Hey guys im new here but not new to bass fishing. I love fishing jigs so i want to know what line you all like to use when fihsing them yourselves? I know some use braid and some use flourocarbon. I prefer flouro and have actually never used braid before. Oh and i mean like open water fishing not pitching into heavy brush or anything. My lake has a rocky bottom with some rip rap closer to the shore so thats all i have to worry about when choosing a line.

Yup. In open water around rocks its hard to beat a high quality flourocarbon. I like to use Seagaur's lines, so I'd look for some 15# AbrazX.

I've actually used sensation for awhile with good results. It's low stretch and really sensitive. I've actually just spooled up with some seaguar flouro to see what all the buzz is about. I've been reluctant to change because their is nothing wrong with the sensation...aka if it's not broken don't fix it.

I prefer jig fishing with 15-17 lb. Trilene 100% fluorocarbon line. Flouro transmits slack-line bites better than any other line, so it works really well for fishing bottom-contact lures.

I use 15lb Invisx, but previously used 40lb Samurai. I have since taken all the braid off my reels!

Although I hate braid, it has improved my jig fishing significantly.

I'm using 50 lb Suffix 832.

What did u use before?

I mainly use 10-15lb cabelas Low vis flouro. Once I use it all up I'll have to find something else.

I do use 30lb braid once in awhile when I'm fishing real heavy structure or dirty water.

20,30, or 50 lb Power Pro with 12,15, or 20 lb Seagaur Abraz-x leaders as needed. In grass, wood, or dirty water I tie straight to the braid. The Seagaur line is new to me this year, and it's far and away much better than any of the other flouro lines I have used before (Vanish, BPS XPS, and Trilene 100%)

I love Seaguar AbrazX 15#. Definitley my favorite fluro for casting reels

I just picked up some abrazx over the invizx that i hear so much about. Its nice to finally hear something about Abrazx. I just finished trying vicious flouro and i wasnt to pleased. It was the first flouro ive tried so i dont know if im expecting too much or the Vicious really wasnt just for me. Hopefully im happy with Abrazx. Buying Yo Zuri is cheap. Buying Flouro is NOT.

I'm gonna be the first to say, I use copolymer.

Technically not.....:) see my above post about sensation, it's a copolymer.

x2. i use abrazx and even the red label and for $12 the red label is pretty good stuff

imo seaguar is junk. not knocking anyones preference but i had nothin but trouble with seaguar. sunline sniper in 14-20lb test. best fluoro i have ever, ever used.

Quick update, I went out tonight for the first time with the flouro.....and..... WOW!!!! So so much more sensitive than anything else I've used. AND and the first trip with it I managed to land a 5 1/2 pounder.

I love casting jigs in light/ moderate cover. 30 lb Samurai braid + leader for spinning setup, and 55 lb Samurai braid + leader for casting setup for me.

Most of the time I use Big Game 15 lb. If I am going somewhere that I know has a lot of vegetation then I will spool on braid.
