@kierenrussell3719 2 года назад

Always been a bit uncertain as to when to use braid/straight-through FC, as well as what brands to use, this cleared it up a lot! Can also stand by FG knots, they are amazing! Particularly with spinning and baitcast rods that have very small eyes on the runners where other knots will get caught up!

Great video again Byron ! Very informative 👍 I haven’t really got too into the straight through FC yet , but can defiantly understand the benefits in certain situations. Particularly on spooky Bream on flats. I would go for 3 x spools of the FC Yamato leader in 4lb and 2 x spools of 3lb Spinning Fluro . That would suit the type of finesse bream fishing I like to do.

@wingitmissionfishingoutdoo6647 2 года назад

Thanks for the info mate. Still keen on using braid to FC and getting used to going smaller line size to increase the bite. Still find im a bit heavy handed so a 6, 2x 8, 10lb , then a 4lb when i get aventurous out of my comfort zone. Interesting on the shelf life situation as i have binned a new spool of leader due to breakage and it took me a couple of trips and fish to realise it. Your vid has explained this.cheers mate

@peterauer6113 2 года назад

I now have two of my reels spooled with 6 and 4 lb FC. one is an Exist the other my new Revelry. Totally get the better reel longer rod combo to give you the best chance of flicking the lure far enough to fool a fish. Also a great bit of advice in regards to trebles and pulling the hooks with the braid FC combo. I use my straight through FC reels with Hard bodies only .Thanks for another great Vid.

Great informative vid as always Byron. I actually tried 4lb straight through FC on one of my smaller reels a few months back. I didn't mind it, though a very different feel to braid and FC leader and took some getting used to. Keen to rig up some more straight through on other reels so I’d be keen on 2 x 4lb and 1 x 6lb in the Sunline FC2, then maybe 1 x 4lb and 1 x 6lb in the Harris FB leader. Sweet - thank you!

@jac_fishing8833 2 года назад

Really informative Byron I've enjoyed my time with straight through fc I heard great things about the Daiwa Finesse in 4lb and I was able to put a serious amount of pressure on it Was really inspired to give it a crack thanks to Adam Costa, in saying that I've always found myself picking up a braid/leader combo for bream Casting distance for me is everything and find that the fish aren't too spooky with the line shadow in my system but also never really put in the time for analysis to really see how much is does affect my fishing If I won, I'd love 4lb,6lb,8lb in Daiwa Jthread fc as I've found it being the leader I predominantly grab to tie on.. love it!!

Great info again, I haven't tried straight thru FC yet, though I have been considering it, Wasn't sure which one to get so congrats, your vid has convinced me to give the Daiwa product a go. I have used the Chinu Harris in 4lbs and it works well.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

awesome to hear Steve! hope you get into them mate.

@stevegray4012 2 года назад

Hi Byron, you might be interested in the results of my leader material testing, which is not an exhaustive test, and was to determine if buying the advertised harder FC had any real benefits. Tested 6, 8, 10, 12lbs Berkley Vanish in casting FC, 6lbs Nitlon leader FC, 8lbs Yamatoyo Chinu Harris leader FC. The test I did was to determine abrasion resistance as opposed to being cut. Hard should last longer than less hard. My test showed that abrasion resistance is weighted towards hardness, or put another way 2 lines of equal diameter wear through at a different rates under the same load. Softer casting FC didn't last as long as harder leader FC if both were the same diameter. The 8lbs Chinu (0.235mm) lasted 24 passes while the 6lbs Berkley(0.230mm) lasted 16 passes. The 6lbs Nitlon (0.218mm) lasted 17 passes.

@wattoak6666 2 года назад

Great info again, agree with the over spooling of FC, started straight through last year and had issues with bird nests. Found the FC straight through really helped with top water helping keep the treble hooks in, even though they say use mono for top water. I would go with 6lb and 8lb of the leader and maybe a 4lb, just not sure if I could handle the fish well enough, and a couple of 6lb j-thread finesse fluoro.

@danielmurphy2805 2 года назад

Great vid mate. Very informative. Haven't used straight through FC for years but you've got me wondering now 😂. If I win its got to be 2/4lb 2/6lb and an 8lb Yamatoyo Chinu Harris Fighter leader. Its great stuff.

@alexmarti7684 2 года назад

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

@calebsandercock8538 2 года назад

I like tasline as my mainline braid the 12lb is thinners than most 10lb line. I then put on anything from 8lb to 12lb FC leader. I have never really had a favourite fc leader and have used a wide range from Sunline, Wilson, Ocea and blackmagic. I am very keen too find a leader that I like more than others so that I don't have to think about what brand to purchase each time. I am keen to try your fav one out whether I win or not. I wld also like to try straight thru fc but need to get another set up as I am happy with my gear as it is now. Always look forward to you releasing content and really like the way you banter. I too have been a sucker at times buying gear i see on youtube only to find I regret it as its not as good as i thought and the left wondering if the you tubers stitched me up. For some reason I trust your advice, well done brah!

Hi Byron... I'm happy with 6lb fluoro works well for me on Bream I step it up to 10lb when chasing flat fish .

@matthewfielden8972 2 года назад

+1 thumbs up for Chinu Harris from me too - switched a while ago and its great stuff. Would not say no to a re-stock in the 2 - 6 Lbs sizes! I run Sunline Sniper on two of my reels as straight-through and still trying to get used to it with the odd bird nest. Good quality FC and the right rod make fishing hardbodies a breeze.

Hi Byron my main fishing outfit for Bream spinning in the Sydney basin is my Shimano T Curve Premium 7'2" 21TCP722SPL rod with a Shimano Vanford 1000 spin reel spooled with the Gosen W Hard type 8 casting braid at 10lb at an unbelievable 0.4PE!, as any thinner line I get air knots with wind.. My fluorocarbon leader is a little hard to get in Australia and its called Seaguar Gold label at 6lb with an amazing 0.185mm diameter (if I compare this to the Sunline FC Rock 6lb line which is thicker at 0.205mm and the FC Rocks 5lb is thicker 0.190mm!) Seaguar Gold label fluorocarbon leader is sold mainly in the US and is considered America's top of the line fluorocarbon leader. I need to be very finesse at Port Hacking due to the crystal clear clean water and it being a high pressure fished river within the large city of Sydney. The rod, reel outfit is light as a feather and casts at forever distances, the Gosen braid casts even better than my old line of 6lb 0.4PE Varivas Avani Light Game. I tried a Shimano Stella 1000 reel with this setup but it felt a little heavier and the balance was off than the Vanford so I went with the lighter Vanford reel. I like the tech side of the talk you do, thanks for the interesting information.

@rileyg7742 2 года назад

@Tnk2yc 2 года назад

Great explanation Byron, my favorite straight through use to be nitlon Dfc in 4lb and 6lb but it virtually non existent nowadays. Only thing that was annoying was a decent flathead hitting the lure then trying to play it for 10 minutes so it didn’t pop the line. A combo of 4 and 6lb would be nice to try. Cheers mate 👍🏻

@Andz_88 2 года назад

Straight through FC is something that I haven't thought about for a while, after having some bad experience with bird nests in the past with straight through FC in the first few casts, I decided not to use it anymore. Seems like as you mentioned in the vid, it will need 1-2 outings to get used to and let the line take the shape of the spool, I might give it a go again. As for me, 4lb straight through and 4-10lb on the leaders would be good.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

awesome dude! 100% it happens, its all good. go for the underspool!

@bwip2033 2 года назад

Funny that you put this video out as I've been trying to search for a good FC leader to use having dropped a couple of trevally on 6lb in the estuary over the last week (one right at my feet trying to land it). I'd definitely be keen to try out lighter leaders to see the strike rate increase while breaming. Unfortunately I only fish from the land atm so lighter leaders aren't as kind to me but I also want to try out straight through fc for a whiting setup. 4lb straight through and 4-10lb on the leaders sounds like the way to go I guess? Thanks for another great vid mate

I would opt for the 5 rolls of FC Leader, 2 rolls of 8lb, 2 rolls of 6lb, and 1 roll of 4lb, cheers Byron. 👍👌

Another ripper Byron. I am still in the braid with fc stage looking to expand to the straight through. Would be awesome to gain a couple of good quality 4lb and 6lb and a single 10lb for the bay.

Ive always liked berkley vanish. May not be the best on any one point but covers all bases well. Seems to be a good midway between supple and hard abrasion resistance. But i also rate the j thread. The brand i see get the most hot air blown up it is that FC rock stuff. Bloody rubbish! But i havent tried the one you recommend, so in the interest of experimentation and discovery id like to try it. So if i win, id like 3x 4lb and 2x 6lb please. Cheers, keep up the great vids. Really appreciate the openness, bluntness and honesty. Sponsorship and marketing make purchase choices very hard at times.

Thanks Scott! Entered legend and I agree with your assessment in FC Rock.

Hey Byron! Not sure if the comment o wrote posted.... Apologies if there are 2 here! Love the idea of running straight through, but was always a bit shy. I'm going to give it a crack though now! I'd love some 4lb spinning fluro, and a set of 4, 6, 8 and 10lb of the traditional leader fluro to try out! I'm DMing Hot tackle to get a price today!

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

all good dude!!!

@maintrain6114 2 года назад

I'm always a braid and leader type of guy, not very keen on full fluro. Plus, I like matching my braid to the colour of my rod/reel to make em pop ahaha

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

hahahaha, I love this! legend

@Cimmeron 2 года назад

Thanks Byron, I’d love the Sunline FC2 in 4lb and 6lb And the Harris fighter in 4, 6, 8lb I’ve been using fc rock and really struggled with knots consistency in the 4lb. Cheers

@grantthompson4180 2 года назад

Interesting stuff. Not sure I'm quite brave enough for 3lb and 4lb main line just yet, so I'll stick with the 6lb braid! I'd go for leader fc, with a couple each of 4lb and 6lb and an 8lb for chasing flatties.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Hahaha, entered Grant!

Been fishing braid with mono Knotted with FG knot. Never fished Fluro before, keen to try it if I win

@stephenlatimer1428 2 года назад

had to smile mate wen u said the lightest fc u use is 3 to10 being the heaviest. my lightest is 20 up to 60. doesnt matter if u r using light medium heavy fc it all acts n reacts all the same. pleased u talked bout under spooling the spin reel with fc, thats important info n if u dont know this it can make a sesh frustrating. i under spool my spin reels by 5mm, remember i am using heavier fc. something that seems to help me wen i respool my spin n casting reels with fc i tie a heavy clip(not lure or hook)n spool it out while on idle at the start of the sesh. i will do this a couple of times over a couple of seshs. it just seems to help with the spring/coil tension in the fc wen casting n it performs pretty gud for fc after that. i am using 20 to 60 so 3 to 10 it might not work.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Hhahahah, thanks for sharing your thoughts dude, I’ve heard of people doing something similar with mono, haven’t thought about trying it with mono.

@johnathonLawrence 2 года назад

Straight thru 3lb fluoro has increased my numbers on the flats by heaps.... I've got 5lb of the daiwa stuff for my crabs/structure cranking. Great vid as always mate, if I win I'd love some 3lb and 5lb straight thru and the rest in 4lb yamatoyo chinu Harris leader 👌🏽 I've been using that leader for a few seasons now and definitely won't go back to the brittle fc rock in the light stuff 🤙🏽

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

yeww! hey Johnathon. Yeah much better product imo dude. straight thru 3lb is bloody good on those tough bite days!

@duanesfishn 2 года назад

Been toying with straight through FC or ages. Great to get advice that will help get the best experience that will help let me know if it’s for me or not. Have a heap of 50m spools of FC, so spinning FC for me.

@hawrey9201 2 года назад

I would love to have a crack at straight through but I just love fishing fluoro to braid via FG is hard to try anything else . I have been finding it is so hard to get quality leader at the moment because I feel the shops are struggling to get stock so end up just stocking what ever they can get .. rarely see 3pound in stock but 3,4,5,6,8 is where its at I reckon .. just my 2 bob as a hack lol .

@joelhealey4523 2 года назад

Would love to spool up a reel with fluro and throw some hards and catch some fish

@joediesel8267 11 месяцев назад

Hi Byron, I am getting into the lighter style of estury fishing I am always having trouble snapping my Braid-FC at the knot when casting. The knot always gets caught up in the eylets and is usually snapped by the 5th cast. I have tried double blood and F knot. Note: It is not the knot that is failing, failure happens just after the knot in the fluro

@andylamb4093 2 года назад

No way! I just told my friends about the Daiwa J Thread finesse fc earlier on the same day! I’ve been using 4lb straight through Sunline Shooter Invisible for bream when kayaking around structures. Great high quality line. I have recently tried the Varivas Ajing Master Blue Moon fc straight through 2.5lb for catching small tailor, whiting but I did catch a 40cm flathead and 37cm trevally with this 2.5lb FC lucky me😄. I do agree that straight through fc not so ideal when fishing plastics as it’s harder to set the hook properly. In terms of choice of good fc leader, Sunline FC Rock probably is the ‘go to’ one when I don’t see the need of being too specific. Gosen JUDE has to be my no.1 choice of quality fc leader , anything from 4lb to 20lb . Tight lines!

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Thanks Andy. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

@ricco181 2 года назад

I tried to put straight through fluro on my 2500 reel but it just felt like it would not hold the reel shape like braid does it hugs the reel. Whereas the fluro feels like its trying to escape off the reel haha.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

100%, typically happens for the first session or two. You may be spooled a little loose????

@JaymieJones 2 года назад

Great video and information as always. Would be keen to try other brands of leader. I’ve been using black magic for a long time, so far has not let me down. Maybe I should give something else a go. Don’t know what you are missing if you don’t try right?

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

yeah man 100%, I'd totally try different brands and totally have. I was using some of the heavier black magic over in NZ for a few days. 16lb I think it was, seemed to do the job ok :)

@kensingtonchubbs6191 2 года назад

Was really keen to hear your thoughts on FC leaders and this video absolutely delivered, will have to give straight through FC a try with my hardbodies. I've been using the chinu harris leader myself in 4lb and have found it to be work wonders, and I would be very happy with 5 x of Harris in 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 lbs. Also, have you found a difference in the amount of bites you gets with lighter lines? Cheers!

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

awww yeah! a man who know what he wants. yes, the lighter lines do get you more bites... you also loose more fish :)

@jimmywaxx1 2 года назад

I've used fc before straight through and liked it but strayed back to Sunline super pe. I just like the feedback too much. It's for sure a bias for.me, I've caught many more fish on my braid combos so I am more comfortable with it. Usually fishing 6-8lb
