Iron Silk Question

Featured Replies

Should I just stick with flurocarbon? I heard Iron silk stretches a lot* and I'd like to clarify by asking you guys that have used it or just know more about it than me.

 

Thanks!

Flurocarbon stretches but not a lot compared to most mono. I'll try out the yo zuri though thanks for the feedback

I've found that 17 or 20 lb Iron Silk is a good rattle trap, spinner bait, buzz bait line, because it is abrasion resistant.  It has held up well in the areas I fish.  Wouldn't know about lighter pound tests.

Yo zuri stretches big time plus has a ton of memory , still don't know how you guys like that line !!!

Most guys like Yo-Zuri Hybrid, but some don't. The line is very popular

here at BassResource.com and inexpensive. For baitcasting try #12,

spinning gear #6. I would also recommend treating the line with KVD

Line & Lure Conditioner.

This myth has been debunked numerous times already. Fuoro stretches as much or more than other mono-filaments but is not as elastic. If line stretch is the main concern the best option is braid, or maybe a heavier line. What is the main concern you want to address by changing lines?

I use braid majority of the time but there is also a few things I just have to use flouro / mono for and I prefer the one with the least stretch for lipless cranks and spinner baits and also some cranks.
