For the past three years I've been using 100% fluoro and I'm thinking of switching back to mono... Anyone have any other suggestions?
I usually have one rig set up for jigging and one set up for a trolling/ casting with a crankbait? Should I use different type lines on each rig?
For jigging,I use a Braid called Samurai.
It's very thin and great for casting .
I tip it with 1.5 feet of fluorocarbon.
I feel the braid lets you feel the slight bites better and the leader gives it the invisibility and the snap off capability.

I would stick with the fluoro on your jigging pole. It will transmit the slightest bump to your pole, much better than mono. With the light bite of the eyes I need all the help I can get.

rhybak and john thanks for the tips. sounds like fluoro in some form or fashion is the way to go.... I may try your setup rhykak with my slip jigging setup...
We use 4lb. Fireline smoke, no leader on our jig rods.
8lb. Crystal with 6-8lb flouro leader on slip bobber rods
10 or 12lb Braid with 10-12lb flouro on casting or trolling rods
12lb stainless steel wire with 17lb mono leader on Lake Trout rods
and 6-8 lb power pro with 6-8lb flouro for floating jigs
