How often do you change your flourocarbon

[matrixx611]

I heard that flouro is stronger than mono, but how often do you replace it?

[whammy]

after every trip...maybe couple times a trip if i caught a few yellows or albies

It does not stretch as much as mono or is as strong. But you only have 3-5' tied into your mono so changing it should not be an issue.

I fish straight 6 lb. flouro PLine on my small bait caster in the bay. I have it 1/2 filled with mono and 1/2 with the flouro. Less than 60 yds, I guess. I try not to change it that often. So I could go 12 - 15 trips without changing it.

However, I'm really good at backlashing and the small line can get caught in the reel and cut so I may change it much more frequently. Maybe more like after 5 or 6 trips.

I wonder what is recommended.
