Mickyj 3,205 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I need to replace braid on my symtre 750 . What Id like to know can one use Fluorocarbon instead of braid . Like to use it at present with soft plastics and perhaps hard bodies . Cheers mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
projoe 261 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Fluro is ok to use with plastics or hards but dont go cheap, better quality jap fluros they will cost more than braid. the other benifit of fluro is you can fish it straight thru. also make sure that line roller on the reel is in good nick & rolls freely.

HB tragic 743 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sunline FC Sniper will do the trick . A good inexpensive spinning fluro. Regards, HBt. Mickyj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brankim 945 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I do rate sunline aswell! Value for money, and beats especualy for diameter! As thin or thinner than the most expensive brands out there from what I've had to compare it to. I've heard it lacks on abrasion resistance... Hard for me to comment on that since I only used it for Y.F.W and carp... Keeps its strength for a good amount of time too after breaking off. I've been quite happy with this, though only had 1 snag so far, but got a lot of bream with very pointy teeth, and never had a scuff all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brankim 945 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sorry, 😄 does that sometimes... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brankim 945 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Suppose you need to look at the stretch factor for what rod type you have... I don't pay enough attention to that mysef! I've found that helps if you have a stiffer rod, it's better to have some stretch (not as much as mono with longish leaders. But softer rods, I like very low stretch, as it helps for hook setting power when you can't get tight enough to get a good strike in with those ones that catch you sleeping😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brankim 945 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 That improved vanish 3lb definately let me down most of the time on my stiffer rod on carp barbs! And in 4lb... But good on the soft rod in 3lb. Awesome in every other way though! Didn't need to change it much after a lot of medium, 50-60cm carp. Not much discolouration after busting it in snags still good strength ater at least 4-5 of them, I'd say. That can be big problem when fishing 2lb like I'm guessing you're Gona Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickyj 3,205 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah I would have thought 3 lb was too light getting told 3 lb is the way to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brankim 945 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'm thinking of trying 2lb when I get back... When I get my birthday present Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brankim 945 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 You can also buy another spool and keep you're braid just incase you don't like it, or are unsure I've got spares on all my reels, with thicker, mono and Fluro. Gives you a lot of options, and helps if you get spooled! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mickyj 3,205 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 yeah im totally confused lmao Brention may be right and stay with braid . Brankim i normally have two spools with each reel . the syemtre came with mono on one and braid guess i got some thinking to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
