SilverFox Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I don't but I only use mono at night now. Fluoro was a hard sell for me also. After using it there was no looking back. I back the reel for flipping with mono and put 50-75 yards Fluoro on the end. I can get 3 or 4 line changes out a 250 yard spool of PLine. That saves a ton of money and for flipping you don't need a lot of line so you get the advantage of the fluoro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletDeuce Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 No floro to mono for me. I use floro to braid & usually go down to 8 lb on a shakey head w/ 15lb braid & 14lb floro to 20lb braid for a Senko. Usually straight floro for a jig & +2 to what KP said about using backing on your reel. That will save you alot of $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackertxw175 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 been using braid with floro leader all winter. like it a lot. use straight floro on jig rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainman Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I use flouro only on a few crankbaits, jerkbaits. I use 30# power pro braid with a 8 or 10# Segaur Abraz-X leader on shakey head and mono only for most everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 we also bk our reels with mono...and add 40-50 yards of braid....we use Power Pro Braid with floro leader....but also like mono for cranking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solocam Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Braid to flouro. For me . When using jigs and jerks. Straight flourocarbon when cranking, but I will have a little backing on it to save line. I have around 30 rigged rods and none of em have mono on them. I just don't have any use for it rite now. When it warms a little I may use some for some top waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I only use braid for heavy cover jigs and creatures or frogs and I tie straight to the braid for those applictions. I use a good copoly, Silver Thread to be exact and it is not only super clear but it really has a lot less stretch than most monos have so I can avoid flouro all together. I did try it on a spinning reel and that did it for me, I can't even think of a spool of it on my casting rods so it is strictly braid for heavy applications and copoly for everything else and I don't care what I'm missing, I'm not fishing for 100 grand, that fact would change a lot of things!!

JoeP Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 You'd be hard pressed to find 12" of mono anywhere in our boat or house. Braid with a fluoro leader, straight braid or straight fluoro. No use for mono on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOONlite Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 i prefer the alberto knot because it has the smallest diameter of the ones i measured and it's the easiest i've tried to tie. can't remember if i tried the seaguar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Nitro Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Topwater is braid or mono. Depends if its open water or frog conditions. All of my spinnerbait/crank/jerkbait rods are full F-carbon My jig rods are 15-20# F-carbon, when heavy cover or punching I use braid My drop shot is F-carbon leader ( dbl uniknot) to braid Shakey Head on my spincast is also f-carbon to braid... Braid holds up and less line twist on the shakey head rod. Not to mention you can feel a fish fart with the f-Carbon to Braid setup. All of my Braid is Power Pro, Seaguar Red Label F-Carbon, Stren/Trilene for mono. No issues with any of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
