I dont know about the memory part,, 25 Seagar Invis x seams to have a hell of a lot of memory to me. Matter of fact all that 25# fluor seems to have a hell of a lot of memory!!!

I would adjust your reel settings a bit and spray on some KVD conditioner. I haven't had any issues with red label castability, especially 10lb. Some of the best flouro you can buy for the price. I've never used an Ardent reel though, all my stuff is Shimano.

What jerkbait are you throwing, some of them can be hard to cast with any line, especially throwing them into the wind if they don't have an internal weight.

Trilene 100% is good stuff too, but a little pricier.

Do you really think fluor is that much better than mono especially for flippin. And I only fish Falcon.


Yes.
Less stretch, less memory, less visible in the water. And more sensitive.

Can you catch fish with mono? Sure. But flouro gives you an advantage.


That's obvious, it says that right on the box.

I was throwing a small jerkbait with no rattles. It was a very light bait, but I have thrown it before with regular 12lb mono and no problems. I think It could have been the combo of the ardent reel and a new feel of the red label 10# that just presented a challenge to me. I usually have full control, just because of experience and my methods, but I did switch to the Ardents this year and they definately cast different than any other I have used. I'm just trying not to make the mistakes from last year with missed fish that could have been contributed from using a mono line instead of a less stretching line as flouro. When it comes down to it I just couldnt find my rythm(Zone) with the line and lure combo, although it did produce keepers.(29Jan-BLT)
