What Flourocarbon For Spinning Setup?

Featured Replies

Hey guys im looking to get flouro for my spinning setup that i mainly use for dropshots, shakeyheads, and finesse techniques. what flouro would you suggest and what lb test? thanks!

7lb sniper, great stuff

X2. I use it in 6 and 8 lb as well. Great line.

I always keep 6,7, and 8 lb sniper with me, I just really like the 7lb, I have gone down to 4 and 5lb sniper, but that's pretty rare for me even out in our super clear socal lakes

There isn't going to be a better line than Tatsu. I use 6# typically so I can toss the really light stuff too. I also use 8# sniper. Both are great. I back the reel with a little mono to help on line savings cost.

X3 on the sniper. I use it in 2-8 lb test on spinning gear as well.

Sniper is awesome, just don't go any heavier than 8lb fluoro because of fluoro's stiffness - it'll start springing off your spinning reel like backwards-spooled mono.

If you don't like a lot of stretch, Sniper has less than Invizx and Tatsu.  If Sniper is still too much stretch for you, either try Yo-Zuri Hybrid (even less stretch than Sniper, trade off is a slightly slower sink rate) or use braid and tie a 4 foot fluorocarbon leader on with an Alberto knot.

6lb Trilene XL 100% FC has worked great for me so far.  No knot or breaking issues and it has been pretty manageable. 

x2 I've had the same results with it as fish

Sniper or InvizX in #6lb. ~ #8lb.

Once my current inventory is finished I might just go with Sniper in #7lb. and really learn touse it well for spinning applications for bass versus using two lines such as #6lb. and #8lb.

7lb Sniper is great stuff. Has a diameter closer to 6lb but has the strength of 8lb.

 

Personally I prefer 10lb braid with a 7lb Sniper leader on a spinning rod but thats just me.
