Fluoro line for spinning setups
for all you guys who are having trouble with flouro on spinning reels here we go again.i use a 4000 size reel.the bigger spool helps with line twist.you should put the spool in a tub of hot water and then spool it on.let dry overnight.let out all the line the next day and spray it with kvd line spray as you reel it in.let dry another day.EVEN IF THE LINE YOU USE IS NOW OK THIS PROCEDURE WILL MAKE IT A LOT BETTER!!!last but most important GET RID OF WHATEVER FLOURO LINE YOU ARE USING AND BUY THIS!!!

I don't want bash Sufix but I've snapped two more times...
it reverses the tangles.

Flooger Trion thoughts
the narrow sppol has a better brake.i use 4 on and a loose spool tension.i use my thumb instead.this gives great distance.

you should never have to pick out a braid backlash.push your thumb down on the spool and reel in against your thumb pressure.release the spool and pull line out.repeat as needed.i have not had to pick out a backlash in a long time.picks damage line.this method works for all lines.

FLUOROCARBON LINE!! WORTH IT?? DOES IT HELP???
i just reread the article.the abrasion resitance was a dry test.the xl lost %56 of it's abrasion resistance when wet.the flouros did not including the invizx.this puts it's real resistance way better than xl.it also had the absolute best knot strength out of any of them.

FLUOROCARBON LINE!! WORTH IT?? DOES IT HELP???
Dodgeguy, The fact that invisx doesn't behave like fluoro is probably a RED flag! According to a line study conducted by TackleTour, Seaguar Invisx was the absolute worst performing fluorocarbon of the bunch. The abrasion-resistance of Seaguar Invisx was 35% "worse" than Trilene XL (nylon mono). As though that weren't bad enough, Seaguar Invisx was also the very worst for stretch-resistance, demonstrating 38% MORE stretch than Trilene XL (nylon mono). Roger i don't believe those results are entirely valid.try a spool and see for yourself.i've used trilene xl and it's like a rubberband.invizx is not.also i fish cranks over some of the nasteiset rocks around and invizx holds up wonderfully.trilene xl does not.it does have more stretch than most flouro but that doesn't bother me.

Most economical line for baitcasting w/ spooks

-
pflueger summit

-
New Pflueger reel looks sweet.
i hope they buy shimano and diawa also!!!then we can say that they are all made by the same company!!!ROFLMAO!!! ;D
-
improving casting accuracy
the shorter the rod the more accuracy you get.control the line by putting your index finger against the spool to feather it.

what buyout?

St Croix Avid or Carrot Stix LTX???
i forgot about them and add diawa steez rods.

FLUOROCARBON LINE!! WORTH IT?? DOES IT HELP???
i use seguar invizx on spinning and baitcasting.it works great.i hated flouro until i found this line.it is the most mangable fluro i've used.flouro is worth it as long as you don't kink it bad on a backlash.a bad kink will damage any flouro line.other than that it should outlast mono.it is more sensitive than mono.
-
St Croix Avid or Carrot Stix LTX???
very well thought out points.so as far as for bass rods that just about leaves lamiglass,st.croix and loomis as the only 3 whose lifetime warranty means lifetime.

Lightniong rods
they are way to heavy imho.i would go with a bass pro shops tourney special first.or better yet save up your money for a bionic blade.

Let's Talk Advantage's/Disadvantage's ...

red line - red hooks
and grey becomes very hard to see in water.even in clear water grey will not stand out when you have other objects in the water.like i've said before,you have to study underwater photography to get it.
