Headed to Roosevelt to scout out a few new habitats and try a few old familiar ones. On the water by 7:30am and off by 2pm. Got skunked on crappie, sort of knew it was gonna be that kind of day when the first 2 spots came up blank. Caught several nice b@ss and had 2 lines break from something huge (probably catfish) just take my line and run before I could even get the rod out of the holder or correct the drag.
I have braid/fireline connected to my 8lb fluoro liter and had the 8lb liter break multiple times throughout the day. Is there a particular brand you guys recommend for the liter line? Are not all 8lb fluros the same?
Also, I couldn't remember how to tie that darn alberto knot so that was annoying I kept taking out new rods instead of tying new line. That exposed how bad my backup rods/reels are. And it exposed how my knot tying skills suck. It takes me sooooo long to tie.

How was launching? TNF ramps closed?

Hey Mat. After a year or so, all mono and fluro get bad and Will easily break. Buy new.

We use Sunline Sniper in 5 and 6 lb. test and have very few break offs. We tie it to our braid with the refined Alberto knot. No problems. .....Art

I have had good luck with, Seaguar Red Label in 4, 6, 8 lb test depending on application . I have noticed no issues with aging on line strength . perhaps due to , I do not store line in any area subject :thumbsup:to prolonged exposure to Sunlight or High Temperatures, ( boat is stored indoors )
