Yeah and yet i have been sight fishing for bass and have hit the fish the line before it even noticed the line. Also just because its cheap doesnt mean it sucks,35 dollars while get you a good quality mitchell reel that will last you and easy 5 years with proper care.

how many pros use braided lines in tournaments these days.Not many and if they do its 100% of the time will have a fluorocarbon leader.I dont just fish once or twice but hundreds of time a year.I live minutes from the best trout river in the world,Your right its may not be the gear but the person using it,i figure if i go enough times a year why not treat myself to a nice rod reel combo.some people take fishing alot more serious that a $14 combo.

I got to say I live on the main salmon and steelhead river in southern Michigan. And everyone of us only use braided line. It humors us when a hill jake comes down there with mono, or fluro. But its also not cool when the hill jack gets snagged and the line breaks close to the rod then you got all his dang line in the river. I love my rods and Reels I have two Gloomis rods and a st. croix. I use Pflueger Reels But have a few other brands on my other setups. For catfish and sturgeon fishing You cant beat braided line.

i would just stick to a flourocarbon 12lb or a 14 they both have a breaking strength of close to 26lbs...i have tested this myself with weights....i like the berkely or stren flouros the trilene 100% is my favorite

thats the point of a 10 foot flourocarbon leader.....so fish DONT see the braid

I use Sufix 30lb braid on my rods and I have to say, after switching to braid from mono I will never go back. I fished backwater bays and canals down in Ft. Meyers over spring break and loved that line. had on a 4ft 30lb flouro leader and had no problem slaying the snook and reds. The amount of strength that the braid has is unmatched. plus its just as thin as the 12lb Sufix Siege mono I had on before. Now that I'm back up in Gainesville at school, me and my friends go night fishing for bass and I don't use a leader any more. Still slay them. Last night me and my friend each caught around 10 bass and he caught 2 that were at least 7lbs and had on 3 more that he said felt bigger. Braided line is the way to go. Not to mention I find it more sensitive than mono

The reason its more sensitive then other lines id that there is very little to no stretch in the line. in other lines theres a stretch that dampens the bite.

Personally i think flurocarbon is a overrated crap line, for a few reasons. First off it has so much damn memory even worse than mono. Second its sinks so you cant really using it in any where you are doing slow presentations in areas with snags. And third it has some bad knot strength, not as in braid where if you dont do enough loops its slips, but as in the line cracks on the knots. Flurocarbon might be good leader for bigwater fishing but, im never spooling up with it again.

i used trilene 100% fluoro and it had horrible memory, the knots failed, and i didn't get a single bite in 8 MONTHS!!!! i will never use that crap again. ever.

We have obviously digressed a bit off of the beaten path of discussing string to passive aggressive attacks which is childish and unneccessary. In response to this quote, that is great to treat yourself to a nice real, but I could still never justify spending $500 on a real to catch fish when I could go buy fish and eat for a couple months on that. Just in my opinion, spending that much on a real isn't about treating yourself to something nice. It seems to be having more money than you know what to do with. Financially I need to be a steward with the money I have and fishing is just a hobby not my life. I do take fishing seriously but I take the well being of my family even more seriously so if I can spend $14 dollars on a rod or even buy a decent combo rod/reel for $40 - $60 and catch just as many fish as the guy who spends more than that, why not save a little money. If I had $200 or so to spend I would rather buy multiple rods and reels than just one set up. There is no reason fishing should be taken that seriously. Because it is just fishing, a nice relaxing past time.
