We are off to do some fishing in very clear water

 

The recomendation is to use fluorocarbon traces to the lures

 

Which ones are popular

Why do you use that one

And where do you get yours?

 

Thanks guys

Bournemouth Fishing Lodge - 20lb Berkley Trilene (gold spool) or 30lb Trilene BigGame (big donut type, black and white spool).

 

I expect Neil stocks them at Wessex too.

What you gain in not being able to see it under water you lose some what in knot strength with fluorocarbon

If you are looking for fine, abrasion resistant and good knot stength look at Seaguar.  I use it for all my saltwater flyfishing in hot places. 

 

It's not cheap but very reliable.

Thanks Rob

Was thinking a bit stronger than 10lb mate, lol

Popped in to BFL, they have 10 20 30 40 50 & 80lb

 

They called Wessex and they have 40, 50 & 60.

 

If you want me to pick some up, before Thursday, let me know (it's 17.99).

Only buy what you will use in 12 -24 months.  It gets brittle with age and will let you down! I learned the hard way with Berkley Trilene bassing with 20lb .

Hi Charles

 

I swear by vanish I can only get on line now it doesn't look that good out of water but when it goes under it takes on the color of the water it's out fished all the others on my previous experiments !!!!

 

Tight lines (u lucky 💩)
