*Never fish Fluoro on Spinning Reels >>>>> **kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6W8hYCXbKhlrJY*

[@paoslee]

I used to be a only abrazx and invizx guy. After seeing berkely vanish at a walmart i tried it out and havent switched since. I see no real world use difference and have caught a ton of fish on vanish. Get a huge spool for under 20. I still have large spools of invizx left but i dont even touch it anymore. Think of it as a trophy mount lol.

[@HellaBass]

Vanish let me down when it first came out, sounds like it is a better product now, but haven't tried it lately

[@ryanjofre]

Have you tried it on a spinning reel??? Thanks

[@buzbait88]

I've given up on flouro. If I want a good clear line with low stretch I like the suffix advanced mono

[@HellaBass]

Nothing wrong with mono and copoly lines, they are underrated

[@Pray4Mojo1]

My mom bought me a 900 yard spool of 4lb blue mono at a random dollar store when I was 14. I am 38 years old now and still have a bunch of the line. I spooled it up a few years ago on a ultralight rod and it is still like new. I used other lines between now and then of course, and prefer braid. But it has lasted me the majority of my life. Point is, if you take care of your line and store it properly, it can last a hell of a long time. It's still my go to for light leader material.

[@HellaBass]

Mom of the year!

[@ShaneJMcNair]

I was braid only, but I'm learning to cast fluorocarbon now. I've used Berkeley Vanish to kinky, Seagar InvizX easier to cast, and Kastking Kovert, too stiff/fluffy for my liking. Straight braid or braid to leader is still my favorite and easiest to cast for me... Thanks for sharing 🍺🎣

[@ETuss713]

The idea of throwing straight fluro is pushed by line makers. I would love to hear a honest rebuttle where fluro would be better than braid to leader or strait mon/copoly

[@ShaneJMcNair]

@Rainbo Sprinkles Straight Florocarbon will transmit vibrations on slack line where the other lines won't when finesse fishing. You will need a highend very sensitive rod to be able to detect those vibrations. Also, Straight Florocarbon will sink and run deeper for cranking when needed. You can back with mono to save money on Straight Florocarbon. Hope this helps 🍺🎣

[@bigbassintv4523]

Vanish also breaks way to easy

[@sirjhonson8218]

I use Fluorocarbon line for a leader about 24' to 36' long and Trilene Big Game mono or with a mid priced braid.

[@HellaBass]

Sounds like a good combo, Big game is very underrated

[@walleyecrazy]

Good video. One other area where I think Tatsu is 100% worth the money is for jerkbaits. The lack of line memory makes it perfect for suspending jerkbaits. The line is so limo that it does not effect the bait at all on long pauses. Cheaper line can have enough recoil from line memory to actually move the bait slightly during the pause.

[@HellaBass]

If I was wealthy, I would bath in Tatsu lol

[@billpatterson6249]

This is a great video! Backs up what I’ve always said, “Line is a racket.” I use PLine Flouroclear for movin baits. I opt for PLine Tactical for presentations requiring sensitivity. Also, I make my line last on the reel and have been known to reverse it. Keep a good line conditioner handy.

[@HellaBass]

I have reversed braid but never mono or fluoro

[@dbettis6477]

pline is the best, 2nd to none believe it or not bass pro fluro is 2nd to pline

[@haroldrogers6566]

Yozuri at academy for 9.99 has become my go to. It works!!! I use 7 lb FC for drop shoting. And can change it without breaking the bank. And I won 20+ tournaments in the last three years on cheap line 😊

[@HellaBass]

Very cool, wish there were a few Academy stores around me

[@haroldrogers6566]

You can buy it on academy’s web site. It’s better than red label. I’ve used both, I will put yozuri up against fc. Yozuri doesn’t fray as bad as fc does on rocks or cover.

[@fishingmaster99]

Samuri is pretty good. I still use mono and barely have any issues

[@rogerdudra178]

I've seriously been pondering new line for my Pflueger President reel and monofilament lines have been very high on my short list of new lines. I once had a full spool of pretty good fluorocarbon, Sniper, and it flew off my spool after maybe 20 casts and I knew how to use the reel. So, I went to braid with the leader which reminds me of fly fishin.

[@HellaBass]

Braid to fluoro is the deal for spinning setups

[@ryanjofre]

I have a Pflueger president 2016 limited edition spinning reel and the best reel ever for the money, the Supreme XT bait caster. They sadly discontinue the supreme XT😭😭. Maybe they weren’t making enough on it…I dunno! Made in South Korea. Beats $300+ reels. I use to think it was snake oil but I highly recommend line conditioner for fluorocarbon and ESPECIALLY on a spinning reel.

[@ryanjofre]

@@HellaBassSo you back you spinning reels with braid?? How many yards of each do you run please???

[@HellaBass]

Actually typically start with 30-40 yards of inexpensive leftover mono or fluoro, then fill thr spool with light braid and then just replace fluoro leaders as needed

[@mattress2331]

Just found your channel, Awesome info!

[@HellaBass]

Welcome aboard!

[@AzAngler77]

for me, i use braid for everything BUT with a long leader of either fluro or mono. My experience proved to me that the affordable bass pro xps brand of fluro has done wonders without the high cost of " name brand " products. I no longer use name brand, as i have experienced " failures" at the worst times. Whereas BPS version hasnt let me down yet! may wanna give it a try if your looking to save a few dollars.......

[@HellaBass]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jmr.6723]

What's the benefit of Tatsu as a leader line over cheaper lines? I mean, with just a few feet of leader you don't have to deal with memory, and I'm not sure if there's much of an impact regarding sensitivity. Can you please clarify?

[@HellaBass]

Seems like best knot strength and abrasion resistance for me

[@ETuss713]

I agree with most of this. Good stuff. Mono and copolymer are more abrasion resistant. Unfortunately, people dont understand refraction and reflection. The claim from fluro makers that its invisible is good marketing, but thts about it. Fluro has less stretch. Thats about it. So if thats important, go for it. As a leader material, ill take 15lb monoover 20lb fluro all day for toughness.

[@HellaBass]

I agree, the fact that fluoro sinks is another main differentiator for me

[@ETuss713]

@HellaBass yes. Mono sinks too, just slower. It is a little upsetting to me to see professionals and the industry push so many claims that I see newer anglers either fet confused, overwhelmed, or beat down over since they didnt have the exact product promoted that day.

[@willjunkin732]

I use braid backing on everything. Pretty much use Berkley trilene mono and floro. Hasn't let me down yet and dosnt break the bank. Especially when you find at bass pro bogo.

[@HellaBass]

If it works, it works

[@timg185]

P line CXX is super strong and low stretch compared to other co polymers . But it has more memory than fluorocarbon. Great for flipping but I can’t cast a small crank without back lashing . Seagar red label works great for me for most applications.

[@HellaBass]

Interesting, just saw that CXX super strong newly added to Omnia

[@dualthreatoutdoors]

I agree with almost everything you said other than a comment you made at the beginning; when I switched from mono to floro in 2013, my catch rate for bass in clear water doubled, and even tripled in some cases. The only use I have anymore for mono is treble hooked topwater baits and backer. It’s worth it for someone to switch from mono to a lower end floro. Huge difference. I use invisx for alsmot everything, red label and the newer white label seguar are great for the price.

[@Daltonbrake]

Absolutely agree. Catch rate increased immediately after the switch. Best decision I ever made.

[@dualthreatoutdoors]

@@Daltonbrake yep! I like it better than braid to floro too

[@rivercityrambler7751]

I run 10lb Invisx on my 2500 TatulaD-XH LT MQ. It is a spinning reel and I've never had an issue running straight fluro.

[@HellaBass]

If it works for you, keep rocking it

[@dinkmaster8129]

I've been under the impression that as long as you understand the line your using any fluro is acceptable. I've tried the best of the best and I still come back to Vicious and Sunline Super in the blue packaging.

[@dustinclick9496]

Thanks for the informational video. Being new to bass fishing anything that saves money helps

[@HellaBass]

Amen!

[@nickdigrino4423]

Whether budget or high cost, I found that when using fluoro I had to change out my line often to avoid breakoffs. My line weakened significantly after hookups or snags (line stretching). The permanent line damage led me to return to fishing either straight mono or braid to leader.

[@HellaBass]

always do what works for you!

[@patrickcotter945]

Good Stuff! So I need two rods set up with Flouro for the annual deep creek spotted sea trout fishing that last about two months , these fish move into fresh water from the sounds and bays and are very finicky, strike very light and are heavy pressured. they sit on the bottom 14-24 feet in current , throw 1/8 swim baits and ned rigs . these fish range from 2-8 lbs. i can’t find a flouro line that wont bird nest , or pop anywhere a long the line when snagged. i’m using spinning gear 2000/3000 size , what type would you recommend?

[@HellaBass]

Are you fishing straight fluoro or braid to fluoro?

[@bassin4tay768]

Premium quality fluoro can be bought at very affordable prices. Just have to shop around. And line is the most important part of fishing. You can go cheap elsewhere just not on line. Just my opinion

[@HellaBass]

Great point!

[@pdfahie]

Hella, I just ordered fc sniper for the season (600 yds on 25% off). For the past 3 years I’ve been using braid to fluoro leader but I got tired of using fg knot. 😫

[@willjunkin732]

Look into the blood knot. Learned it from debo. It's alot easier to tie.

[@pdfahie]

@@willjunkin732 thanks but I just switched back to all fluoro for my bass setups so I can just use my uni knot. I had been using 30 lb braid with 20 lb fluoro leaders but last year switched to 40lb mono leaders in case a musky bit a bass setup. Turns out 40 lb mono might not be the best for getting bass to bite 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

I use P-Line Ultimate fluro carbon is $22.99 for a 250yards which isn’t bad. It’s high quality and you don’t break off on it. Seriously trying to break off when your hung up it’s ridiculous hard. But I will say your right save on the moving and if you want spend more on bottom contact baits for sure

[@HellaBass]

[@bassinbilliards6279]

I started using seaguard from a Rockfishing background and now only use it freshwater. They make their own resins and line in house no third parties. Best line I've used and honestly 10$ red to 30$ sale Tatsu is perfect for me. Lately I only run Invizex and tatzu and I'll never look back. I make too much to worry about 20$.

[@HellaBass]

Good arguement!

[@bassinbilliards6279]

@@HellaBass it's my opinion.

[@rickpurcell4920]

Hellabass, good video. I agree with you on using the higher end flouro for dragging baits, I do use some (few) flouro for small crankbaits and jerkbaits. A few years ago I went to flouro reaction baits, but after a couple of frustrating yrs dealing with flouro lines I reverted back to PLine co-polymer CXX xtra-strong for all my reaction baits. I can buy a 3000 yd spool of PLine for the cost of 660 yd spool of Sniper, when AFL has their Sunline sale. Seldom do I think the water is so clear on Ky Lake that I need flouro line for reaction baits. The exception to that is some late fall/winter flatsided crankbaits and jerkbaits and I will use flouro line. All my spinning rods are braid to flouro(Sniper) regardless if reaction or dragging bait techniques.

[@HellaBass]

I agree, mono is underrated, I think I should use it more often

[@koryscullawl8895]

I used so many fluros…I think the best value is Sniper for anything you lean on them. Assassin for other mainly because you get more per spool. Seaguar is good but I think sunline is slightly better

Thanks for the tip!

[@acme9538]

Fair enough. Makes sense having a lesser quality fluro, for less demanding applications. I use Tatsu for close quarters pitching . . . I'll put on 40 yards at a time (I back the reel 1st) and so I'll get 5 spool-ups out of a 200 yard spool. I also un-spool the line after a trip and run it through a small piece of cloth saturated with Line & lure Conditioner, then spool it back on the same way. This makes the Tatsu last even longer . . . . I fish pretty often, and 1 spool of Tatsu will last me about a season & a half . . . makes it a bit easier to stomach the price. Takes a few extra minutes to do this . . . but it's really nice having such a premium line when we spend so much money on everything else . . . after all, the line is where the hustle meets the muscle.

[@HellaBass]

100% agreed, use the premium line in smart ways in the places its justified!

I use Mono (suffix elite) 90% of the time. When I do fish a crank bait or jerkbait , I use Pline. Hardly ever use straight which ever. I am a braid to leader guy. So mostly Im talking about what I use as a leader. I have a rod spooled up with 100% 12lb suffix elite 12lb that I fish my whopper plopper ,bbz1 rats, once top water is back poppin here in east TN. Best budget braid is Hercules PE, I also keep a spool of Berkely Invisialine > Now that is a budget Flouro. But seriously @ years ago I started using Higher end lines, for my leader material and i will never go back. But yes mostly fish a jig and mainly go braid to leader with Suffix Elite 10 or 12lb mono. I land a very high percentage of my fish. I also will add that to me, Seagur and Sniper are expensive line! Maybe Im poor but I catch fish!

[@ETuss713]

This. You're twlling the truth, but line companies dont want people to hear it. Im an inhore kayak fisherman mostly. I do fish for bass often, too, though. A $6, 700 yd spool of ande or big game is what I use fpr leader most the time and it works much better than any fluro Ive used as a leader. When fishing inshore getting snagged in oyters or a fish running through pilings is a given. With fluro, its almost a sure bet youll get broke off. Mono, im still getting that fish to the boat. Suffix elite is a great mono too.

[@lightningmusky5286]

I like Vicious Pro elite up to 17 .Red label is on up to 10 lb. If you stretch flurocarbon with a deep diver or something fairly heavy it usually behaves better. 17 lb and 20 lb usually use Tatsu

I've never seen a need to use anything more spendy than Sunline Assassin for my straight flouro applications. I won some spools of higher end flouro in fantasy fishing and it was good but not noticeably better than Assassin in my experience. I used to use straight flouro a lot but now use more braid to flouro. or straight braid now. Also, as many have already commented. I fill half to 2/3 of my baitcasters with low cost mono or whatever is laying around as backing first before the flouo goes on. No need for any spendy line (braid or flouro) in the bottom half of your spool.

[@HBeretta]

P-Line Ultimate fluoro is certainly in the mix on the budget side. Assassin is more sensitive and durable than Sniper...and feel Assassin 12# it's superior than Sniper 12# noticeably. Tatsu is the creme de la creme for sure and likewise use it for leaders only. It's worth noting that I use 12# Assassin for 10XD and Big M 7.5 deep cranking and have never had issues. Great video...always like the hear different perspectives on fishing lines.

[@watchman316ly]

For just fresh water- I use braid and then use Seaguar & Sunline FC Sniper as a leader. The braid last forever- they don't create memory and cast a mile. Then after a while I swap the braid by putting it on another reel. The old becomes the bottom and what has not been exposed to much water is now on top. I also use a lot of shallow spools so I don't end up using to much line. For most fresh water fishing applications you will need no more than 100 yds!

Thank you for being the person to speak the truth. I don't know if I can take another brian bengtson invizx rant. 😀 Sunline Super Fluorocarbon is also a good budget option for reaction line.

[@HellaBass]

BANGER LOL!

[@fan4life345]

Top 3 floro lines 100% are: Seaguar Tatsu 12lb Fc sun sniper 14lb Seaguar invizex 15lb Use as leaders tied to 20lb power pro low viz green braid and trust me please, you will never use anything else for landing quality hogs! Tight lines today!!

[@HellaBass]

Solid choices

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Red label has not failed me yet, I do use more expensive ones but purchase when they’re on sale!

[@HellaBass]

Red Label is tough as nails!

[@victorxavier9977]

Thanks Hella!

[@lucashawks2160]

I love Red Label except that they don't make it in 17...

[@HellaBass]

Yeah, I don't like it when line brands don't have a 17 or 18lb option

[@jerryc2709]

Red Label all day long. I have used it for years with 0 difficulty.

[@HellaBass]

I agree, it's good stuff

[@Sulucion6Tone]

This year i finally fully switched to Braid and using Seagur STS flouro for my leads (4lb, 6lb, 8lb, 10lb). Dont think i will ever go back to using mono or flouro for a whole spool.

[@robertrodriguez4587]

I throw FC on my spinning rods, red label on most my bait caster’s. I crank with FC crank.

[@HellaBass]

Straight fluoro or braid to fluoro on spinning?

[@robertrodriguez4587]

@@HellaBass Straight Flouro. I can’t get used to the feel, and sound of a knot through my guides.

[@chriswalls5831]

I got fluorocarbon wont use mono unless it's maxima mono I got Berkley fluorocarbon I like

[@HellaBass]

Berkley is much better than it used to be for Fluoro, Vanish was a bad deal when it first came out

Can't go wrong with Red Label if you're looking to save a few $$ !

[@HellaBass]

Agreed, quality stuff

[@coltonblombergfishing4445]

You can also save tons of money buying bulk spools and you don’t waste as much

[@HellaBass]

Also a good tip, didn't show them in the video, but I do have several bulk spools of my most common line sizes

[@upstatenybassmaster4211]

Yo zuri hybrid is the absolute best

[@upstatenybassmaster4211]

I use it for a leader. Never anything else

[@HellaBass]

I have not tried it, but have heard good things

[@joshdennis8841]

I just bought seaguar red label today and I fucking hate it already. It backlashes every freaking cast on my Tatula. I’ve never ever had this problem with line before.

[@HellaBass]

What size?

[@joshdennis8841]

@@HellaBass 15 pound and it’s trash unless you have line conditioner for it

[@Theoffishial_Theo]

Tatsu is bae. Even better leader line than gold label in my opinion

[@HellaBass]

What's more expensive??? Bae or Tatsu?

[@Theoffishial_Theo]

HellaBass they are proportional lol. You prompted me to do some math and I found out gold label is more than 3x as expensive by the yard than tatsu

[@HellaBass]

Good to know, I will stick to making leaders from Tatsu

[@Fshnfool]

$400 rod $250 reel $25 jerk bait $85000 bass boat why save a few $ on line?😂

[@HellaBass]

Gotta pinch a few pennies here and there to fuel the rig... 🙃😄

[@Garminrules]

Trilene Big Game

[@HellaBass]

Used that a bunch down in the Bayou

[@adamb306]

Fluoro is nice but don't buy the hype. There are lots of videos out there comparing the abrasion resistance of fluoro vs mono and many times mono holds up longer.

[@HellaBass]

I would agree, the fact that fluoro sinks and has a little less stretch is the biggest difference

[@6thSenseJunkie]

Walmart. Berkley Vanish. That’s all you need. It does everything you want.

[@HellaBass]

Sounds like Vanish is better than when it first came on to market, had issues with it back then

[@nathanmcconnell5893]

Bass Pro Shops Excell fluorocarbon is made my Segar and is $10

That is good line!

[@lawbrewer]

Sniper is awesome.

#Truth

[@mikedavis1721]

It's a money waster so is brade Mon it's been around before the rest still the best. Use it in grass. Drop shoots crankbaits worms and jigs. The only line you need if you know how to

[@HellaBass]

They all have their place and I think I can make a case that braid is the most economical of all, since I have had braid on my spools for multiple years, still going strong

[@TWC6724]

Seagar Basix

[@HellaBass]

Haven't had a chance to try it, but I would bet it is solid
