Seaguar STS for pretty much everything flouro...

 

[DoesItFloat]

Seaguar STS or Maxima UG, whichever spool is in my waders.

I don't think that I have ever used Fluorocarbon to sink any line or leader. I'm of the old school of fly fishing. A "bb" shot is what gets my line down under the water, or a weighted nymph. I thought you all knew, I fish on the cheap way.

I don't think a whole lot of people use it for it's sinking characteristics, maybe some hardcore dry line guys. I do consider it when I'm fishing a dry fly and use mono in that scenario. The STS really is quite abrasion resistant and basically invisible in gin clear water, not that I think steelhead are super leader-shy, but, you know, confidence.

When it came to steelhead fishing, I was a fan of Maxima (which we called cable). Nowadays I primarily fish stillwaters and am sold on Flouro .... and right now I'm into Rio but have used Climax and Umpqua in the past and they worked fine. I do use Seaguar in heavy weight sizes for LMB fishing.

For mono I'm a big Maxima guy.

For flouro I'm a fan of Pline CFX

Just steal it from bass Pro like you did your name. Fake ass hog wannabe.

I've been enjoying trout hunter fluoro for nymphing, and tippet section for dries on mono leaders.

That was a spooky fish. Landed a small polar bear fur Clouser near him in very skinny water.

I was present at the first orientation.

 

[Jacob Watrous]

Salt, still, or flowing fresh, it’s hard to beat a mix of Maxima Chameleon and clear fluoro.

 

[Dustin Chromers]

Harvest Oriented Gamefishers? Did I miss something mate? Sorry SOP, you can have HOG back in a month when I can change my username and probably not come back. we don’t have bass pros over here, but heard you got one close enough.

Whatever you unoriginal lazy minded schlep.

We both used chameleon in the same criks.

True but I've always been partial to ultra green. I'm just still only halfway through my bulk spool of fifteen pound brown stuff though.

 

[SculpinSwinger]

Maxima Chameleon #12

 

[Rob Allen]

Ultragreen for steelhead 8-12 lb depending on conditions.
Trout well it just doesn't matter I usually use powerflex fluroflex if smaller than 5x. Like I said trout fishing just doesn’t matter enough to try to figure out anything better.
