K9 Fluorocarbon Reviews

[Dropshot]

Has anyone used it and can provide feedback? Curious to hear reviews about it. Understand it is not 100% Fluorocarbon, but has a few nanoparticles to reduce stiffness in the line.

Ive tried 10lb 12lb 14lb. It is a great handling, casting line. However it is closer to mono than floro. Way too much stretch for me, doesnt have the feel either. Very good line for spinning gear, top water, cranks. There is a reason it is priced so much cheaper than any other floro.

Thanks Carl for your feedback. I was thinking of trying it for top water and crankbaits.

IMO, a little bit of stretch might be good in a flouro. You know- when you got a big girl next to the boat and she makes a run for it? Might be good for cranking. I'd be concerned about abrasion resistance and knot tying abrasion. . Might have to try some

ive tried the 12lb for cranking and its limp for sure, . i currently have the 20 and 25lb test that im playing with its limp as well, its smaller diameter than mono of the same lb strength. im still playing with it and really havent formed a final opinion.

Tried out the 4lb for crappie last weekend, stuff casts a mile and seems to be manageable.
If you pick some up make sure you unravel the right "tag" end, or you'll feel like a dummy after 20' of wasted line and think you got a bad spool. Ask me how I know haha.

I would be okay with a little bit of stretch. This has a lot of stretch. Close to mono. And the sensitivity suffers because of this., but like i said, it is great on cranks, and topwater.

Cool. Thanks all for your feedback.

If it is a true fluorocarbon, it will sink making it undesirable for top water.

I saw a conversation where the company owner said it was not 100% Fluoro.

This product is not 100% Flourocarbon which gives it the improved castability and less memory. The line is a smaller diameter than most and much less expensive, but it does have some stretch. He also has a fantastic braid line in 10, 20, 45 and 60lb; you should give it a try, I have found it to be very strong.

In stock at DJs Marine!

I've used K9 for eight months 12lb is great for crankbaits and I like the 17 for swinbaits and worm fishing. Good line for the price.
