Do most of you all use floral carbon for leader material only or do some use whole reel full of flour o carbon? Thanks in advance. Ed

Fluoro has a lot of memory, which makes it a little less optimal as a spool filler. At least in my experience. I use Fluoro as a leader, not as a main line. Seems to work well. Others may disagree, and maybe it depends on the brand, but that's how I use Fluoro, generally as a leader to my braided main line.

I agree with GLA, fluoro for a leader only!

I agree with GLA. Great as a leader, too expensive for main line. I’ve heard of people who do use it as main line. I guess on smaller reels. I have close to 300 yards of braid on my reels. A lot of guys will use 100 yards of mono backer, then the braid and then 30 or more inches of fluorocarbon leader.

A few yeare ago I went to Canada fishing and put fluoro on all of my reels because that is what the "pros" said was the line of the future. Nearly ruined a week of fishing because the line memory made things un-fishable. My buddy had some braid and I restrung enough to fish the week. Now I only use Fluoro only for leader.

Braid always on my pike and musky reels. Always with at least 18 inches steel leeder.
