buzzfrog Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 ok, long ago, I was told this was a no-no, I tried some 10 lb on my setup last summer, it just seemed to spool off when i was casting, you know super loose comming off top of spool, a real hassle. Ok youtubing yesterday and ran across a few vids of Ike and weekend anglers talking about using fluro for spinng, what size and brand do you recommend for a mid size pfluger president. I will be throwing wacky and shakey head; mainly shakey though Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted June 4, 2013 Super User Posted June 4, 2013 8lb Seagur Invizx, use it on all but one spinning rod (the other is for topwater). Spool it tight and use KVD L&L while spooling and the evening before fishing. Have had great luck with it, good knot strength, abrasion resistant, strong, and low vis. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted June 4, 2013 Super User Posted June 4, 2013 I made the switch to braid for mainline on all my gear and use fluoro, or copoly for a leader. Phenomenal line management, and the sensitivity is excellent. FWIW. 1 Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted June 4, 2013 Super User Posted June 4, 2013 Spray the night before you go. Quote
backcast88 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I have used 8 lb fluoro on spinning reels for the past 4 years without any line managment issues. I have used Seagua InvizX (hated it), BPS XPS (solid choice), and Sufix Invisiline Castable (new favorite). Stick with 8 lb and use a line conditioner the night before (and just before you hit the water if possible) and you should be good to go. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 5, 2013 Super User Posted June 5, 2013 Tuf-Line #10 with a fluorocarbon leader. The leader should be tied so that the knot is outside of the reel, that's about 7' or so. Quote
MrSwimJig Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I use 8lbs InvizX on my spinning reel and have no problems with it. Also treat it with KVD L&L before each outing. Quote
dam0007 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I'm running 6# InvizX for my drop shot set up but if I throw anything else, say a Texas rigged worm I get ridiculous line twist. Quote
Arv Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I use straight fc on my spinning gear. I know most people don't like the original Vicious fc but I've never had any problems with the 8# test on my spinning reals. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 5, 2013 Super User Posted June 5, 2013 Pretty sure it works just fine. I use 4 and 6# Tatsu and InvisX on spinning. Here's a little 6# InvisX fish: Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I use 6# Cabelas Flouro on one spool and 15# Power Pro braid on another spool. Quote
JunkYard814 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I just lined some 6lb InvisX on my President in the 30 size. Have fished it a few days with absolutely no problems. Casts well, have had no problem with management, and no breaking problems. Quote
Jigs 4 Pigs Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I use 6-10 pound InvizX on all spinning set ups. I throw every bait/lure there is on them (but top water gets mono). I usually use 6 lbs for weightless senkos & flukes, 8 lbs for light t-rigs & 1/4 oz jigs, 10 lbs for anything 3/8 oz and up. I have 2 presidents, great reels super super smooth! but sometimes the line would jump off. I started to close the bail with my hand and made sure there was no slack before reeling. I also tried to put a little less line when spooling and using KVD line & lure while spooling. It helped alot. Moving to Shimano spinning reels pretty much ended any problems i had experienced with my Quantums & Pfluegers, especially line twists that eventually ended up turning into knots (the worst problem!!)
