What kind of fluorocarbon are you using. A little off topic but related....at least 75% of the fish I've caught this year have been on 1 of 4 very similar rod/reel combos. At first I thought it was the lure which was the DB Smelt, orange with black dots. That's a very common and popular lure so I switched it to another rod/reel. Anyway, the same rod kept getting the lion's share of hits. I've been stumped for weeks but this past Saturday I had a possible "ah-hah" moment. The rod getting all the hits has a Seaguar 6lb test fluorocarbon leader. The other 3 rods have Seaguar 8lb test. Does anyone agree or disagree that a 2lb delta in the fluorocarbon could make such a difference?
