Re: 100% percent Flourocarbon help
Use either braid or mono for your mainline, floro is a preferred line for finesse live bait like lindy rigs and the like. I use seaguar 15lb floro for my leaders backed with trilene XT 12lb on all my trolling/downline rods, havent had a breakoff yet this year and ive landed hundreds of wipers and some toothies too. The BIGGEST thing with floro is your knots, Ive learned this the hard way. U MUST WET YOUR KNOTS very well, otherwise they break. tie a knot and pull on it hard with no lube and it snaps easily. Mono is less forgiving, but still does it. I use chapstick now OR alot of spit, they never break. improved clinch knot holds best, if using braid tie a palomar knot, its best
