Mono vs. Flouro ???

[Bggeary]

fluro is much less visible under water than mono. its just that simple. i use 20# seaguar premier leader for fishing erie with braid for my main line on lite bite slide divers. i don't use the slide on them i just like the lite bite feature.

just for an example we fished Manistee lake in mi for salmon. we did what was called line fishing. you cast out and the fish swimming around with there mouths open gets the line in there mouth and you reel until the hook gets to the fish then you set the hook. you can fish all day and never get a run. as soon as it gets dark the fun begins. they see the line during day light but cant see it after dark. that's with mono but I've never tried it with fluro.

Isn't that called flossing?

i use flouro 20lb for leaders no certain brand because its supposed to be tougher extra cost not to bad if just using for leaders think mono is fine biggest thing is checking for damage on them now and then especially after a tangle . on my salmon gear i only use flouro line gets wrapped around your downrigger cables or wire dipsey rods sometimes landing fish think it just holds up better .when i run inline boards 12-17 lb mono direct to crank bait

I agree with the fact that fluoro disappears better in the water, and has very good handling characteristics. I use fluoro more in salt water. I guess it's just the fact that I've stuck with the 20# trilene for leaders, and it's been good to me, so i keep using it! I was surprised by the tests in the video because fluoro has always advertised better abrasion resistance than mono... Maybe someday I'll get bored and do my own test like that!
