I've been using braid with leaders for a while but I want to give straight fluorocarbon a try.  I'm tired of braid stealing 25% of the depth of my cranks and I'd like to see if the number of bites I get goes up with straight flour.  I have the following rods:

 

1) Fury 733;

2) Med Hvy Lew's cranking stick 7'2"; and

3) Medium heavy mojo bass.

 

and the following fluoro line:

 

18 lb Sniper 180 yd spool

15 lb Lin 90 yds

12 lb  Lin 90 yds

10 lb  Sniper 180 yd

 

I want to set up one rod for <12 foot cranks & jerkbaits, one for deep cranks (DT 14-22 and deep Berkley Dredgers) and one for general med heavy stuff like jigs, texas rigs and chatter baits.  I don't think splitting a 90 yard spool onto two reels will make them useful for very long, so I'm thinking 12lb for the 733, 15 for the deep crank and 18 for the general med heavy.  Does that make sense, or should the deep crank have 18 and the general rod 15?  I fish around a lot of weeds and rocks but very rarely wood.  I also hate breaking off crankbaits, which is why I used braid for so long.

Cranks dive deeper on braid than they do on fluoro.

10# or deep cranking 

12# for the 733

15# or 18# for the MH depending on cover. 

 

But that’s me
