Best Spinnerbait Line? 2025
ChrisWi reply :
Fished P-Line this year it was okay. What does everyone else use while Spinnerbait fishing. I fish a lot of open water so a nice soft line helps casting distance but still need low stretch for good hooksets. Opinions? Thanks
BassSlayer71 reply :
I have Fluro on all my reels but need to try to fix that this year. With that said, I used Fluro Spiderwire and did just fine all year with spinnerbaits.

roadwarrior reply :
Very affordable, strong and "user friendly" #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid
My favorite: #20 Tatsu
Money saving alternative: #30 Tournament 8/ #20 Tatsu leader
Catch and Grease reply :
I use braid with spinnerbaits, but a lot of the way more experienced anglers are gonna come here and tell you to never use a spinnerbaits with braid...
IMO it makes it a lot easier to get a good hook set even on bass that are barely getting the spinnerbait...
Raul reply :
Spinnerbaits don´t fly very far, they have the aerodynamic properties of a kite so changing line isn´t going to help much, if I were fishing a lot of open water then porbably I would fish with Hybrid 10-12 lb.
BTW, P-Line is a Brand, you are not telling us anything other than which brand you are using, is like saying: "I fish with Berkley".
ChrisWi reply :
all of the P-Line is pretty similar. I was using CX though.On 11/19/2014 at 12:56 AM, Raul said:Spinnerbaits don´t fly very far, they have the aerodynamic properties of a kite so changing line isn´t going to help much, if I were fishing a lot of open water then porbably I would fish with Hybrid 10-12 lb.

After trying many of their products, I'd strongly disagree with that statement.
I use CXX or 15-20# Tatus, and 17# AbrasX for spinners.

ChrisWi reply :
Can you explain the differences than to me? C21 has more stretch and less abrasion resistance I noticed. Thats about it
J Francho reply :
C21 and CX are pretty similar, though CX is a fluoro coated line, and sinks. C21 is a blend of softer nylons, and has low memory. CXX is a very tough copolymer, consequently has some memory issues, but relatively lower stretch and freakish abrasion resistence when compared to the other two. It also floats and knots hold best with this line. I can't remember if C21 floats or not. C21 is supposed to slot in between CX and CXX. I didn't really find any use for C21 or CX in my fishing. Any handling issues with it are resolved with KVD L&L. I don't use it on spinning, nor go below 10# size.
Raul reply :
CXX is a tuff copolymer ..... that´s an uderstatement. 
That line is almost undestructable, In the 8th day The Allmighty said: "LET THERE BE BASS FISHING !" and the South was created, in the 9th day The Allmighty said: "Oh well, let there be a tough line to ketch them southern big mommas" and CXX was created. 
PitchinJigz reply :
I like 17lb. Seaguar AbrazX for my spinnerbait rod. I throw spinnerbaits around submerged timber, fallen timber, and I search weedlines with them so I like the extra abrasion resistance.
OntarioFishingGuy reply :
I use 30lb braid with a mono leader.
Tmmytomato reply :
There is no BEST. It's always a matter of opinion. I like Berkely Trilene and P-Line Fluoroclear and Sufix Elite and Sufix Crankin' Line. There are many affordable mono and copolymer and a few affordable fluorocarbon lines available. Pick what you like, whatever handles well on your reels, has decent abtrasion resistance (not much of a factor in open water) and good knot strength. If you are happy with the P-Line you're using then stick with it. Don't think the grass is always greener soomewhere else. There are dozens of pros and they're all hawking different brands and types of line - they get paid to do that. And there are a lot of good ones. Find what you like, can afford and handles well and go for it!
Sam reply :
Chris, you just opened a big can of worms.
Everyone has their favorite spinnerbait line and test.
Here are my two cents:
1. Any line will do - it is the line's test that will cause problems.
2. Always spool some braid on your spinnerbait reel first and then tie on the regular line, be it monofilament or fluorocarbon.
3. Spool the line on the reel in a counter clockwise manner running the line through a conditioner if possible.
4. Don't over fill the spool as the line will pop off.
5. If the line twists or pops off the spool, loosen the drag and pull the line out. Do not open the bail or you will have one big mess on your hands.
6. Just remember, no matter the brand of line you will get line twist. Comes with the territory.
As for brands, I love Yo-Zuri and have used other brands - just name one.
Since I use so much line by respooling after every other adventure on the water I have decide to use the Bass Pro Shop 8 pound fluorocarbon line as it is somewhat inexpensive and I can buy a big 1,000 yard spool.
However, in tournaments I have been known to slip Seaguar on the spinning reel.
Remember, no matter what brand you select make sure the line test matches the spinning reel and rod's parameters.
And the lighter the line the more line twist you will encounter.
It is just part of the game so always bring two extra spinning reels with you when you venture out to make a fast change when necessary.
Sam reply :
Oops. Thought you were talking about spinning reel setups and line.
It is late and my glasses are dirty!!!!
For spinnerbaits, I use any brand name 12 pound fluorocarbon line.
Dont' get caught up in the brand vs. brand fight.
Just remember to look at the rod's parameters for line test and bait weight and have some fun.
long island basser reply :
I switched to 30 lb power pro ( no leader) this year, had my best year on the spinnerbait in over a decade, absolutely love it. Did use mono prior, you can forget that now.

DTack reply :
I like mono for spinnerbaits... Fluoro would be great but generally I'm throwing it because it's windy and there are giant gusts... Which don't mix well with fluoro or braid on a baitcaster. As a specific I go with 12-20 lb maxima
Raul reply :
Old school basser my rear end, we old school bassers use Berkley Trilene Big Game, cuz we got hair on the chest.On 11/19/2014 at 9:06 AM, greentrout said:

I'll use Fluoro, I really like the Sunline Reaction, it's got a bit of give to it. A budget option is always Seagaur Red Label!
iceintheveins reply :
10 - 12 pound mono for 1/4 ounce spinnerbaits in lighter cover, and 14 - 20 for 3/8 ounce baits and up in heavier cover. In light cover with heavier spinnerbaits you are fine with 12 - 14.
