Default Re: 100% percent Flourocarbon help

With flourocarbon lines, like most other things, you get what you pay for. They are not cheap to begin with and the better lines drastically go up in price. I suggested Seaguar InvizX as it gives me satisfactory performance at a somewhat affordable price. If price was no object, I would probably be using Seaguar Tatsu but at twice the price of InviszX, I don't see the return on investment.

As I mentioned earlier, I did a LOT of research on this before choosing a line as I didn't want to have to go through all the frustration that many have expressed here in addition to endless trial and error.

This was the first year I used 100% flouro for an entire season on 3 of my most used rod/reel combo's (2 spinning and 1 casting), not including my drop shot rod where I still just use a flouro leader, my muskie gear, trolling rods or salt gear.

I have to say I've learned a lot about where and when it makes sense to use, when it doesn't and when it doesn't really matter. I probably won't use it on my casting rod next year and will only use it in certain circumstances on my 2 go-to spinning rods. Since I have multiple spools for my spinning reels, I will just swap between either a spool of mono or a spool of flouro depending on the circumstances. In all honesty, except for a few super finesse situations, I'm of the opinion that just using a flouro leader is probably the cheapest and best solution for most all anglers and situations where flouro is even needed.
