![]() When targeting big fish, nothing is more important than good fishing line. There are probably many anglers out there who swear by the stuff.The best fishing line spoolers are the first step in landing the fish of a lifetime. The truth is, as Hatter said, fishing gear has the ability to be different things to different users. Dont use it now, back on the GR60, mainly because i cant be bothered, and just spool all my reels up with the same stuff. As i say, may have nothing to do with the line, our luck was in, and they probably have never seen a line coming strait up before. If they could see this aweful presentation they never showed it, repeatedly bumping into the 12lb line, to the point of moving the lead, before a fish slipped up. The only way was to lower it down a 10 ft drop strait on their heads, with the line coming strait up from the lead, then guide any hooked fish downstream to where we could reach with the net. Ī second capture, again a double for Sue, again the Teme, see even Dave Mason shocked as we had some fish feeding behind a bush as we stood on a high bank above them. Of coarse it may be coincidence, as re casting a bait sometimes see the rig lay in a different way, who knows what goes on in their little brains, but its their medium we are casting into. There was the odd ocasion on the rivers where it seemed to do the trick, once stalking a couple of barbel the shy ed off for some reason, where i changed to X-Line strait through, and a nice Teme double picked it up first time. On the canal especially it was good, mainly for the line lay. all the above rings true, but just for the fishing i was doing it really suited me. There are probably many anglers out there who swear by the stuff.but then those folk probably like Brussels sprouts as wellĭave, I love Brussels sprouts as well. Other than that, it's probably great stuff That last only qualifies as useful because it is so thick in those B/S's that it's lack of abrasion resistance is mitigated, and of course it sinks like a stone in those B/S's. As far as I can see, it's only saving graces are (1) it's relative invisibility when new out of the box (A very dubious 'benefit', as many have discovered) (2) it's stiffness (if you want a stiff rig) (3) it's sinking qualities, and (4) it's use as a leader when used in very high breaking strains. At that stage, all that stuff about Fluoro being invisible in water goes out of the 's now just another line Even in rivers, it doesn't take many outings before it has a semi permanent film coating it, with the same result. This muck WILL settle out.and WILL then coat any line. In lakes in particular, you can add another factor.suspended solids. Sadly, judging by the Tackle Box line strength charts, Fluoro still has the overstated breaking strain issue.every single brand of it is guilty of that. If it touched anything with even a moderately sharp/rough edge, it parted like cotton.end of. (C) It had virtually NO abrasion resistance. (B) The breaking strain was (unlike standard mono), broke well under the stated B/S even on a straight pull. What I discovered with the stuff I had was that (A) It was VERY thick, stiff and springy for it's breaking strain, so didn't cast very well. In fairness, like many things, it may well be much better now. ![]() I then filled two big carp reels with the stuff.and binned it after the first session. After several telephone conversations with the guy who was marketing it, I believed the guy and fell for the hype. As I have said before, I used X line when it first came out. ![]()
