Why do you say screw floruo?

I told you in the other thread, if you use braid exclusively for cranking, you are limiting yourself. Why use a parabolic rod and then a no stretch line?

Also, I don't know about you, but when I am throwing a bait that dives down to about 10', and throwing it into some heavy brush or rock piles, my baits get hung up... With Floro I can atleast know I can snap it off close to the bait and possibly get the bait to float back up. W/ Braid your not snapping it, your cutting it near your rod, loosing a bunch of line.. Not only are you loosing a $10 bait, your loosing $10 in braid too...

Braid is not the ideal cranking line.

I crank a lot , it is my favorite technique for smallmouth and after trying different brands of fluro i stop on p-line and never look back.I like both 100% fluro and halo but i fish more the halo for cranking it seem to be \:D/ \:D/ a bit more sensative.
