You know I think float lines in general have their application, but they are not the Mode apparatus for all situations and truth be said when you drop and perhaps chase a fish you take your floatline down with you...OK true may just tangle less, OK may just hang up less, but in my experience I've seen little difference where we hunt in Miami b/t a float line and my weedwhacker line- it jumps off my spool, never tangles, its cheap, it cuts thru the water with zero drag...not to name one better than the other, but I've said it before and say it again different applications for different situations and a lot is based on what you are use to using and feel confidence using...my 2 cuban centavos
