It's a lot cheaper if you buy 100m or longer spools marketed at Carp
anglers!

I quite like the stuff - a 3 foot tippet of 4lb Fluoro attached to a
floating tapered leader won't sink a dry fly but will sink slightly so it's
probably invisible.

On a salmon trip to Scotland in September I used 4ft of 14lb Fluoro on the
end of my reel line and tied the spinner onto the Fluoro, not only could you
quite clearly see nylon in the water, you could equally not see the Fluoro -
I was the only person on the beat who caught fish (except the Ghillie!) all
week. Maybe it was the Fluoro.

I'm a convert to Fluoro, but not to the silly prices charged for 25m spools
aimed at game anglers.

the last day of Loch Lomond this year and i did like the way it sinks
with no 'mud' needed, if i am to buy some how long does it last, i
usually buy Maxima and throw it out after two seasons (or longer
frequently but one day a big fish will break me - I should be so
lucky) Any thoughts out there on this quietest of NGs at the moment.

A Happy Xmas to everyone out there and a great season next year.

Hi Ed. I don't have the answer to your leader question but thought I'd
reply
since you fish Loch Lomond. I'm local to the area and had a very
successful
season on the River Leven, and was thinking of getting the 'big ticket'
next
year to get onto the loch as well.
I just wondered how you thought the season went on the loch, and what
methods were catching fish?
