I know most people use flurocarbon but alot of guys in my club just use mono.  Thoughts?

I use fluro because the bite is really light many times so I want a little more sensitivity than mono has.

Choose what you like, learn to fish with it real good, while sensitivity is important it 's more important to be focused with your bait and watch your line.

I use all types of line but most of my fishing is done with nylon.

Definitly fluro for the invisibility and sensitivity. As previously mentioned bites are very light ..you need the sensitivity of the fluro to detect these light bites.

I use mono...but I use mono for everything because I have a problem with casting fluorocarbon.  If I could use fluorocarbon, I would not because of sensitivity, but because of the fact that there is less stretch with fluorocarbon.  That way I would be able to drive the hook a bit deeper in the fishes mouth.

Fluoro stretches as much as nylon.

What kind of fluro?

If you are going to buy fluoro then buy good quality fluoro like P-Line Fluorcarbon, Seaguar Carbon Pro n 'such.

If you are fishing Vanish I can understand your problem. Raul made some good selections on what to use. You might also try XPS flouro and see how you like it. You just havn't tried a good, solid brand. They are out there so go try another and keep trying until you get the one you like.

I've been fishing XPS a while. I spray it with a conditioner and like the way it works for me. It's your call, go try another.

Good luck

I've got 20lb Power Pro with some 12lb Seagaur Abrazx as a leader on my small spinning rod.  I'm very happy with it.

what size spool and rod?

ive tried 15/4 PP on my 6'6" light spinning rod and i got wind knots left and right untill i finally cut it off and trashed it.

I started using this setup based on Randy's advice, and I love it.

Thanks Randy. My fishing partner is using it too.

Fluorocarbon line has its pros and cons - for refractive qualities and low stretch it was thought to be the future "super line" . It is not as abrasion resistant as good mono. I have lost my share of fish on fluoro.I know all about drg/softer tipped rods ect it just isnt as impact or abrasion resistant. It is designed for super clear water. I think if the water is off color/stained or muddy-it dosent matter. MY opinion only-Oh yeah it costs to freakn much also

I'm using 20/6 braid with a co-poly leader.  Works for me.

20 and 30lb Power Pro, with an 8lb 100% fluoro leader.

I thought one of the advantages of fluoro line was the fact that it had much less stretch than the same diameter mono line?  I thought that and the fact that it is so sensitive is why people use it.

I use 8 or 10 lb. fluorocarbon for all of my finesse techniques.

Fluorocarbon is more sensitive than other nylon lines because it's denser and transmits vibration better. I think it has about the same stretch as Big Game or CXX, maybe a hair less. The other advantage of fluorocarbon is that it is nearly invisible underwater because it comes very close to matching the refractive(light bending) index of water.

For shakeyhead fishing, I use 15 lb. braid with a 10 lb. fluoro leader or straight 6 lb. CXX.
