Cheap flourocarbon

There’s a tackle shop down here on Big Pine Key that has a deal on flourocarbon. If you supply an empty spool, they’ll fill it with any size flourocarbon for .25 a yard. I don’t remember what brand it is but I’ve used it before and have zero complaints and haven’t found it anywhere else cheaper. I’m going to get some of my spools filled tomorrow and will check on brand and what sizes they have. I do know that I’ve gotten 30, 50, 80 and 100 lb there before but I’ll update this soon with what’s available.

50 yards of any size flouro = $12.50
100 yards of any size flouro = $25
etc.

If anyone’s interested in getting some, give me a holler and we’ll figure something out.

(**()! Way to support the local shops…in Florida that is.

With that being said is there a local shop that you can get flourocarbon at those prices?

One in every crowd. Sad when someone can’t offer to help other folks without someone being a smartarse. So hears my smartarse comment, I don’t have any jig skinz but thought it is a cool idea and would’ve bought it if I had the need, now I won’t. Sure it won’t break your bank but every little bit counts. It amazes me how rude folks can be on this computer, most would not dare be that rude to someone’s face.

True Dat. It’s not like Rap was suggesting anyone go to Wally World. Seemed like he was just trying to help out fellow fisherman. Dang, every little bit helps. Rap, are you back down at Sea Base?

Courtland gives back more than most…I think you are taking his comment the wrong way…I’m sure if Rapchizzle was back in Charleston he would support the local tackle shops…

I know Rap would support the locals if he were here.

Maybe I should have said- Have you found this material to be superior to other brands? Are you going to offer free shipping if I want a 100 yard spool? What is the knot strength compared to Yo-Zuri or Seagar?

It just struck me as an odd post as to how this would benefit anyone involved. Knowing Rap is good people, I figured I’d bust a few balls.

Check the post count and read the history. I have given enough to bust chops once a year…

Here’s an idea… If you didnt want any maybe you shouldn’t have said anything? Post counts are grand and glorious if you’re into that kinda stuff. I’m sure you do a lot and I read your post and others daily. I usually enjoy them but I just don’t get the comments sometimes. Someone is gonna say well quit reading if your feelings get hurt that easy. They don’t, just if someone smarts off to me to my face like they do on here, we would have a problem. Carry on kids I’ve said my peace, good fishing to all!!

Fastdog, you’re being a dick to people who have been around here and know one another based on assumptions.

Courtland, appreciate the advice on the jig rod.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Salty, a fella tried to make folks aware of what he considers a good deal. Someone who obviously didnt want any part of that deal was as you say a " dick" toward that guy. It’s ok for someone to be a dick to someone offering help but not okay for me to be a dick to a dick. Glad he helped you with your rod and he’s your buddy. I’m backing into my fore skin now.

Haha wow…

Rabble, rabble, rabble, get your panties out of your asscracks fellas.

The flouro is Berkley Vanish, I believe. I know there are better brands and whatnot out there but this stuff works well for me.

Shoot, I just lost the “Asshole of All Time” award…

crap…

I gotta admit it, he’s a better man than me.

I just enrolled a few of you guys in sensitivity training next week and the other half in anger management. Looking forward to seeing all of you in class…

For those interested, that is possibly the worst flourocarbon I have ever tested. I made some bluefin leaders out of #80. They all had mainline failures around #35. Good thing it was on the bench when they broke, not the boat.

I will admit that was 2 years ago and maybe it is of better quality now…
