Bait Monkey be skillfully playing three dimensional chess with your rod collection.

 

Serious question: IF you could have the attributes of fluorocarbon line in a line that floats, would you add to your rod collection, or would you replace whatever you're using now with this miracle line you're proposing?

Yes.

Not sure.

Just like any fishing-related deal, I'd let the masses who routinely jump on the new stuff, try it.

Certainly there'd be some reliable feedback posted, not a ton, but enough to help me decide if it was something that could improve my fishing experience.

If it was, then I'd try it.

I never place a 'time limit' on anything new in advance.

However, based on my own R&D and sufficient time to know for sure,

I'd make my own decision. 

 

Btw, the vast majority of anything new that I try,

are deals that I come up with on my own.

If they work out, you might hear about it.

When they don't (and this makes up the vast majority of it), you will not.

I think you just reinvented CXX.

Yeah, CXX and floroclear both have the fluorocarbon coating.  I mean...they'd have to blend in something to make it float, and it would become a hybrid line like yozuri hybrid.

What applications would you use it for? For me, I think I'd put it on the reels I use for topwater that are currently strung up with mono/co-poly.  Desired outcome would be a tad less stretch on the initial hook set. 

I've been hoping someone will come out with floating sinkers.  😆

In that line of thought, they could also make braided fluorocarbon.  

The only advantages I have personally found for Fluorocarbon, are more sensitivity with a semi slack line,  and less visibility.

 

I use Fluorocarbon while bass fishing for the enhanced slack line sensitivity ( I believe this to be true, admit it may only be my imagination).   I believe the reason for the increase in slack line sensitivity is because the line is heavy.  If you take away the weight to make it float, than the slack line sensitivity goes away.

 

I also use Fluorocarbon leaders in Saltwater while fishing with live bait because it is less visible than other lines.  The bass fishing I do is not in clear enough water for visibility to make a difference.

 

Would I try a floating Fluorocarbon?  Of course I would.  Why?  Because I do what the Bait Monkey tells me.
