What kind of line to do you normally T-rig? 2024

pauldconyers reply :

Talking about on a baitcaster here. I am not talking about punching or flipping a jig or something. Say on a 7' Med Fast rod and a reel with say 30 IPT. I am talking about T-rigging a worm, hula grub, a rage bug, possibly something with a little more movement like a fluke. You using mono, fluoro or braid? What pound strength? Is there a prevailing thought here or is it all just personal preference?

Mike L reply :

16# Sniper in moderate cover

20# Shooter in heavy cover

long island basser reply :

Personal preference: for what you describe Id use 14/16 sniper for light to moderate cover.

MN Fisher reply :

Light to moderate cover I shoot with my Trion loaded with 12# FC

Heavier cover it's the President with 20# Braid...no leader

matbellon3 reply :

30 lb braid to a 12-16 lb fluorocarbon leader dependent upon the type of cover.

scaleface reply :

My worm rod has 17lb clear blue fluorescent Trilene xl . Its .015 inches in diameter . When line watching I like the lines that glow from UV light then disappears under water .

Jrob78 reply :

12-17 pound fluoro, depending on what rod, bait and cover, another vote for Sniper.

40# yellow Power Pro with 8-10# YZH leader

This is how I do it too around anything besides grass and pads. In the grass & pads I will just go with straight braid to eliminate additional snag points.

50 lb (easy for me to see) Yellow Power Pro and 12 lb Big Game mono leader.

I gave Tatsu a try this fall and I swear it breaks more easily then a comparable diameter Invizx. I wonder if the added stretch from the Invizx is making it seem stronger? I keep meaning to test them with a luggage scale but have never gotten around to it.

Hmm....

I have NEVER been broken off using Tatsu.

Oh, I meant when breaking off when snagged. My goal last season was to become more fearless when fishing jigs, so I ended up breaking off a lot of 15lb Invizx. When I switched to Tatsu it seemed like it took less force to break it off, but I don’t know how much stretch affects my perception of how much force I am putting on the line.

jbrew73 reply :

I never lost a fish on Tatsu but it did seem to break off easily when I was snagged. I stick with sunline sniper 14-20lb for bottom contact presentation.

Revival reply :

30lb Sufix braid to 12lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid.

redmeansdistortion reply :

12lb Big Game. Big Game is about the only mono I use. Strong, tough, and cheap. The memory is excessive for some out there, but I haven't found it to be problematic.

J Francho reply :

What line I use depends on what I'm fishing. I'll tie up a T-rig on any of my setups, which could have anything from 6# fluoro to 80# braid. General purpose would be 12-15# fluoro or 50# braid.
