Flourocarbon...



















Tonight I did some research on flourocarbon lines. My research came from tackletour.com, The results are interesting.
The top chart compares the strechiness of the lines. 10 lb gamma FC and 10lb seagaur invisx are the definit losers in this category.

The middle chart compares tensile strength or breaking strength. The 12lb Maxima F C broke at 16lbs of pressure and the 10lb Gamma Edge FC broke at 14lbs fo pressure.
The bottom chart compares the abrasion resistance compared to regular 12lb trilene XL. Toray Super Hard was the winner in this category.
I will let you take what you want from these comparisons but I am very pleased with Gamma FC but in the future I might try the Bass Pro Shops XPS Flourocarbon as well.

As the majority of you that read this know, the weather has been extremely nice lately here in southern michigan. Yesterday I had the opportunity to take a couple of friends out on the water with for some fishing but most importantly some R and R. While we were fishing we had the opportunity to witness a deer swimming across Lake Colombia. You can double click the image to enlarge it.
