dayvid Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 From what I have read it would seen most Fluros are much of a muchness with one particular Fluro standing above the rest, and that being.........

cyborx Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 only answer you re going to get to that question my lad is someones personal preference, if enough people prefer one type then it will probably be ok to go with that, if not then its lotto time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamkitson Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Floorit always works well for me. It is the only flourocarbon I've used and no plans to change. Can be a bit lively for a few trips, but once it settles after a few outings it's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianfrog Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 All I can add is that we all have our personal preferences and we can sometimes be influenced by what we hear/read even when it`s either wrong or misinformed. Personally I have been using Tiger for about 3 years and have no immediate plans to change. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkman Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I've got 17lb Xline on my spare spools. It's good but it needs stretching out every trip and then winding in through a damp towel, before use. The pit I've been angling on this year is gin clear and the bottom is 90% covered in thick blanket weed. I'll use 17Xline for close range work , but for 10yrd plus I use nylon with a 5 to 6ft 35lb (.47 ) flourocarbon leader. This disappears in the blanket weed around the business end and the nylon mainline ensures I get good bite indication on semi slack lines with very light bobbins. I've got 3 200m spools of Fox illusion Trans Kaki in 16lb for when I take off the Xline. This disappears on the bottom and on waters with a slight green tinge. I first used it in 8lb for dropshotting and I was very impressed by how invisible it was. I've got a couple of friends who swear by it in 16lb.

I believe that's the gear Rob Hughes has been plugging on his recent under-the-surface features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to say that casting lessons would be better than the type of line used :lol: Edited December 19, 2015 by dalthegooner nigewoodcock, roosterbooster and hawkman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roosterbooster Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Used allot of Floro over the years started out with xline sunk well but found it really wire like and high memory not nice to use at all then moved onto Berkley trilene this again sunk well and was supple but behaved badly like it had adhd jumped off the spool from time to Time but was cheap and came in big spools 1100mtrs for the same price as others in 300mtrs Then I started using Korda kontour and tigerline in my eyes these are the 2 best out there at the moment both sink well behave well ,supple and cast well if I had to pick 1 out of the 2 it would be tiger line but there's not allot in it and the tiger is £5 more expensive at £25 for a 300mtr spool compared to the kontours £20 for 300mtr spool, last time I spool up 3 reels was with the kontour saving myself £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfly83 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I use daiwa floor it. Being the only fluoro I've used I can't compare it to any others. But it sinks and casts really well. Can be quite springy to start with, but after a few sessions it just acts like a normal mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
