I`ve been using strens flourocarbon in 20# for flipping and 8# for my dropshot set-up.It may coil up a little bit when its brand new but after a fish or two it comes off the spool nicely.I also feel it is comparable to braid for strength and sensitivity and excels in invisibility and abrasion resistance.You saw that info cooch gave me,it was good advice I`m glad I gave it a try.He recommended a couple of other manufactures of flourocarbon along with stren one being segui and I cant remember the other.To me the braid also seemed to kinda float which sucked when flipping a senko or anything weightless,where as the flouracarbon sinks faster not hindering the action of the senko which makes a difference in the amount of bites your going to get.Anyway just my opinions,good luck.Andy why dont ya do some highland with us on monday,show us how its done.:7
