rods and flourocarbon

[mikeyb]

tried fluorocarbon trace for bass( called poltergeist) and it snaps like cotton,lost a couple of fish due to its poor knot strength. Can anyone recommend a good one.
Also the question of rods: has anyone any thoughts on the Daiwa TDXS 133 PM? I have a STS13M but would the TDXS be better?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Ive experimented with several different flurocarbons and havent been impressed by the knot strength of any of them.Ive reverted back to using mono or the pre stretched low memory stuff.

I now only ever use Orvis Mirage Fluorocarbon Tippet ( www.orvis.co.uk/store/product_choice.asp?pf_id=46T3&dir_id=441&group_id=456&cat_id=5007&subcat_id=5431) it is the best I have found so far and has never let me down unlike some other brands. If you can't get it locally you can order it on line from Orvis.
