I don't use flouro or mono on any rods any longer, except for leader material. My trolling rods, for Kokes, Lakers and Cutthroat are spooled up with 30lb braid then I used an improved albright knot to attach a 6' piece of flourocarbon leader material. I use 10 lb for Koke fishing and 15 lb for laker/cutthroat fishing. I don't have data, but I'm 100% sure my hook up:landing ratio improved for all species using the superlines. The superlines last longer than flouro/mono and are much thinner diameter than corresponding flouro/mono. I have not had any problem keeping the superlines in my downrigger releases either. Something to consider. Oh, and I still keep two rods spooled up with lead core too, but I only use them occasionally.
