Fluoro-carbon is supposed to be invisilble in the water and I think sinks faster, so maybe this has more to do with it than anything. At one point I hooked up with 5 fish in a row all caught on the rod with Fluoro- my other two rods and my dads three rods were spooled with Stren 6lb and P-line 6lb, they didn't get near the bites.

Could be other factors I guess, just an observation on my part. I had enough success with it that I'll continue to use it.

Brad,
Thanks for the info! Interesting!

Tom that sounds good, let me know when the water temp gets up in the upper 50's and we'll sure give it a try. I've got rod-holders on the my rig so I don't mind bringing mine up. I've never done real well on the Crappie on Malone, but haven't seriously gone after them much there either. I used to frequent the Lake once a week back during my pursuit of Green Carp. You'll just have to let me know when your having the next fish fry. lol!
