CC268 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Hey guys I have a 7' St Croix Triumph Medium Heavy Rod and a Daiwa Aird baitcasting reel. I have a rod and spinning reel for dropshotting only and I use Fluorocarbon on that of course. Anyways, as you can see my baitcaster is my setup for everything other than dropshotting (topwater, jigs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, texas rig, carolina rig, the list goes on....). Currently I have been using 12 lb monofilament, but was wondering if there is something better for all around use? Maybe like a hybrid line? I would have multiple baitcasters and rods for different types of use, but I am a college student and can't do that. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted October 13, 2013 Super User Posted October 13, 2013 12# mono is my standard for MH rods. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted October 13, 2013 Super User Posted October 13, 2013 If the mono is working well for you, keep using it. It's a good multi purpose line. Quote
thehooligan Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 12lb mono is fine. My preference would be 20-30lb braid, add a flouro leader for clear water... Quote
CC268 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Alright thanks guys, I guess I will stick with this mono then! Quote
Gaerith Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 If I were you, my only concern would be if you had no rods with high# braid tied on and wanted to walk a frog. Braid makes it much easier - but if you have no interest in frogging, then stick with what you're using. Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 13, 2013 Super User Posted October 13, 2013 A good premium mono casts good and strong knot strength, works for crankbaits and spinnerbaits. A good hybrid like FluoroClear or Yo-Zuri also casts good, decent knot strength and works a better for bottom lures like jigs or worms. Hybrids are good all around line and might worth giving a try the next few months. Tom Quote
motodmast Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 12 yo-zuri. it has a 19lb or something like that breaking strength, dosnt strech as much as mono, and is only like $13 Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted October 13, 2013 Super User Posted October 13, 2013 what moto said.....love this big game also is good Quote
