mno or flouro for UL baitcaster?
what are the advantages of all mono vs all flouro when spooling an UL baitcaster? Don't want to go the braid direction due to spool clearances and not wanting to get line in that gap.

Re: spool for tatula 100?
Small plastics, spoons, and swimbaits (1/16 to 1/4 oz) for trout in the mountains. Hoping a 6gr spool allows me to get a decent cast off... Rod will be 2-8# 7'9" composite... hoping the package works.
