#3511, "flurocarbon line problems"
|
2-yrs now and still having problems with fluro line.
backlashes. overruns. all top notch reels and expensive line.
biggest problem is into the wind!!!! I'm matching heavier line
with heavier baits (15 lb. with 1 oz. bait) but still have
problem!!! If I go down to a 5/8 oz. bait the problems
multiply! Also, every once in a while the line will just break
off in the middle of a cast and the bait is gone,gone, gone!
I'm using KVD line spray almost every time I go out. Anyone
got a short answer to a long question? And please don"t
say don't use it anymore like all my so called fishing
buddies. I've got too much money tied up in line and lost
baits to give up now. Woo

come to think of it most problems come with a new, full spool.
I'll try about 5/8 of a spool next time. thanks much for the
replies. I am us Vicious 15, 12,and 10. On occasion I still
get breakoffs so I don't know if I'll throw a $40 bait but my
fishing spots don't have real clear water and I can get away
with braid. Any more help, esrecially fishing lighter baits
(less than 3/4 oz.) into a very stiff breeze can only help and
will be greatly appreciated. Woo

I'm using all Shimano Calias and Curado. I adjusted the ABS on
a couple and it really helped on a "test drive". How
much distance I lose may be another matter but all looks
"ok" for now. Thanks much for the help!!!!! What do
you all think of this co-polymer line? Is it easier to manage?
Something tells me it's lacking something because no one EVER
talks about it. Keeponcastin'! WOO Woo
