Regarding the fluoro .
My opinion , and experiances .
My observations . Comparing most mono to fluoro , fluoro is not as limp . Pro or con , I think a pro for me .
When fluoro gets a proper stretch , it goes white or pale , but still produce , under certian circumstances , the trace would be replaced with a fresh one ( like the guys in the canyon does for yellowfin )
We have fished a pale Fluoro from the surf and it still produced , and outfished mono hook shoots , hands down .
Last year , we did a test over a period of time , one using mono , one using fluoro ( same trace lengths and baits hook ect ) the fluoro always got the pull , not only that , it's expensive , but your fishing a expensive reel , line , braid backing , why not just go the Fluoro route ,
Things to loook out for when buying fluoro .
You get a cheap version ' mono coated fluoro , this is cheap , and not the real stuff you're after .
Look at the meters on the spool vs price , you will soon see the price differences . Suffix nippy or something is fine .
I buy the Berkeley vanish where I can find the big spools .
I am pretty sold on fluoro and will generally only need 3 different sizes to cover the rock and surf and estuary . .35 /.45 and a. 60 or 70 .
I know Tuckers sells premium fluoro per meter , but only thick diameters . For offshore work .
