Get yourself some wrist sweat bands from amazon or ebay, soak them in lake or drinking water or whatever and whack em over the spools before you set up, after about half hour it makes the world of difference when using fluorocarbon.
I now use sinking braid and still do this for the first chuck

SURELY ??? That is totally pointless with fluorocarbon line as unlike mono line it does not absorb any water it would do absolutely nothing you sure its not just your imagination ?

Probably just acting as a lubricant on the surface of the line.

Definitely creates less slap with flouro
Or just spray with an atomiser or old sauce bottle

That's all I do with braid, keep my old cilitbang spray bottles and just fill with lake water and spray the spool.

Maybe it's not absorbing water as such but just coating it. I definitely notice a difference if the sun has been on the line and it dries out, noticed it with the berkley stuff more. When it was raining yesterday the line was going out silky smooth. I reckon there's logic in keeping it wet for whatever reason

i have used gardener flouro line treatment which lubricates too similar to kryston greased lightning, it definitely helps distance.

100%
100%
I've always soaked Fluoro over night before spooling up .
100% softens the line and makes it less lively.
I'll leave the science to the rest of you.

Really good thread this, boys.
I've used Tiger Line, almost exclusively, for the past 8+ years. Can't get it for love nor money atm. Will probably give the Gardner version a look.
A mate of mine, who knows his stuff, recommended the PB Products Ghost fluro. It's seeringly expensive, but he says it's the best he's used, in terms of suppleness.
Very good read, this. Thanks.
