i fish spectra with a flouro leader, i just feel more confident because of the invisibility factor. i know how u feel it used to take me forever to re tie but after a lot of practice i can tie it super fast

I had 30lb spectra on my 300 for quite a while. I fished it straight. Never had too many problem. Its a pain when you get snagged, but I usually got my bait back, just with straightened out hooks. I stopped throwing it after I snagged a 75lb bat ray in the bay though. I could get my line to break and it smoked my reel. I had to rebuild it.
