Aaron..I've tried Flouro about 3 times..I did not like it..
Reasons being..they have still not invented a flouro carbon that does not spring off the spool..AND I had it on once this year..a 4 pounder snapped it like it was thread..
That was my last time using it..I pulled it off and it went into the garbage can..
I've talked to local guys who win big money..It was very shocking to hear..
"Well , I use 10 pound mono Trilene..I get more hits...yeah ..I lose some but I get alot more hits ...just last week I got a 9 pounder on a fluke using 10 pound mono."
Under extremem conditions I'll use 12 pound mono."
My drag is set where it should be impossible to break..Earlier this year I put too much confidince in Power Pro and It cost me..I forgot..the initial run of a 10 pound plus is like being tied to a semi..breaks like thread..I have no idea how they generate that kind of power..
By the way..we have top water structure too.{ -:
