What line do you guys recommend for a crank bait rod? Mostly likely will be spooled on a Tatula or Curado I.

I've been using invisx for about a year and try not to use anything else. Oddly enough, if I MUST use anything else I go for p-line fluro.

x2.......I like copolymer because sometimes I'll throw a topwater with my rod if I don't have another since I'm a bank beater.On 3/21/2014 at 9:31 AM, tomustang said:12lb copoly

frogflogger reply :
Anyone use the sufix crank bait line? I think it is mono but haven't used it or know anyone who has
roadwarrior reply :
#12 Sunline Super Natural
J Francho reply :
Some lines that I like:
Invisx
Tatsu
CXX
Suffix siege
Silver thread Excalibur
YZ Hybrid
jacob95 reply :
Tatsu has really caught my eye but is it worth the price tag?
5dollarsplash reply :
Sunline Super Sniper or Yo Zuri Hybrid are my staples. I've really tried to simplify line this year by sticking with these two, too many brands and differences within the same brands between lines. Once you find something you like, I'd recommend sticking with it. Curiousity led this cat to a bunch of half full spools.
jacob95 reply :
I'd be interested in possibly buying a half spool or two haha!
J Francho reply :
After trying many different fluoro lines, yes Tatsu is all that. If it's too pricey for you, Invisx is a very close second.
jacob95 reply :
No its not too pricey. I don't mind paying if it's good. If it will help me feel bites and improve my ratio then I'm all for it.
Arv reply :
30# braid, 12# mono
custer reply :
I don't use braid on cranks b/c I've had too many tear off. I like the stretch of mono, it allows the fish to suck it in, and has enough stretch to handle jumps etc...
I will use flouro on extremely clear conditions (Late summer etc)
I like the Sufix TRI+ (8, 10, 12) or seguar red label 12lb....

Although I don't use fluorocarbon for this particular application, it is my go-to line for others.
Tatsu is the finest line I have ever fished.

The right rod will prevent those tear outs. What happens when you have sixty yards of line out and one hits it? Strech...... oh he came unbuttoned cause I didnt smoke him.
Flouro for me, is made for leaders. and putting one on a crankn rod with 8lb diameter braid defeats the purpose.

simple answer is yes.... use backing and only put 65 yds of tatsu on each reel , you get 3 reels that way
On 3/21/2014 at 9:53 PM, roadwarrior said:#12 Sunline Super Natural
that is what I have on my squarebill rod........ I dont have a true verdict, but I think I am going back to tatsu even for cranks
bucketmouthbeatdown reply :
How do you know how much line you are putting on the reel? If I use backing and then 65 yards of (flouro, etc.) how do I determine approximately 65 yards?
FrankW reply :
Hi Bucketmouth,
Here is one way you can wind on the right amount of line.
1. Take all the line off of your reel and take your rod/reel and a 100' tape to a local park or any place with some grass.
2. Measure out the length of line you want to use and cut it from the spool of line.
3. Wind the line on to the reel with out tying on. Just a short piece of tape.
4. Now go home and wind on the amount of backing you need to fill the reel.
5. Now remove the backing to a spare reel or spool.
6. Remove the line form the reel to a different spare reel or spool or lay out on the floor if you don't have a cat.
7. Connect your backing and wind on to the reel.
8. Connect the line to your backing and wind on to the reel.
This should give you the exact amount of backing and line you want on your reel. This can be easier if you have a winding device of some kind and spare spools. The basic idea is to wind on the line and then the backing to get the amount you need and than remove both and wind on in the correct sequence, backing then line.

in post 18 in the linked thread I post 2 link to past threads outlining backing methods.
bigbill reply :
My only thought is that the higher test line is stiffer and can influence the action of the lure. Make sure your line is soft and very flexible so it's not too stiff.
I use 8# to 10# test plus a snap swivel so I gain more side to side action of my crankbaits. To me the more action the more rattle and noise it makes.
Jon G reply :
Either a 12lb fluro or 12lb copoly i would even use a 10lb copoly if it was a thicker diameter line like CXX
