I used Big Game for years but it seams like the quality is not what it was many years ago. It breaks and cuts easy as compared to 20 years ago. I started trying fluorocarbon and i got so frustrated with making a cast, watching my $10 crankbait fly out into the lake with $14 worth of the fluorocarbon line that broke in the middle of the spool go with it. I�ve set the hook and had my line break I don�t know how many times with both Big Game and Flouro not to mention the hours I�ve spent in the bottom of the boat trying all of these new fan dangled knots for the flouro. I spend half my day jacking with this stuff. Please help! what�s a good line that will last more than one day of fishing? I like the way the flouro feels and looks but dang. What knot is best. I try the professional YouTube knot with the three tag ends and "BINK" when I set the hook.

Thank you for your help in advance

I have to chime in on my experience with Flouro, always been a mono guy, Stren clear blue for over 40 years, old school I guess, never a problem, was going to Falcon last month everyone said spool up 17-20 lb test for all the brush, so I thought I might try some Flouro that everyone raves about, bought a spool of Invisix 20 lb, it was like spooling up wire, casted very bad, broke twice on the spool,half way thru the day, respooled with my old school mono, lesson learned for me

Just use Suffix Siege ...... best dang stuff in the world (IMHO)
quite worrying about lure specific application, stretch / no stretch, sensitivity etc etc etc
use either 12-14 for lighter stuff
use 17 or 20 if you want heavier stuff
the JUST FISH IT ....... no worries.

just add an extra loop or two on the knot, it seems slippery. I fish 17 suffix seige in stumps, rocks and heavy weeds. The stuff just won't break!!!!!

Everywhere I look I see more complicated knots. Fortunately I have been getting by for years using the Palomar for fluorocarbon. I do it with a wrinkle that I got off the old Bass fishing Home Page website. I start by putting the line through the eye of the hook and then running it back through to form a loop. Then I tie a loose overhand knot and put the bait through it....all normal palomar procedure. Now I hold both the main line and the tag end and begin to start to pull the overhand knot down towards the lure to tighten. At this point you will see three loops, two of which point away from the lure and the other pointing toward the eye of the lure. I take this loop and pull it up the line above the other two. Then I wet this assembly and begin to gently tighten by alternately puling on the main line and then the tag end until they are close to the lure. At this point I continue alternately pulling until tight. This procedure has given me no problems with fluorocarbon when I am witnessing others having break offs with other knots. Now I'm not a seismic type hooksetter but I'm not breaking off now whereas I did in the past with other knots. For me, less complicated is better.
