Im thinking about switching all my reels over to fluro except for a couple with braid..I want a fluro that isnt really loopy i have trilene 100% fluro and it seems really loopy what do you yall recommend? haha i know loopy probaly isnt the correct term but i didnt know what else to use haha

I used 10-lb Vanish floro for 3 years and it wasn't very loopy. I recently switched to 8-lb Trilene floro and while it is a little loopier, the breaking strength seems to be 2x to 3x stronger than the Vanish was. Needless to say, I'll stick with Trilene.

OH BOY, I'd give that one a long hard look, before jumping into the pot.

I'm not being a smart alec when I say that I've used wire leader for pike that was more supple than some of the fluorocarbon out there.

Bone-up on the REAL STORY about fluorocarbon monofilament, not manufacturers claims or their sponsoned tourney pros.

I think you might be shocked to learn about the true stretch-resistance of fluoro, it's true abrasion resistance and the true worth of refractive index.

Line memory.

x2. Do you mean limp?  It might be just me, but I prefer a limp fc line for drop shotting.  There is a whole gamut of fc line types. Some are supple and some are stiff and the choices are many.

P-Line Fluoro is AWESOME!!!!  It handles just like mono but its a fluorocarbon!  it doesn't tangle, has good knot strength, abrasion resistant, and is easy to cast!  Spray KVD line conditioner or Real Magic while spooling and once or twice a day while on the water.

My favorite so far is Trilene Profesional Fluorocarbon.  It is the only one I have tried that has lived up to the hype.  I have tried it on spinning gear and was the best fluoro yet bet still "loopy".  

The Trilene, IMHO, is the best bang for the buck.
