I think it probably comes down to cost and manageability. If you're fun fishing, you might not want to spend the money for a good fluoro, copoly is a lot cheaper. Also, some fluoros can be really stiff and a little harder to manage. You have to be more diligent with knots and backlashes. Fluoro just isn't as user friendly as copoly. If you don't have money on the line, you might not feel it's worth the price difference and hassle. The flip side of that is fluoro is more sensitive, generally offers more abrasion resistance, is less visible in the water and sinks, (which is a benefit in some scenarios.) I'm not trying to put words into BB's mouth but those are the things I based my post on. I don't fish tournaments either but do use fluoro for most techniques, for the record.

For techniques where fluoro is ideal, copoly isn't a good substitute. For every day fishing, it will work fine.

First time I've ever cheered for the Redskins!

I prefer 6-8 lb fluoro on my finesse casters. Just play with different lines until you find what you like best.

I have 3 different types of line in about 8-10 different lb tests. If you're looking for 1 line to be versatile on one or 2 casting rods, I would go with 12 or 14 lb mono.

I'm a big fan of the Ruger revolvers. A Gemini Custom's SP101 is on my wish list. The LCR is a really nice carry piece too. Supposedly, the polymer LCR frame helps absorb some of the recoil, I haven't fired one to be sure though. I feel much more comfortable with 5 shots of .38 or .357 than I do with 5 or 6 shots of .32 or .380, like you get with most pocket guns.

Nice haul fellas! I got mine last week but I'm waiting to open it.

We finally hit $1.99 here in Dallas.

That's like asking what color is the best.

12 lb fluoro

What's the point?

I use a snell knot with straight shank flipping hooks. The key to rigging is to not push the hook point through the other side of the bait like you would with a EWG hook. You leave the hook point buried in the bait.

Murray had surgery on the finger today. Garrett said they won't know whether he will play this week until game day, most likely. Randle and Dunbar are capable backs and should do ok against Indy's run D. I can see Murray trying to go, even if he isn't ready. I know Emmitt Smith had the same procedure in the 90's and missed one week. Doug Free and Zack Martin both had ankle injuries but they aren't high ankle sprains. Martin finished the game but Free didn't. Just going by that, it would seem Free is more likely to miss Sunday than Martin. It should be a great game, I just hope Dallas can overcome their home game woes. Luck will probably light this defense up so the offense is going to have to be good and take care of the ball (obviously.)

Great game! Have to take care of Indy at home next week.

2 lbs is about what I was thinking too. I don't tournament fish though.

I'm not a braid fan for moving baits but I can definitely see where it would be useful for ripping traps out of grass.

I ordered a Zillion, 2 LC Spins, 2 LC Bevy Shad and 2 Duo M65 8A's. That should hold me over until Monday or Tuesday.

Or a Purge.

Since you already bought them, go to the craft store and get some elastic cord. Tie a loop of that into the opening so you can wrap it around the reel handle in the manner that iabass suggested.

Lol, my 10% off electronic gift card didn't come through tonight. I'll be sure and post if I decide to get one. I'm definitely getting a Zillion and a rod, just haven't quite decided which one yet.

You guys have just about talked me into one too.

I'm definitely picking up another Zillion tonight.

Too many great patterns to pick just one.

LC Gunfish 115 Yellow Magic

I kind of like the way it smells.
