MONO TO FLOURO

**brantc** · Jul-01-2005, 02:37 PM

why don't you guys call eachother on the phone and argue...might save you some time.

I don't think of it as a argument more of a discussion and some might learn something. Obviously not you but maybe others.

I must deduct a point from you now.

people one size up thier flouro because it breaks closer to its rated stregth than mono ie.... 80# Flouro will break right at or just before 60# Izor

main line: 50lb spectra
topshot: 80lb J.B. Hollow with fluorocarbon inside and crimped.

I posted before I saw your post. take care. You just made my ignore list and lost a point.

This message is hidden because dalurker is on your ignore list.

Yo; I attach a flouro leader to mono using the surgeons knot. Has never failed. I tried the uni-to-uni and it wastes a lot of leader and was difficult to tie because flouro is so fucking stiff. I've used Seagaur for ever. Good luck.

i like to tie knots too

Perfect idea

Ron (Tsuriya) was invisable for most of the trip........he tied that Seagaur knot as fast as anybody I've ever seen......and killed a shitload of fish as well.

I tied the same knot as well as the Double Surgeons.......fast , clean and mean..........10 lb above and your eating.
Aquachico is right on target.....as usual

Hey Ron,

How the heck you doin?

DaLurker-
in ZZZZZZ's question he's asking you was what size fish have you caught to support your arguement about uping one line size using mono-flouro?

your answer above states catching a Yellow Fin Tuna using a jig...

so my question to you is ---- you use flouro leader to skip a jig???

if so why would you need to do that??
never seen anyone do that before

I have got to agree with B-RADDDD on this one...
ZZZZZZ's has fished with F LoPreste, R Rose and D Choate... some of the premiere long range guys on the west coast!!!! If these guys say NOT to move up, then who am I to question... makes perfect sense for STEALTH!!!!

If it works, then let's kill fish with it...
