bmlum415 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 What would be a good line to throw for 1/2 oz spinnerbaits in thick weeds. I use mono usually but was thinking of going with copoly or flouro. Opinions? Quote
Cgrinder Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Straight braid works for me, though I have neither your CA bass or CA weeds here. Quote
Hattrick7 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Are you sure you wanna be throwing a spinner in thick weeds? I would imagine that the weeds would get constantly hung up on the hook. Quote
bmlum415 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 i always throw them into weeds in the delta, theyre one of the only baits i can throw through the stuff in the delta. the weeds hardly get into the hooks and are pretty dang weedless Quote
fishguy613 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 since im just getting into using heavier jigs to pitch into cover, the spinnerbait was my go to lure for moderately thick cover. I think with braid and floro SBs do pretty well ripping through weeds without getting hungup 1 Quote
Jolly Green Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Braid. I don't know what advantage you would gain from switching to fluoro, unless you need your bait to ride lower for some reason. Can't comment on co-poly. Quote
Arv Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I use 30 - 50# braid, but I use braid for for pretty much everything. Quote
PABASS Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Braid typically works well in vegetation, I have always used Mono for spinnerbaits however this year have been throwing it on braid with a fc leader just cant seem to get a bite this year with a spinner bait. Quote
Craiger12 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I use 12# P-line CXX for all my spinnerbait fishing. It is incredibly strong and abrasion resistant, which some will argue is due to the slightly larger diameter than most 12# lines. But this is why I don't feel any need to go above 12#. You may want to bump up to 15# if throwing into the nasty stuff though. Quote
