See my post 536,above.

Dang you caught yourself speaking out of your butt. How did those words taste? Because Zero stretch as you stated before and you told me you were going to explain, is way different than baseline stretch as you have in your last statement.

Not,really. Baseline stretch is what you get out of the box. What is important for bass fishermen to know is that mono tends to have more stretch than some FCs out of the box,and that monos tend to stretch more than some FCs when wet. I listed the FCs that performed best,exhibiting no stretch,when wet,vs. mono for the consideration of the guys on this thread,so they don't have to read the article. It is a very interesting article for those that wish to read it.

I must be a magician because I can count on one hand how many times I've had a palomar knot break on InvizX in several years of use... I think some folks need to learn how to use that little knob on the side of the reel that lets line slip out a bit when they try to jerk a 2 lb. fish to the next county. You can crank it down on mono but you really need to allow a little slip with fluoro and braids.

hydrocarbon is what we burn in our engines ....its also used to make plastic and everything we use daily even fishing line.

Right. Look at the P Line. It performed very well with only a .30 mm diameter vs. the Shooter which was a larger .32mm diameter line.

I believe that means nobody really has a clue what their talking about... just switched to brand X flouro because someone said it was good or some pro said you cant catch em without this brand. Flouro is more expensive so its better... right?

No,it just means that the ones using that other brand don't know. Lol. Net,net,net,the P line 100% is the best,for me,anyway. It's also one of the less expensive FCs at about $22 bucks for 250 yards at Academy. But,be forewarned,it does have a little more memory than some of the FCs as a result of it's strengh and abrasion resistance.

Two words, Berkely Vanish

Two bad words.

Fluoro has better sensitivity due to its density not because of less stretch . Fluoro when stretched doesn't rebound like nylon .
Fluoro and mono both generally stretch more than braid.
At least that is my understanding but I'm no chemist.

I think the way you tighten the Palomar is important. I am careful to tighten the knot by pulling,mostly,on the tag end so I don't damage the standing line. .02.

very bad words..
