[QUOTE="Fly Carpin, post: 153188, member: 1187"] Fluorocarbon has nearly the same refractive index as water, aka as close to invisible as you can get. To me that translates to being able to get away with using a heavier pound test. Small barrel swivel off the main line, piece of 20 or 25lb flouro, no-slip loop knot (aka Rapala knot), DH Custom rattle bait. I'd put that rig up against 14lb XT any day. Also if you're into chasing spring pike on a fly rod, 50 lb fluoro makes one hell of an invisible tooth resistant tippet. Oh and fluoro is superior to mono when fishing near coral. As one often does while ice fishing pike. [/QUOTE]
