Which line to use?
 

Which line do y'all use for your crankbait rod braid or fluorocarbon?

floro. but i dont mind mono because the crank will get that line down and i like the stretch of the mono

I like fluro if u r trying to get more depth out if the crank, and throw it on a fiberglass crankin rod, mono good for the strech like Armand said.

First you need a Haynie then get you a Waterloo and throw mono . . . . . ALL DAY BRUH

Im no bass fisherman, but my father is. For medium and deep divers, he uses a 7'11" medium rod with 12lb co-polymer I believe, and a 7' for square bills and shallow divers with the same line.

I use mono in 10ld and 14ld
the size line helps get it to the right depth, 8-10ld line gets it down the deepest 12-14 ld line keeps it in a mid range and anything heavier will keep from it from going down and dampens the action.

What in the world is ld line?:rolleyes:

Cajun ... Being sarcastic on his 9th post on SC ...... I already like this dude !

Hugo said 40lb Big Game

"misser brad I gotta new string"
" yeah? You realized u ain't gonna catch trout with 100lb power pro"
"yeah misser brad I gatta 40 lb big game"

Lmao Hugo is a trip

Neither..........stick with mono. Only thing I use braid on is a 7ft Heavy flipping stick for thick $%!+

I use 10lb mono big game

Use 20lb fins braid for topwater and corky fishing only

And you can friggin launch a big 6xd a mile with 7'11" crankin rod!

Thats what he says! He got the rod for christmas and loves it.

I started using flouro on the causeway 14 lb I think, box is gone so not xactly sure...
I like it; don't fray as much as the mono rubbing aginst the pylons.

Normal fishing I use 10 or 12 lb big game. Bought a big spool of each from academy this past fall.... Won't need line for years!!

Power pro 15 lb for top water with a 15 or 20 lb leader 6-7 ft long.

Bass fishing I use power pro for jigs , frogs and top water.

Mono for spinner baits and buzz baits & shallow crank baits.

Flouro for deep crank baits or rattle traps

Why u put a leader on when throwing a topwater plug???

He can doo dat bruh

leader 6 or 7 ft long w t f??? Just spool up with mono....
Reeling in s leader knot will mess your eyes on rod up

Leader is only tied about 12-18inches long

I guess u CAN do anything just don't see the point... Hopefully it ain't fluro leader cuz that would cause your plug to nose dive ... Fluro sinks...... COME on BRUHHHHHH

I fish with a long leader n never have guide trouble. But I do it to save time , when my line gets chaffed close to the bait I just cut a few inches off instead of re tying a UNi to UNi knot

Knot gonna mest up recoil guyds just sayin.....

Shock absorption. That power pro don't stretch...


W I know what u saying but I tie line to line. Don't use a swivel.
The knot is very smooth and passes thru the eyes with no issue. If it catches in eyes when I let the bait free fall I retie the knot and get it smooth.

I think we over think line as fisherman......
My grandad hauled in more pounds of fish then many of us could possibly top and he fished with Ande' 10 pound for everything from bass, the redfish and all in between.

I fish the smallest diameter I can and I change often.
big game is my favorite, it's consistent.
It's amazing what you can boat with just 8 pound line.

Re
 

Lol, it's mono
I accidentally used flouro once and my bait looked drunk!!
Took a while to realize I had tied on flouro.

I dont know crap about no recoil guides BUT I've been tying a leader on for years n never had a problem

Re
 

If u can step on a recoil and NOTmess it up.... How's a KNOT gonna mess it up?

What am I NOT understanding??

Your right I have been using 10lb test for years.....I have caught up to a 50lb gar on it..if you have your drag set right you can pull a shark in

^^^^^^

That's how them dudes catch tuna & sail fish on 12 lb line.
Crazy stuff there!!

Thanks guys. Clear as muddy water. Lol

No kiddin' lol

Lol. Yup. I see that most use light line which is something I haven't been doing. I guess I'll try the lighter line.

mono... 10lb to get it where it needs to be. braid only through grass/thick stuff.... i.e. rippin rattle traps, jigs, swim jigs. fluoro only for finecky fish or finesse baits like shaky heads, carolina rigs.

Agree
 

I use 12 lb all around. Braid on Carolina, jigs, worms, traps. Mono for everything else. If you want the bait to run deeper, go with 10 lb flouro.

Agree
 

I use braid on carolina to the swivel. then fluoro leader. I made the mistake of spooling a whole reel with fluoro a few years back. didnt know you had to condition the line. that shtuff faded quick and had memory to boot.

Me too.
