Where do you buy your fluoro?

[greenscales]

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.
