Probably Been Asked This A Lot But..... 2025


fishing user avatarSnazzySenko reply : 

What's your favorite line for a spinning rod? Brand? Mono? Flouro? Braid? I made the mistake of allowing someone else to choose my line and let's just say my last fishing expedition was not fun. Constant twists, bad memory, and bad memories for me lol. 


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

10-20 braid with a leader if you need it.


fishing user avatarmasterbass reply : 

20lb power pro braid with about 6 ft. of 8lb fluoro as a leader of your choice.   I like berkley fluoro or p-line.  Learn how to tie alberto knot or double uni knot for the leader.


fishing user avatarFelix77 reply : 

10lb PowerPro with a 6 or 8lb Seaguar Invizx leader if needed.


fishing user avatartholmes reply : 

Yo-Zuri hybrid co-polymer, 6-10 lb. mostly.

fishing user avatarBruce424 reply : 

I like McCoy extra clear.very little memory and smooth.6 OR 8 LB. POWERPRO superslick in 15 or 20 lb I like too. .Braid is nice because of lack of stretch and no memory. I just dont like catching fish on braid. Dont know, not use to it I guess. Caught a 12" perch on a tube and it felt like a 3 lber. Hah!. I wanna have it though for certain situations. two rods one with braid and one straight copolymer.


fishing user avatarTywithay reply : 

8lb mono or fluoro. I don't use the real cheap stuff either, as it only causes problems. I like Sniper or Tatsu for fluoro. Mono isn't as big of a deal. I like Super Natural most of the time. My favorite is Toray Bawo Polyamide Plus, but it's pretty pricey.

What they said. I will add that I really like the Power Pro Super Slick. Smooth as silk, casts great, great strength (except against rock), so I use a fluoro leader when fishing rock or gin clear water.

As far as line twist, make sure you are closing your bail by hand, every cast, and not by turning the handle. Not sure why this works, it just does.


fishing user avatarStingray23 reply : 

8-10 Seaguar Invizx fluoro. I might give braid and leader a try this spring.


fishing user avatarslainempire reply : 

8lb trilene sensation mono for finesse, 10lb bps excel for everything else.


fishing user avatarccummins reply : 

Either Trilene XL or Suffix Siege in mono for my spinning reels.  I keep the braid and flouro for my bait casters.  I do want to put some Nanofil on one spinner but with all of the mono I already have in supply it's just not in my immediate plans.


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

I use 20lb power pro, with a 10lb yozuri leader.


fishing user avatarBenB54 reply : 

I use 10# pp on two, 12# nanofil on another, and 8# berkley trilene xl pro grade 100% fluoro on the fourth.


fishing user avatarlmbfisherman reply : 

10 or 15 lb braid


fishing user avatarDarren. reply : 

Braid for mainline on all my reels, spinning gets 10lb, bait casting 20.

 

Leaders for all anywhere from 6-15 lbs, and mostly P-Line Floroclear or Yo Zuri Hybrid, then pure fluoro.


fishing user avatarGrizzn N Bassin reply : 

10 lbs braid. no leader or with leader. and i have a light 6 pound fluro


fishing user avatarMCS reply : 

10# sufix seige unless cover of fish size dictate I need 30# braid


fishing user avatarGot1Fishing reply : 

Berkley Trilene XL 100% FC that they just came out with--specifically designed for spinning rods. I bought some in 8 lbs and I love it more than the Seguar Ivisix I had on there before. It does have line memory but not as bad as Invisix. I also put KVD L&L on there so that helps a lot. 


fishing user avatargulfcaptain reply : 

10lb braid, standard power pro is ok but stay away from the slick braid, worse wind knots ever. But I do love it on my baitcaster's though.  And about an 8ft flouro topshot.  And always close the bail with your hand to help minimize line twists.


fishing user avatarChristian M reply : 

It depends on what technique/lure/rod im using.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

#6 Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Tatsu


fishing user avatarTeal reply : 

Yo zuri has grown on me
