    Neither. Lately I've been using seaguar fluoro for my casting and jigging rods, its very thin and very silky smooth which is needed for fishing the small stuff. Still mono on the bobber rods!

    I've always used mono and have caught a lot of fish but thinking about going to fluorocarbon.

    stick with mono, you'll loose fewer fish. If fishing very small stuff (1/32oz) deep (20 foot +) i will sometimes use berkley Crystal line. very thin, very sensative. 99% of the time, mono will put more fish in the boat.

    X2 that's my set up as well.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

    With skeet on that one, same set up and as stated above on those cold lite bite days you can feel everything in the deep stuff with the braid.
