When should i use flourocarbon and when should I use monofiliamentand when should I use braided.  I do a lot of jig fishing and crankbaiting and worm fishing.  What line works best for these situations.  Also should i use a backing for all of these situations.

Thanks,

Pat

All lines have some "issues." One day there may be "The Perfect Fishing Line." So far the best "balance" of attractive attributes I have found is Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft. The three features I like most are:

1. Manageability; in use the line has virtually no memory.

2. Strength

3. Abrasion resistance

If you are considering a pure fluorocarbon, I suggest trying the orginal Hybrid. The refraction index of this line is not perfect, but it is almost translucent and MUCH easier to work with than fluoro. I fish #4 (8.5 lb test) in the gin clear water of the White River in north central Arkansas. I fish the green tint and cannot see the line in the water. That's good enough for me.

does floro float?

does floro float?

It actually sinks.

so is that the difference between floro and mono?

floro sinks and mono floats, another difference is mono will stretch more
