Clear water doesnt always equal flourocarbon

It might come as a shock to you and the fishing world, but just because the water is gin clear in most lakes this time of year, it doesnt neccessarily mean you have to use a flourocarbon or monofilament line. Now application of your lures, and what rods you are using will dictate if you will be fishing mono, but if you are going to be using anything heavier then 12 lbs test, you might as well just tie on some 65lb power pro. I feel the fish are less line weary due to it being early in the year and they havent been pounded by lures so you can get away with fishing the heavy stuff confidently. Another plus is that you wont break off on fish, hardly miss a bite because of the sensitivity, and when you go to set the hook, you know that it will be set home cause there is no stretch to worry about. Try it out, Im sure you will have more success. If you use nothing but spin casters and finesse all your fish, the 8lb diameter 30 lb will work great for fishing flukes and senkos and even tubes. I use it when skipping docks or in shallow brush, cause thats where these fish hang out this time of year, especially on black lake when the water gets up to 54 degrees...
