I want to say he was using 15 lb. fluro.We were joking around calling it power finesse.But I would try some 15 lb. power pro and just experiment.I really don't think you will get less bites using straight braid but alot of people can't over come the mental game it plays on you.This is just my opinion but I would rather land the 99% of the fish that bite braid then break of fluro.

True to that, I'm going to do some playing around this week at fork and see what happens

What kind of cat are you running?I got a 2010 Sabre and love it.

hey brandon, have you actually used that blade? curious...

I have a 06 cougar FTD w/250hpdi, I love mine to, think I'm bout to get new one

If he has I bet it don't work worth a darn in OK. Lol
That was a beating

Bass_Cat_boy Are you fishing around cover? The reason I ask is 10 lb should be sufficient. I�ve even gone to 6lb test. You can�t break that stuff. I guess it would also depend on your rod. But 10 with a fluorocarbon leader (in clear water) should be the ticket.

More bites with Fluro. You just need to go up in pound test,if you want to get them out of that cover. Try 12#.

Hey crankbait I'm fishing around cover sunken steel it's rusty so when I get a fish on it's 50/50 if I'm gonna get it in or not, it cuts right through that flouro there's prolly 20 or so bass swimming in lake fork with spot removers stuck in there head from this past weekend,

FZ1' do you throw 12 on a spinning rod, if so what brand,

As far as using braid for it's strenth properties a flouro leader defeats the purpose. The leader is end in the bushes. As far as using braid for sensitivity then a leader for low visibility makes sense if you are one who believes high visability braid equals less bites.

This is what I'm trying to figure out, I use nothing but flouro on my rigs except for my topwaters, I have a ton of confidence in flouro but I am losing key fish where I am fishing die to that rusty metal,

I Pitch it on spinning gear,when my elbow or fingers are injured or hurting. I use Suffix performance braid for backing,then spool just enough FC for Pitching,say 70 feet. I prefer P Line but it does have some memory. Stick with the brand you are using,for starters. Hope this helps

Yeah that's what I use pline, ok thanks for the info

good post, I love the braid for all the qualities other than the strength. IMO its hard to consider strength when you are fishing finesse...but I love that no stretch, high sensitivity, and all the other qualities.

I throw berkley original fireline or fireline crystal on all my finesse and it is the best I have ever used. 8 or 10 pound test.
