Mono, Floro or both.

Since the newer florocarbon handles better, are you guys using it?

The past few years I've been trying florocarbon on my spinning reels and like it. Most of my reels have 2 spools, one gets a braid and the other mono or floro. Now it's time to respool so I'm thinking about what to buy.

[itchmesir]

I like fluoro when im spinning for trout.. that's about all I use it on.. otherwise i use braided

[slipperybob]

I have very few flouro lines in use. Mostly braid or nylon lines are on my reels.

[My_Key]

I use braids. Flouro is strictly used for leaders for walleye fishing.

[Fish Head]

I use floro quite a bit, but only for leaders.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I have quite a few rods and use floro on a few for techniques. But not for everything. I say use what you have the most confidence in.

[Northlander]

Only time I use floro these days is for leader material in real clear bodies of water. I found it to be too expensive to fill spools with and never found one that I liked on the spool.

I use braids. Flouro is strictly used for leaders for walleye fishing.

I like the p-line flouro for jigging and pulling live bait in the summer but I like to slip bobber fish and for that I have to have mono as the flouro will sink making it hard to set the hook properly....

[Matt C]

I agree with the others, floro for leaders/walleye.

98% braid, 2% mono.

[Corey20]

Vertical jigging or pitching jigs I will use braided (fireline 6# crystal) But when long line jigging I use 6# mono. Rigging I use braided w/ a fluorocarbon leaders. Bobber fishing depending on the rod length/strength I will use mono or braided then a fluorocarbon leader.

They all have their own place and time. A little personal preference but in some cases by using one or the other you will catch more fish.

Do fish really see mono or braided line?

[jwmiller33]

The only time I use fluro is leaders for rigging.

[tacklejunkie]

I also use flour for leader material only.

The rest is braid or mono

Do fish really see mono or braided line?

I'm not totally sure, but last winter, I caught 5 walleyes on one pole, rigged with mono, to the one fish I caught on the pole with Fireline. Only difference that day between the set ups was the line. It occurred to me after that day that I never really had much luck with that rig. Once I started using a flouro leader, catch rate evened out between the rigs.

Braid: Yes, if the water is clear enough. This doesn't mean crystal clear either. My dad was once using fireline crystal in stained water and not catching fish. I put a 4 foot section of mono on his line and he started catching fish. This was jigging. I still use it for casting with good results.

Mono: Not in my experience.

Floro is great for leaders, but too stiff for a main line for my tastes.

[mainbutter]

Put me down as another "fluoro is for leader only".

My main line is either braid or mono.

[BMaxus]

Floro leaders work slick.

Floro is a bit stiff, but not as bad as folks think. The lower streach (vs Mono) is nice and it's a pretty tough line. I've only used Vanish and P-Line and both have preformed well.

[goose89]

I'm in the "Flouro Leader" camp as well. I hear some guys using flouro for rigging. I'm not saying you won't catch fish, but.... flouro sinks. Just saying.....I wouldn't tie up my 10-12 ft ML special on flouro, but that's me. Good luck.....

[AllenW]

Vertical jigging and with 1/2 oz jigs or less it's usually always mono for me, deeper water and heavier jigs I'll use something like power pro.

Can't help ya on fluro, don't use it.

Use whatever you feel confident using.

Leaders: P-line hands down

Main line(rivers, darker or deeper water, etc..) Power Pro braided or for mono I use Trilene XT in the green tint. The only Flouro I've had good success with was and still is Yo-Zuri High brid which has more give than the other types and brands but has the strength to go against many braids without the obvious presentation in the water. Check it out on Bass Pro Shops HSOforum, great price too!

[WalleyeBIZ]

Braid backer and floral leader!!!!!!!!

[rkhinrichs]

mono for the main line and fluro for leaders! but i just use the same line year after year. i feel i can catch anything on it and dont want to try new lines and lose all my mojo!
