fishing user avatarBalshy Fishing reply : 

Thank you all for the answers and feedback in the topwater and finesse presentation section! Please, continue to answer those if you haven't already to keep up some great discussion. Next, we will be focusing on fishing line

Everybody has their opinion(which they claim to be fact) on which fishing line is the greatest.

For this, I'd like ya'll to suggest ONE brand of each line. Mono, Fluoro & Braid

Monofilament: Suffix Clear Elite

Fluorocarbon: Seaguar InvizX

Braid: PowerPro Sprectra 


fishing user avatarpaultio reply : 

Mono: Sunline Super Natural

Co-poly: Izorline XXX

Fluorocarbon: Sunline Super FC Sniper

Braid: Seagar Smackdown/Powerpro Maxcuatro


fishing user avatarFishinthefish reply : 

Braid is power pro

Flouro is Tatsu

Mono is whatevers on sale because I only use it as backing


fishing user avatarDrew03cmc reply : 

Braid:Power Pro yellow

Mono:CXX

Fluoro:Red Label (leaders for the braid when necessary.)


fishing user avatarHogsticker reply : 

Mono - Sunline Defier. Simply no substitute. 

Fluoro - Seaguar Tatsu. Need I say more?

Braid -  Maxima ultra green braided line. This ones a real sleeper, and I highly encourage trying it. It's good stuff 


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

Mono: Berkley Big Game

Fluoro: P-Line CXX

Braid: Power Pro


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Mono: Berkley Big Game

Fluoro: Aint convinced why I need it

Braid: no brand loyalty; Power Pro & Spiderwire too stiff, most others to limp


fishing user avatarDamn Yankee reply : 

Mono:Cajun red , looks good on a black reel with gold spool.

Flouro:Yo-zuri hybrid

Braid:Cajun red, pick up a bunch at 10 bucks per 300yd.

I hate paying retail.

fishing user avatarMaster Bait'r reply : 

All I really need is CXX and Smackdown but if I did use a flouro again it would definitely be Tatsu.

fishing user avatarChoporoz reply : 

Yo Zuri and whatever braid is on sale - mostly PP and Cabelas RipCord8 (but it looks like Cabelas brand has changed, and I haven't used the new RipCord yet.  The old stuff was as good as PP and when on sale, far cheaper.)

Co-poly: Yo-Zuri Hybrid

Flouro: I hate 'em all.

Braid: Nanofil

Thought this was interesting. Two guys with many years of bass fishing under their belts and their personal preferences are nearly 100% opposite. Just goes to show there are many ways to achieve the same result. Neither line preference is right and neither is wrong its just what they choose to use or what has worked best for them. :thumbsup:

I am just glad we have all the options we have nowadays to pick what we like.


fishing user avatarscaleface reply : 

I tried floro and didnt care for it . Then I started reading about it . Florocarbon does stretch but unlike mono it is not elastic and does not regain its original propetries .. Once it is stretched you are literally fishing with damaged line . At least thats the way I interpret it .


fishing user avatarriverbasser reply : 

Can't believe y'all buy tatsu. That's just too much money for line IMO.

Mono- any version of trilene

Fluro- bought some and hated it. Using up what's left for the occasional leader

Braid- spider wire stealth braid. But after everyone on this site using power pro I just picked some up to try


fishing user avatarTodd2 reply : 

Mono: Big Game

Fluoro: Don't use it anymore but Cabelas was my favorite for the money.

Braid: I equally hate all brands.

 

 

 


fishing user avatarOklahoma Mike reply :

Copoly: McCoy Mean Green


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Monofilament:  Sunline Defier Armilo

Fluorocrbon:  Tatsu

Braid:  Smackdown

fishing user avatarCgrinder reply : 

Sufix Siege or CXX for mono. Shooter is my favorite fluoro but I don't normally shell out for it. Power Pro is the "best" braid but blue/green FX2 is the best looking.


fishing user avatarjitterbug127 reply : 

Power pro for everything. I'll use trilene leader at times


fishing user avatar"hamma" reply : 

Mono?,.stren green

flouro? just tried it this year,...didnt like it

braid? mostly use power pro in saltwater,.. but gunna give it a shot for frog type lures

 Stuck on green stren for all my bass fishing, maybe its a clearwater confidence thing
