    If you don’t know how to tie certain knots to join a mono or flouro leader to it, maybe. Otherwise, it outshines mono in many ways, including cast ability. Sensitivity, line capacity/lb, abrasion resistance, lifespan and more.

        Kind of hard to have a all around line that can effectively go from clear water river trout to lake Striper.

        After spending the money to get to the fishing hole, saving a $1 on line is my least concern.

        I change my line regularly based off of what I'm going for and what I'm throwing. Mono on some rods, fluorocarbon on some as well as a few with braid. The are all different tools.

          Im moving to a 10 pound braid for most applications. Arkansas striper fishing I would go 20 pounds. They’ve pulled 67 pounders out of the lake my brother lives next too.

            That's exactly what I was thinking. I hate to admit it, but I once saw a 300 lb stripper in New Orleans! Don't ask me why!

              This thread has so much potential... to go south.

                  This is almost as good as the “Tiny Lama Boots” thread.

                      We used to throw nothing but big game but there is just way to much stretch on it for me. Try some flouro specially with as clear as Travis is right now. Much better on the cranks as well.

                      Now at the coast I'm throwing nothing but braid.

                        I’ve got a few rigged with fluro. But only for “single hook” stuff. Have never tried it for crankbaits, ect.

                            I will never go back to mono after using braid, so much better.

                              I recommend a sufix braid, 20 lb or less. If you want to get cute use a leader but in my experience even in clear water the trout don't require one.
