I understand the different X nbrs for tippet material. Where I fish the water is pretty clear. I have been using 2 lb. Maxi ultra green mono which was recommended by the boss at the tackle store.
A. My question now is what about this florocarbon line for tippet material? I could go up to 4 lb. and not run the fish off and have the extra strength in case I would get a big fighter. They tell me that 4 lb. mono scares the fish off.
B. In my last post someone mentioned laying the line on the water and watch for a shadow on the bottom of the stream. Would florocarbon line be better in this case?
All opinions and comments appreciated.
