Well, when you throw that fleuro shortline into those tullies & a sixer
grabs it, you'll see what I mean.

Seaguar, and every other one I've tried.

Flipping & close-range pitchin are "here's a bait in your face dare ya
to
gulp it" techniques Bob. There is no need for fleurocarbon line there.
If
the water's so clear that fleurocarbon line is required, you're not
gonna
be
so close to the bass that you'll be flippin & pitchin anyway, right?

I do my flippin with 17-30# green Stren.

I dunno. I have been using 20# Seaguar for flipping and pitching with
good
results. Not because I need to deal with clear water, but because I have
had such bad luck lately with monos, and I just can the distance on a
pitch
with Power Pro. I have my flipping sticks half spooled with PP and half
with CarbonPro. I switch back and forth depending on exactly what I am
doing.

What brand of flouro did you have that happen with?

Be careful, if fleurocarbon has one downfall it's that it doesn't
hold
up
well in short-line scenarios like flippin. It tends to snap on the
hookset
at close range.

IMHO there's no need for fleurocarbon while flippin anyway.

Bob,

I will have to agree with you 100%, I have been using it for about
3
years
now for steelheading and have started using it for bass this year.
I
have
not used heavier than 10 yet, but I will probably spool one of my
flippin
rods with 20lb just so some extra umph! in clearer water. The
breaking
strenght is amazing, and if you ever use a ligther fluoro leader
check
out
Seaguar Grand Max, that stuff is really amazing, very expensive
($15
for
about 30m), but as leader material only it lasts quite a while.

Take care,

Chris Rennert

I was using 8lb Seaguar Carbon Pro yesterday for fishing crank
baits
in
weed
beds with some trees all day yesterday. The stuff is
incredible.
I
never
had a fish break me off. I had to break off a coupel times by
hand,
and
int
he water the stuff is tough. I cut my hands a couple times when
I
had
to
break off for one reason or another. Hwne testing the stuff in
hand
the
knot seems to break like any other 8 pound line, but I can pull
the
boat
with it in the water. I am just so impressed with this stuff
its
unbelievable. I may even spool a couple spare reel spools with
this
stuff
in
6lb for fishing deep ultra clear water when I go to Meade or
Powell.

I have used this stuff in weights from 8 to 20 pound and its
pretty
amazing
stuff. Yeah its expensive buts its worth it. On my spinning
reels
I
have
taken to breaking off the first couple feet and retieing before
a
tournament, but I don't respool until the line level starts to
get
a
little
low to cast well. I haven't been disappointed by it even one
time
in
any
weight. The stuff is amazing. I doubt I will ever go back to
mono
as
long
as I can get it, and its available. I think I actually save
money
since
I
don't find myself respooling every time I go out anymore.

I use 15lb for casting / pitching wacky rigged stick worms into
heavy
cover,
and amazed my partner at pulling out 3 and 4 pound fish with it.
Its
just
good stuff. I do this with medium heavy fast action St Croix
spinning
rods.

I have a couple of my flipping rigs spooled up with 20lb. When
I
need
that
little extra distance or that little extra stealth I'll but down
my
rig
spooled with PowerPro and switch over to one of those rigged
with
CarbonPro.
Soemtimes it makes the difference. Especially when I'm fishing
out
of
somebody else's boat. I feel sorry for somebody fishing out of
the
back
of
my boat though. If I accidently back boat them or the wind and
curent
conditions prevent me from positioning the boat they are going
to
have
to
come up to the front deck, becasue this stuff pitches further
than
any
other
line I have used without going to a much lighter line.

Seaguar CarbonPro. Five Stars. Two Thumbs up. On a scale of
1-10
I
give
it a solid 10.
