Seaguar CarbonPro Rocks!!!!!!!

I was using 8lb Seaguar Carbon Pro yesterday for fishing crank baits in weed beds with some trees all day yesterday. The stuff is incredible. I never had a fish break me off. I had to break off a coupel times by hand, and int he water the stuff is tough. I cut my hands a couple times when I had to break off for one reason or another. Hwne testing the stuff in hand the knot seems to break like any other 8 pound line, but I can pull the boat with it in the water. I am just so impressed with this stuff its unbelievable. I may even spool a couple spare reel spools with this stuff in 6lb for fishing deep ultra clear water when I go to Meade or Powell.

I have used this stuff in weights from 8 to 20 pound and its pretty amazing stuff. Yeah its expensive buts its worth it. On my spinning reels I have taken to breaking off the first couple feet and retieing before a tournament, but I don't respool until the line level starts to get a little low to cast well. I haven't been disappointed by it even one time in any weight. The stuff is amazing. I doubt I will ever go back to mono as long as I can get it, and its available. I think I actually save money since I don't find myself respooling every time I go out anymore.

I use 15lb for casting / pitching wacky rigged stick worms into heavy cover, and amazed my partner at pulling out 3 and 4 pound fish with it. Its just good stuff. I do this with medium heavy fast action St Croix spinning rods.

I have a couple of my flipping rigs spooled up with 20lb. When I need that little extra distance or that little extra stealth I'll but down my rig spooled with PowerPro and switch over to one of those rigged with CarbonPro. Soemtimes it makes the difference. Especially when I'm fishing out of somebody else's boat. I feel sorry for somebody fishing out of the back of my boat though. If I accidently back boat them or the wind and curent conditions prevent me from positioning the boat they are going to have to come up to the front deck, becasue this stuff pitches further than any other line I have used without going to a much lighter line.

Seaguar CarbonPro. Five Stars. Two Thumbs up. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a solid 10.

Bob,

I will have to agree with you 100%, I have been using it for about 3 years now for steelheading and have started using it for bass this year. I have not used heavier than 10 yet, but I will probably spool one of my flippin rods with 20lb just so some extra umph! in clearer water. The breaking strenght is amazing, and if you ever use a ligther fluoro leader check out Seaguar Grand Max, that stuff is really amazing, very expensive ($15 for about 30m), but as leader material only it lasts quite a while.

Take care,

Chris

Be careful, if fleurocarbon has one downfall it's that it doesn't hold up well in short-line scenarios like flippin. It tends to snap on the hookset at close range.

IMHO there's no need for fleurocarbon while flippin anyway.
