what is everyone using for fluorocarbon line these days? mainly going to use the fluorocarbon for tying my own spinner harness for Lake Erie walleye next spring. was thinking 14 lb test but open to other suggestions. looking for brand suggestions and what lb. test. thanks in advance
I use Seaguar Red Label 15lb or 10lb
I use it as roughly a 5′ leader tied for braid for jigging in walleye Canada. Nearly invisible and very sensitive – easier to break if you snag up. I think I just have Suffix – I’m not a huge Flouro guy, otherwise.

For that use the fluoro leader material and not just flourocarbon
I just use 4, 8, 15lb seagur Icex for leader line. Maybe I should be using true “leader line” but what I’ve tried is s stiff and hard to tie with it leaving coils.
I’ve been using Daiwa J flouro and the Suffix yellow label, and when I use it for light applications it sucks. My knots break too easy, or line to line knots wont clinch well enough. This year Im going to try a few different brands and see what I like better. Honestly for leaders my favorite has been berkley vanish as any weight seems to tie about the same. Yo Zuri is on the menu for this next season, and maybe some seaguar.
It’s said that fluorocarbon isn’t ideal for spinner rigs because it sinks.
