I'm not much of a floro user but want to put it on one of my reels to use more often. I have a Symetre 2500 on a 7' Med action rod. Is 10# Floro overkill? I'll be using it for river fishing medium size baits for smallies and in the lake for fishing Super Flukes, etc. for LM. 

 

Traditionally I normally use 8 or 10lb. Trilene XT on these set ups.

I like 6lb Trilene 100% FC with some KVD line conditioner.

Go 6 to 8 depending on what company you go with.

It isn't overkill, but it will be a headache on a spinning reel. 6# fluoro is incredibly strong and as long as your drag is set correctly and your line/lure is matched to your rod, bearing any nicks, your line wont break fighting a fish. I'd opt for 6-8

I use 8 lb Sniper or Trilene Pro XL.  Anything over 8 lb is a bit of a hassel.

I use 8lb Invizx on my 2500 size reels, works great.

Awesome, thanks guys. I had the feeling I was headed into overkill land.

Go with Yo Zuri hybrid for spinning reels.

I use 8lb Sniper or Tatsu on all my 2500 sized spinning reels, 4lb on my 1000 size. I used 8lb Tatsu last year on my Stradic FJ during a guided catfish trip. Ended up catching some real studs and never once was scared it was going to break. It's some tough stuff.

Go with Yo Zuri hybrid for spinning reels.

Kind of defeats the purpose if a guy is wanting the sensitivity of fluoro.

Yo Zuri is a good mix of sensitivity and manageability on a spinning reel. Plus it's MUCH stronger than it's rated. It's just another option.

The strength-to-diameter ratio is about par for the course. 8lb Yo-Zuri is the same diameter as 12lb Sunline.

Good to know.
