Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 12, 2013 Super User Posted September 12, 2013 Man I can't catch a break, I have either only been catching snakeheads... Im still at 0 as well. I went out last sunday off University and Southgate Blvd, casting toward a bridge column, see a bass jump like a foot and a half out of the water and completely miss my spook. LOL Just been the luck I am having lately. You were right in my back yard. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 12, 2013 Super User Posted September 12, 2013 AK, I got your fish down. Both you an Martin have yet to learn your lesson with mono. Drop it already. Go braid. Your heartaches will be a lot less. Actually, I am kicking myself in the butt helping you guys. I am at 0 fish still. Martin, I will take you up on your invite for Sunday. I think the change of city limits may help me get some numbers on the board. PM, me the details. Thanks for the invite, I look forward to it. I have warned him about what lines to use, and what lines not to use. He still insists on sticking with that crappy P-Line 14lb junk. Oh well, you can lead a Donkey to water, but you cant teach him how to fish.......or something like that, lol. 2 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 12, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 12, 2013 I had to log back in when I saw LGMouths post. AK, you have been advised several times I see about your choice of lines, and you have still stuck with yours?? Let me share something with you. When I am on my boat, I carry several outfits. It's more practical that way for obvious reasons, the rods are right there with me. But, when I am bank fishing its not practical to carry multiple rods. Your asking for trouble IMO. So I carry an outfit where I can maximize my style of fishing. In some cases, I will carry a B/C with braid and that allows me to me switch it up to a Fluro leader if need be. Braid down here is versatile, and you have the security knowing that if the big one shows up, you are geared well to battle. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted September 12, 2013 Super User Posted September 12, 2013 Yea I know I ran out of my braided line. Last time I spooled up my own braid it was fine for a while caught a bunch of fish then one day it all knotted up so I talk to to Academy or DSG to get it done whenever I need line. Like I said I have 2 of the same reels so I keep my spools on me in my backpack. But I never change em unless my braid runs out and past few days I only have mono left losing these hooks and lures is getting expensive new my braid back lol Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 12, 2013 Super User Posted September 12, 2013 I have braid on most of my rigs, but then again I do not use them everyday. My beat around town rig was spooled with 17# Sufix, but I went back to BPS XPS Fluoro in 20# because its gonna be some big fishing soon. Quote

Braid down here is versatile, and you have the security knowing that if the big one shows up, you are geared well to battle. Leaders of Fluoro or Coply are a must for highly abrasive areas, otherwise you really don't need it (at least down here). My beater is Fluoro/Mono due to needein abrasion resistance, and not gonna bother wasting the money with braid when I really don't need it. Quote

CountBassula Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Dork, lol. well it's your reply to every other thing i say on your boat, so right back at yaaa! back to fishing... i'm going to spool braid on all my rods from now on. i really don't see the benefit of mono over braid anymore, and forget leaders. i've caught just as many fish on straight braid as i did on mono...

Super User AK-Jax86 Posted September 12, 2013 Super User Posted September 12, 2013 LGM is in FL dressed in ski gear so if there were a shooting Martin would be the only one who could be identified Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted September 12, 2013 Super User Posted September 12, 2013 I like fishing soft plastics, cranks, and swim baits using mono not sure why but I like it better than braid. But since I'm on my frog grind I use braid for whatever I decide to tie on Quote

DynoMyte Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I use all three lines. You want affordable braid, go to Walmart if you have one close by. The sell PP, cheaper than BPS. I have never been to an Academy. On rare occasions I will use fluoro for frogging, and it does well for me. Mono, for frogging is a no, no for me. Too strechy. What is this PP you speak of? I have been using spiderwire (i think) braid and it's fraying really bad, not been happy with it. Would be interested in checking out another type of braid or even flouro. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted September 12, 2013 Author Super User Posted September 12, 2013 PowerPro aka "PP". It's been my go to braid for years. It has never let me down. 1 Quote

All braid will frey over time. This is due to poor abrasion resistance. Power Pro is the better of the braids, just stay away from Super Slick. 1 Quote
