Good Line For Spinnerbaits? 2024

livetofish28 reply :

I have my spinnerbait rod spooled with 20 pound bps xps braid. It works fine but the abraision resistance isn't very good at all, also i feel like the bait is not running as deep as it could because of the line. Any suggestions would be great thanks

nascar2428 reply :

You can add a Flouro or mono leader. I use 20lb braid with 10lb flouro, some guys like the extra stretch mono gives them. Both of them will help the bait run deeper.

skeletor6 reply :

Go with fluorocarbon 12 or 15lbs. You will get much better results and your bait will run deeper. I would never use braid for spinners FWIW

Teal reply :

I throw mine in 30# Spiderwire with 12#a fluoro leaders. If its really snaggy ill go up to 17lb fluoro leader. 30 or 40#a braid sounds right to me. Depending on how snaggy your lake is id go between 12-20 floro. The fluoro will help it stay down.

What size spinners are your throwing?

I normally throw 1/2oz and up... i throw a 3/8 every now and again.

livetofish28 reply :

I throw 1/2s usually

Teal reply :

Ok. Id either go to straight Fluoro or braid with a fluoro leader. I like Sunline Sniper for fluoro but Seagar makes a line fluoro called Abraizx, (i probably butchered the spelling)

it is a lil cheaper and is really tough....since you said abrasion is a problem for you.

Both are good lines

Edit: oh i almost forgot, why dont you go to tuff line (our new sponsor here) and redeem their free offer. You pay 5 bucks for shipping and you get a spool 20lb line to try out. You are already using 20...

quanjig reply :

Try p line. Cxx is floro coated. Nice sink, pretty good abrasion strength. 17 will work well, 20 if you are going with 1/2 oz blades

Felix77 reply :

I go with 15 Seaguar Invizx FC. I fish generally 1/2 oz spinners.

I was going to suggest this though not quite that heavy. It is way underrated on the package and generally breaks close at twice the label rating. (12lb breaks at 24lb). Also cxx is not flouro coated that's cx. Cxx is a copolymer though.

kickerfish1 reply :

As much as I hate to admit it Yozuri Hybrid in 12# should be a very solid and strong line for this technique plus very affordable. I know this line gets suggested quite frequently on here for many different techniques but this would be a good use for it. I am not fond of it for anything else like finesse fishing or bottom contact baits but on my dedicated spinnerbait rod I use a copolymer based line.

quanjig reply :

Ooops, thanks Justin, I was thinking co poly!

katmandew reply :

I was thinking braid was the way to go on spinners so that you get a better hookset. I have 30lb braid on a good MH to H powered rod with a fast action tip on my spinner bait setup. I think it helps reduce bad hooksets that lead to the bass throwing the bait. I do plan to use strikeback spinner baits this year for the first time.

DINK WHISPERER reply :

I was just recently debating this myself for my spinners. I ended up choosing two different set ups. One has 40lb braid for the slop and one has 15lb mono for more open areas.

jbsoonerfan reply :

I was having the same problem with running braid. I was running 30lb braid with no leader. I then switched to a 5:5.1 reel and kept the braid and I have been very happy with the results.

endless reply :

Another vote for P-line CXX. I use 15#

plumworm reply :

And another vote for P-line cxx.

loodkop reply :

I use 40lb braid to rip spinnerbaits through grass beds.

J Francho reply :

I use 12 or 15# P-Line CXX for this.

+1 with no leader if Im using the spinnerbait in open water I will use 20# braid. My rod of choice is a 7' MH-fast

Mike L reply :

15# Invisix or 12# Yo Zuri

OkeechobeeAngler reply :

Power Pro.

quanjig reply :

You guys go lite on blade line!? Do you get the bait just around the juice or do you really get it in there??

21farms reply :

i can't stand using straight braid for spinnerbaits...it's too limp and gets all wrapped about the wire and the blades. i am, however, very happy with 30# powerpro with 20# seaguar abrazx fluorocarbon leader or just straight 20# flourocarbon like seaguar red label. if you're fishing fast, heavy 20# line is fine.

shootermcbob reply :

I have used both yo-zuri hybrid ultrasoft #12 and berkley big game mono in 15 lb. and 20 lb. with good results with all three. I probably like the 20 lb. big game the best for spinnerbait fishing. Used it most of last summer with no issues at all, and the price is right.

ColdSVT reply :

I run flouro and my spinner bait and crankbait rigs all the time

15lb on my spinner baits and 12lb on my cranks...sometimes smaller if needed

livetofish28 reply :

I think the main reason I don't like it is the braid itself, the BPS XPS braid is flat and bleeds everywhere compared to Power Pro( which is what I have on every other setup) I might try some Yo Zuri also how good is the sensitivity, abrasion resistance, etc.. Thanks for all the input.

ColdSVT reply :

most braid floats livetofish.

unless I am buring spinnerbaits and ripping it through weeds I use.flouro

Jake P reply :

12 lbs yo zuri. Tough as nails!

MN_SONNEN_ANGLER reply :

I like trilene big game #15 for spinnerbaits but I pretty much just throw a swim jig wherever I would have thrown a spinnerbait in the past years. But for the money you can't beat trilene big game in my opinion...
