Where do you buy your fluoro?

[King Saba]

I'm running low and 20-35 bucks for 25yds of seagur seems a bit steep to me. Where do you guys prefer to get your line?

Amazon - 12$ for 30 lb

Seaguar STS is a lot cheaper.

Charkbait sells 100m spools of fluoro for like $30 or something too. It's pretty good.

Thanks Denis.

I buy 250yds of PLine Flouro or similar for like $19 at a LTC, can't see spending all that $$ for 25yds of the other stuff.

100 yard spools. You do get a price break and you decrease the amount of times that you end up with a 2 ft piece of fluoro at end of spool that you don't know what to do with. . It is painful forking out a big chunk of money, but a 100 yard spool will last most anglers a season or two. Like mentioned, you get what you pay for.

Buy from any locally based chain or dealer that supports CCA and the like. Otherwise you will have a ton of great priced leader material and no where locally to fish it because the online vendor working out of his mom's basement in New Jersey or or Nebraska could give a rip about the CA government closing the area we fish. It might cost 20% more, but wait for a an event or and sale and then stock up. Longfin in Orange, Sav-On Tackle or Perfomance off the 605, any Turner's, Fisherman's Landing, etc. They all do manufactured sponsored promos, support the product and have better local knowledge. Find one you connect with and with fellow kayakers as patrons or employees. Then ask when the next sale is. Fluoro lasts a long time when stored right.

I have not had problems with PLine in years. I have Seaguar as well and both are good products with good reviews. You can pay top dollar if you want, but then I hope you aren't using it with an Ugly Stick

For most on kayaks and for most set ups - short top shots - for live bait or surface irons, I try to measure where the fluoro
To spectra knot will be just passed the tip
When I cast - usually somewhere between tip to reel and tip to where the blank
Meets the top of the cork/hypalon.

I have a few rigs where I use a Seaguar castable Fluoro - Abraz-X 25lb - I think 200 Yards - on some older, weaker star drags w/Spectra transferred from other reels that were getting low (TLD 15/30, SL 40) to create some hybrid rigs for fishing mid depth jigs (6X JRs) or dropper looping baits. The fluorocarbon coated lines can last a few seasons, more abrasion resistant than mono, etc. End up costing less in the long run. If we ever see pinhead anchovies for Albies again - that might be the rig of choice.
