Fluoro Users: What Lb Test Do You Prefer For Jigs?
I bought some 15lb invizx for 19.99 from Gander and 300yds of High Vis PP for 19.99 from Dicks Sporting Goods I went to Bass Pro and they had me standing there for about 10 minutes without even acknowledging me when I was attempting to ask about a price match. They are usually good there but today's morning crew was horrid. I just put the line back and left. Bass Pro was trying to sell the same Invizx for 26 bucks, PP is 12 dollars for 100 yds not 150, the 300yrd spool was near 35 dollars. They had some 15lb triple fish fluoro at Gander for 9.99, which seems to have pretty decent reviews but I just went with the Invizx.

Yozuri Vs Fluoro
Its pretty good but you may want to buy 100% fluoro then. YZ is cheap enough to try though since its 10 bucks to see if it works. You can use the red label as leader, it works well for that if you also have a braid rod. I may be trying Invizx/abrazx myself since I need to respool The YZ is/was actually 13 for 600yds at sports authority but they seem to have been putting them on clearance in many tests for 8-10 bucks.

Yozuri Vs Fluoro
Its a good medium, pretty good all purpose line. I didn't like red label either as main line, much better luck with BPS. The YZ is about 10 bucks for 600yd spools on ebay or at sports authority, not much of an investment in comparison to buying under 300 yards of YZ for 11 bucks at Bass pro.

Its a strike king hack attack jig 3/8th oz with a berkley pitboss trailer. That hook wont bend and it seems to get through vegetation and algae pretty unscathed. I believe walmart sells them but I got it from Dicks Sporting Goods a while back. I have some northstar jigs but havent used them enough to know whats up I had great luck with all terrain tackle football jigs from Gander Mountain. I caught 9 bass on them in one day in rocks which is my record jig fishing. I was using the football jigs

Fluoro Users: What Lb Test Do You Prefer For Jigs?
I'm looking to respool my reel. I have 12lb bps fluoro on it now that was taken off a reel with a lower capacity. I was thinking I should step it up a bit. I can get 15,17 or 20lb and was leaning towards the 17lb. It will either be invizx/abrazx or BPS XPS, leaning more toward Abrazx/BPS due to a rocky lake I fish about 25% of the time. I heard the invizx doesnt have much abrasion resistance but handles well. The other 75% of the time Im in grass, sand and lilly pads so I figure the added line strength will help when Im not using my braid reel. Ill have some left over for leader material for certain conditions also. I've never used a line over 12lb in fluoro and 15lbs in mono, so Im not sure how fluoro handles in higher tests. I was testing a reel with 12lb YZ on my jig rod but the fluoro seems to give more feedback. Ill probably buy line later today with any recommendations, thanks. Extent of my fluoro usage red label 12lb---broke on the spool a few times as main line but works as leader BPS XPS 12lb--Had a break off once on a 5+lb bass with a red eyed shad but I believe the knot slipped when putting my finger on the spool to stop the drag(my fault). No problems since. Works great at the rocky lake on jigs. I put it into good line category.

Unwashed Hands
I see people hop out the gym bathroom not washing their hands, it disgusts me. Ive seen someone come out of a stall from dropping of luggage and walk out without washing hands, post flush. Humans are downright nasty sometimes.
