SnazzySenko Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 What's your favorite line for a spinning rod? Brand? Mono? Flouro? Braid? I made the mistake of allowing someone else to choose my line and let's just say my last fishing expedition was not fun. Constant twists, bad memory, and bad memories for me lol. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 20, 2014 Super User Posted February 20, 2014 10-20 braid with a leader if you need it. 4 Quote
masterbass Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 20lb power pro braid with about 6 ft. of 8lb fluoro as a leader of your choice. I like berkley fluoro or p-line. Learn how to tie alberto knot or double uni knot for the leader. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted February 20, 2014 Super User Posted February 20, 2014 10lb PowerPro with a 6 or 8lb Seaguar Invizx leader if needed. Quote
tholmes Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Yo-Zuri hybrid co-polymer, 6-10 lb. mostly. Tom Quote
Bruce424 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I like McCoy extra clear.very little memory and smooth.6 OR 8 LB. POWERPRO superslick in 15 or 20 lb I like too. .Braid is nice because of lack of stretch and no memory. I just dont like catching fish on braid. Dont know, not use to it I guess. Caught a 12" perch on a tube and it felt like a 3 lber. Hah!. I wanna have it though for certain situations. two rods one with braid and one straight copolymer. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted February 20, 2014 Super User Posted February 20, 2014 8lb mono or fluoro. I don't use the real cheap stuff either, as it only causes problems. I like Sniper or Tatsu for fluoro. Mono isn't as big of a deal. I like Super Natural most of the time. My favorite is Toray Bawo Polyamide Plus, but it's pretty pricey. Quote

Super User ww2farmer Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 10-20 braid with a leader if you need it. What he said Quote
Super User tomustang Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 6lb medium light and below, 10lb medium. If I need more power I use 20lb braid Quote
Smokinal Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 10-20 braid with a leader if you need it. What he said What they said. I will add that I really like the Power Pro Super Slick. Smooth as silk, casts great, great strength (except against rock), so I use a fluoro leader when fishing rock or gin clear water. As far as line twist, make sure you are closing your bail by hand, every cast, and not by turning the handle. Not sure why this works, it just does. Quote
Stingray23 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 8-10 Seaguar Invizx fluoro. I might give braid and leader a try this spring. Quote
slainempire Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 8lb trilene sensation mono for finesse, 10lb bps excel for everything else. Quote
ccummins Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Either Trilene XL or Suffix Siege in mono for my spinning reels. I keep the braid and flouro for my bait casters. I do want to put some Nanofil on one spinner but with all of the mono I already have in supply it's just not in my immediate plans. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 I use 20lb power pro, with a 10lb yozuri leader. Quote
BenB54 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I use 10# pp on two, 12# nanofil on another, and 8# berkley trilene xl pro grade 100% fluoro on the fourth. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 10 or 15 lb braid Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 Braid for mainline on all my reels, spinning gets 10lb, bait casting 20. Leaders for all anywhere from 6-15 lbs, and mostly P-Line Floroclear or Yo Zuri Hybrid, then pure fluoro. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 10 lbs braid. no leader or with leader. and i have a light 6 pound fluro Quote
Super User MCS Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 10# sufix seige unless cover of fish size dictate I need 30# braid Quote
Got1Fishing Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Berkley Trilene XL 100% FC that they just came out with--specifically designed for spinning rods. I bought some in 8 lbs and I love it more than the Seguar Ivisix I had on there before. It does have line memory but not as bad as Invisix. I also put KVD L&L on there so that helps a lot. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 10lb braid, standard power pro is ok but stay away from the slick braid, worse wind knots ever. But I do love it on my baitcaster's though. And about an 8ft flouro topshot. And always close the bail with your hand to help minimize line twists. Quote
Christian M Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 It depends on what technique/lure/rod im using. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 #6 Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Tatsu Quote
