spectra? i would never use it for a jig/cast application, that stuff is such a pain for so many reasons....expencive, doesnt cast well, hard to get out the backlashes and gets damaged easily..
the only time i use spectra is when fishing in the kelp or trolling next to the kelp, even then i will put about 150yrds of 30-40mono on first as a backing, then put ~200yrds topshot of 50-65 spectra, this saves some $green$ and also keeps the spectra from cutting so deep into the spool.
also spectra to flouro/mono use an albright (sp?) knot.
