I use berkley vanish for Fluorocarbon, and you can get up to 12lb test on what I call "pony spools" (not sure if that is the actual name), but they are the smaller spools that are about the same diameter as your tippet spools you buy at a fly shop. They print the diameters on the spools and I matched those up to my Maxima spool kit. If I remember correctly, 2# is 5x, 4# is 4x, 6# is 2x, 8# is 1x and 10# is 0x. Way cheaper than buying frog hair FC or something and fits on tippet bars or whatever you call them.

I had a nice weekend despite this week's rain and cold fishing Spring Creek outside of State College, PA. I had originally intended to fish Penns Creek, but most rivers in that area were blown out. A friend of mine that I had met up with used an interesting set up - it was a drop shot nymphing rig, but instead of using fluorocarbon tippet to make the rig he just used a larger (and cheaper) spool of Fluorocarbon line meant for a spin fishing rod. The fish didnt seem to mind at all - does anyone else prefer using line to tippet, or see any potential drawbacks to it?
