I'd love to find some 1lb fluorocarbon in a shop near me. I'm jealous.
I'd use 1 lb if I could, but eyes and fingers ain't what they used to be. 2 lb is the lightest for me.
i find this all hard to believe.. i got 2 pound last year and couldnt even tie a knot with it..what knot yall using that can hold 5 pound bass and 17 inch walleye? do you think my retailer just gave me old stuff from a few years ago or what?!?!? it was ice magic brand i believe ..i loved how light and silky it felt,and the jigging with it was awesome but first fish i got with it was a small trout while sight fishing and snapped it off in the hook set.
I never use more that 1lb line for panfish. Most of the time I use Thread. I have noticed a HUGE difference in # of bites vs 2 lb line. I did a test w/ 2 pound line and Thread, same bait, same jig (gill pill) at the same time in holes within 1 ft of each other. And got almost 2X more hits on the one with the thread. Might be a concidence, But I have the most confidence with thread. I have not had any issues with Knots breaking, I use the Hook Snell knot b/c it retains 100% of line strength. I hope this helps out. RB
What kind of thread do you use? Could you post a pic?
Singer sewing thread or any clear sewing thread for that matter. It has a smaller diameter than 1lb test.
I'll be honest, I rarley find any of my ice purchases near me...I would say 90% of my purchases are on-line nowadays, i use the local shops to pick-up the last minute add-ons. The on-line stores can afford to carry larger selection of baits and lines as they do not worry about floor spacedont get me wrong, if my local shop brings the goods in, I will support them, but if not i will buy on-line
