Strike King Tour Grade Fluorocarbon
Description and Application: Made from the highest quality Japanese fiber, Strike King Tour Grade fluorocarbon is optimized for maximum extreme fishability. The company has spent years working with the industry’s top pro anglers to develop a brand of line that anybody can depend on. While line seems a simple component, it’s what keeps you connected to your fighting memories, may as well make a good investment. The Tour Grade Fluoro is available in 8-, 10-, 12-, 15-, 17- and 20-pound tests. Also available in 200-yard spools for $29.99 .
Staff Perspective: I use fluorocarbon for moving baits like crankbaits, spinnerbaits and vibrating jigs, and I sometimes like it for skipping and cast jigs into grass when in a clear-water situation. I like the shock absorption and near invisibility in the water—also note that fluoro sinks, so it’s not likely the best option for all topwater applications. But it’s forgiving and reliable, and that’s a big selling point for me.
Cost: $79.99 (600-yard spools)
