A ugly divorce.
I am sick and tired of all of the cussing,screaming and loss of fishing time.
No I am not talking about my wife, I still love her after 32+ years.
I am talking about fluorocarbon line on my spinning reels. No matter how hard I try to eliminate line twist and watch for those annoying loops ( manually closing bail by hand ) they seem to happen as soon as I let my guard down. I think it has a mind of its own. Casting distance is reduced as well, I swear I hear it laughing at me as it struggles to go through the rods guides. Sometimes just as I think I can learn to appreciate it ( love the sensitivity ) it will spit out one those knots twenty feet from the lure, thus wasting about 6 dollars. So Therefore I end my relationship with this line on my spinning reels. I will continue to use it on my baitcasters and for leader use as well. I feel better already.

Don't give up on her.
Don't give up on her. Renegotiate your relationship with your Fluoro. See my recent Blog. It's an approach you may want to consider.
Thanks Walt. But she's
Thanks Walt. But she's driving me to drink. Even if I do put to much line on the reel, not to worry after 20 minutes of fishing I will have the right amount left. After a couple hours of fishing, oops I mean frustration I may have enough left to tie my shoes. Lol
A suggestion I would
A suggestion I would recommend that I do would be using braid to fluro. Spool your spinning reel or baitcaster with braid 10Lbs for dropshotting is what I use to 7lbs fluro. Then tie a uni to uni knot with a 4 foot or so leader. It gives you better hook setting power and feel the bites better. Aaron Martins has some great videos for this on youtube. If your spooling your whole spole with fluro you just shorting yourself strikes.

Thanks Tyler.
Thanks Tyler.
I will check it out, I do use braid to flouro for crank baiting. Didn't think of that for dropshotting,iwas still using strait flouro for that. My main problem was with strait worm fishing. Thanks again for the tip.
