    Default Fluorocarbon


    Learned yesterday that fluorocarbon line doesn't get along with iced up guides. Lost 3 good fish before I could net them yesterday. Any opinions?

    Try spraying your line with Pam. Seems to prevent a lot of icing.

    I never have trouble with Berkly Vanish Flourocarbon line. How was you losing the fish ? I seldom use a net either.

    One broke at the jig and the other 2 broke at the end of pole 10' from jig. 10' ozark rear seat rod can't hardly lift 2lb fish into boat with it

    I use 8 lb Berkly Vanish Flourocarbon on 11' Ozarks forward seat and ask Bowhunter what he has seen. Gar 4.5 feet long , large German Carp , and 23 lb Drum landed on it. I will swing small fish (2 lbers ) in with no net. You need to check eyes to see one is not cracked causing abrasion or when did you change it last ? What line and weight are you using anyhow ?
