gaspanic Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Has anybody tried some of this stuff yet? I can't really understand the point of braid coated flurocarbon, unless im missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_oggy Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Yeah m8, got some a couple of weeks ago. It's meant to be a stiff rig is'nt it, but braid on the outside to camo it better. Use it with pop ups. I laid my rig in the margins and it looked good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspanic Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 oh right, the braid is fo camo purposes only? but isnt flurcarbon less visible than braid anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thats what I thought mate, I can't really see the point of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspanic Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 yeah m8 thats what im tryin to figure out, braid coated flurocarbon is gonna be stiff all the way through and to camo the flurocarbon is pretty backward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Exactly! if flurocarbon is invisable than why cover it in braid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspanic Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 the only way that I can see it being worth using is for abrasive reasons, to protect the fluro inner when fishing over muscle beds or something. Other than that it just sounds like a gimmick to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Yeah I agree with that, braids are supposed to be thin, a braid over a fluro line must be quite thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_oggy Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 NOOOO You remove some of the flourocarbon from the inside so you get the hinged effect, same as you do with the other coated braids:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_oggy Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Really mate, it's simple to use. Just slide back the braid, cut off the length of stiff stuff then attatch your hook, easy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
