[QUOTE="poolie, post: 208550, member: 837"] Haven't used mono in many years, though there are situations where it's the right line. All but one of my setups has fluorocarbon, my frog rod has braid. As others have mentioned, the key to keeping the cost down is to use the cheapest mono you can find as a backing line and only have the good fluoro/braid for the last x number feet of line. The amount of good line can vary based on the usage of the rod. What I normally do is spool up with the cheap mono. Tie on the heaviest lure I'll be using with that rod and go out in the yard and make the longest cast I can. Pull out an additional 25 ft of line. What's left is your backing. I buy my fluoro in 1000yd spools which is expensive up front but is worth it in the long run as I can get about 4 to 5 additional spools since there's no end of spool waste. [/QUOTE]
