Blood Run Fluorocarbon

[cheeseyrider]

Was wondering if anyone uses Blood Run Fluorocarbon for leaders and how do they like it ? Usually use Seagur for brown trout but if BRF is good, more line for the money. Thanks Also what lb test do most people use ?  Lighter line for clear water I know. We usually use 12- 15 depending if fishing deeper or salmon are around

Its all I have been using for 12+ years. I love all of their lines and I cant say enough. 

8-15# for Springtime fishing. I typically have colored water so I prefer heavier line because I can get away with it and the threat of Spring Kings..

I run heavier leaders on riggers and my divers and lighter on my flatlines

i thought the whole purpose of using fluro was so you could use heaver line without spooking line shy fish. if 8# fluro is invisible wouldn't 15# fluro be just as invisible?

 

I went to 20# seaguar premier leader line for my leaders trolling the very clear water in the central basin and I have never looked back and didn't notice any less hits than I was getting with 12# fluro leader. i did this after having 2 huge fish break my 12# leader in rough water.

Invisible is maybe a bit too much. The refractive index is close to water, so it's tough to see for sure. IMHO, stickbaits in particular run better on light leaders using an appropriate loop knot like the Rapala knot, which used to motivate us to trend lighter.

 

That having been said, we don't fish spring browns much anymore, and 20 lb fluoro is what we use on our DRs, with 30 lb for dipseys and 40 lb for leaders off SD and flashers. Seaguar and Blood Run for us.
