[quote Potsy]I'm sure this has been discussed several times but I can't find any posts. I have 4 trolling poles 2 with lead core. 2 with 8 lb fluorocarbon for my down rigger. Is it personal preference on using mono or fluoro. I fish for kokes and trout just don't know about stretch or drag on the water.[/quote]
I use 17lb lead core on 2 koke rods with about 30 feet of 12lb fluoro, 2 downrigger rods for macs that have 15lb mono with a 14lb fluoro leader, 1 downrigger rod for kokes that has 15lb mono with 12lb fluoro leader, and 2 jigging rods spooled with 15lb braid and 14lb fluoro leader. I tried using braid on my 2 downrigger rods for macs 2 years ago and hated it, not enough stretch and too easy to tangle.
