic setup. Braid for my frog/fluke grass setup. Mono for everything else.

Depends on the setup. All three have their place.
I use mono on my crankbait/topwater rig so it has some stretch.
I use flouro on my worm rod, and braid on my jig setup. No give in either of those.
In general treble hook baits are gonna need some stretch and power gauge hooks benefit from less line stretch.

Crappie - Nanofil to swivel, then 4-8 lb fluoro.
Bass mostly mono.
Fluoro casts so poorly I refuse to use it other than a leader.

I've heard the same about fluoro and casting. My new rods have the microguides not sure if it makes a difference though.

Fresh flouro is a pain in the arse, but once you work the memory out its not so bad. I will never use anything else on my worm rod, I can feel a penny on the bottom.

I have one reel that does well with the flouro.
The rest are power pro or mono with a flouro leader

If I fished a lot of super clear water I'd consider fluoro for some applications, but I have slowly but surely come to believe that braid is superior in the majority of situations. With an added leader when necessary. And I was die-hard mono for years.
I'd probably still rig my light tackle with mono if I fished for bream and sac-au-lait more, but only because it's cheaper.

4lb trilene smooth casting is good enough

What's the deal with nanofil? What is it?

Braid for everything.....simplifies things

quote:It's like braid, but isn't made that way. It's super thin and nothing comes off a spinning reel like it. Be careful though, it's true to test, so if you by 4, it's going to break. 6 casts almost as far, and I have not broken it yet. I will never use anything else on spinning reels.

Flurocarbon on my normal texas rigs and weightless 80% of the time.
Braid on heavier stationary baits, i.e. Jigs, and while flipping heavy cover with texas rig, etc. 19% of the time.
Mono for spinnerbaits and crankbaits. 1% of the time. (I hate spinnerbaits
