OK, I'm tired of paying $25.00 per spool for Fluorocarbon , so I want to find one line that I can buy in the big 600 or 1000 yrd spools that's the best compromise between strength per diameter, low stretch, and castability, I don't like big game it's to stiff, so what else ?

Fluoro has caught the fisherman better than any gimmick in the history of Fishin' INCLUDING THE BANJO MINNOW!.

Thinking of going back to Mono That would be a rough go for me. I know anglers that fish mono and braid only that are VERY successful. I finally bought the big spool of the fluoro this year to save the cash. http://www.crucialtackle.com/fishing_line.html

Fluoro has caught the fisherman better than any gimmick in the history of Fishin' INCLUDING THE BANJO MINNOW!. Agreed 110% I've tried 6 or 8 different brands of floro. done knot strength testing, stretch testing and it just don't add up. The marketing departments for the tackle manufacturers have done a stellar job on a product that I find to be inferior to mono.

Bass pro has Lake Fork Tackle Florohybrid on close out. Best line I have ever used. Strong, low memory and stretch.

'Silver Thread' and AN 40
Silver thread introduced co polymer line in `85...........
I can still remember the day i caught my first fish on it........it was like night and day !
i threw my stren overboard.......................
Still available i believe at LURENET.COM in 3000 yd spools............about 33.00 bucks i think
Me thinks many of these 'super lines' are comin from the same supplier................don`t ask..don`t tell.....right ?
Surely some of you guys have used Silver Thread ! ! !

I used the Silver Thread for years, but found I broke off more fish with it than the Berkley XL. Now I use the XL for most Texas Rig applications and the Sliver Thread for more hardbait aplications.
Both very limp manageable lines, I just found the XL to be a bit tuffer than the Silver Thread.

Sufix Seige 12lb is THE mono, it is avaiable only on line in the big spools. Have not broken off a fish in 5 years, pulls like a truck.
