I'm as close as I have ever been. Sold off a lot of stuff, added a few things. I think I just need one more combo.

Been on the site a lot lately, thanks.

The two keys to fluorocarbon are to be very gentle when you pull out backlashes, and to really wet your knots. You are probably at the threshold of the breaking strength of 12 lb. Sniper with the equipment that you are using after it has been kinked. Use a lighter rod, lighter drag setting, or go u...
