I use Seaguar Carbon Pro almost exclusively instead of mono. I only use
mono for flippin & for topwaters. Fleuro isn't good for topwater because
it
sinks & tends to pull the bait down.


The Seaguar CarbonPro is great stuff. I buy the 1000 yard spools, but I was
impressed with the Maxima I tried. Atleast the 8lb is pretty darned good
stuff. The sales rep claims it is not a laminate like P-line, but a pure
flourocarbon like Seaguar. I'll have to see if I can find the spool to see
what it has.

I don't use spinning reels all that much and late in the season I tried
some fluorocarbon line on two reels in 4 and 6#.
They both seemed much more prone to birdnests than before.
Is the old mono a better choice?

thanks

I have actually had very good luck spooling my spinning reels with flouro
carbon. Sounds like the line was not spooled on correctly or perhaps as
somebody else mentioned the line roller is sticking. The lightest I have
used is 8LB and typically I spool on 10 or 12. At first I was going to
suggest that perhaps the expensive Seaguar Carbon Pro I use lays better
than
other flouro carbon lines, but the 8lb I have been using is from a sample
spool of Maxima that was given to me by their regional sales rep.

Actually I have to admit the Maxima flouro carbon is very very good line.
I
may see if I can find a bulk spool of it in 10 or 12 to use for wacky
rigging in clear water.
