Flourocarbon Vs Braid Or Flourocarbon Coated Braid?

Featured Replies

I typically fish spinners, cranks, and soft plastics on one baitcast combo. So which line and lb test is the better choice and why?

Nethier is a better choice, fish them both which ever one you like more use. I like braid for most applications but many more people like FC for most applications. It all comes down to you and what you want.

Lines like Pline CX or CXX Yozuri hybrid, Big game mono, suffix siege , list goes on and on, are still used by a lot of fisherman, there are MANY choices in lines, not just braid or Florocarbon.

Well for spinners and cranks I like braid because on a line with no slack it is more sensitive than any other line and can hook a bass with the slightest pressure.

I also like braid because it is a lot more easily managed and has very very little memory.

Well what would you guys use nd y?

 

I use braid it has the qualities in a line that I prefer and excels at them to the other styles of line.

I have switched over to braid and it's been awesome!! I feel everything and its super strong. No issues with my line and my knots held perfectly. Strung my baitcasters with spiderwire and my spinning reels with power pro. I wish I would have switched sooner.

I use a high quality FC line for all of the techniques you mentioned. Your best bet is to try a few quality lines and see what works best for you and your fishing situation.

I use fluorocarbon, copolymer and braided line, just depends on the situation.

Rather than SW use red label a much better line than SW... It's (Red label) it's a decent FC for soft cover only (IMO) not good on rocks... Then there's Yozuri hybrid super tough/ strong... Doesn't have great feel but it's a dependable line and is made with FC in its make up... Pline is a great Co-poly CX is a softer line CXX is a very strong and durable line as well, CX is FC coated, CXX is coated with something.. Not FC though its called a silicon R Flouric Resin coating that repels water so the line does not absorb water like mono. Good monos are Suffix, triple fish, sunline, Ande, and others.....

For the applications you mention on one setup I would go with flouro, the biggest reason is the plastics. With these bites you end up with slack line as you work the bait. Due to its density flouro will allow better detection of these bites than other lines.
