ZB85 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 What do you guys think is a good monofilament line for crankbaits.(shallow-medium divers) Quote
revo4life Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 seaguar senshi or sunline super natural, both are cheap and really good, for the depths you are targeting 12-15 pound test should be good. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted March 16, 2014 Super User Posted March 16, 2014 Original Stren, lo vis green for clear or clear blue fluorescent for stained and muddy. I go with 10 pound for deep cranking, shallow cranks and heavy cover could call for as heavy as 17. Quote
fishguy613 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 i used sunline super natural mono most of last year for cranking, was definitely the best mono ive come across. after switching to fluoro though i prefer that Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 17, 2014 Super User Posted March 17, 2014 I don't believe there is a wrong answer to this question. Use whatever line takes your fancy. I seriously doubt any fish can tell the difference. 2 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 17, 2014 Global Moderator Posted March 17, 2014 Berkley Big Game, Stren High Impact, or Mustad Ultra Line. All available in bulk for cheap so I can change it anytime I feel the need to and not feel bad about it. A local camping store here has the Mustad line in something like a 6,000 yard spool of 10lb for $10 I've got at least half a dozen spools of it squirreled away in my garage. Quote
TorqueConverter Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I crank with lots of line. Fluorocarbon, mono and braid. It's a bit of myth that you NEED mono and its elasticity for cranking IMO. My favorite mono when shallow and medium cranking is Sufix Elite #12. If I require a high elasticity mono because my rod is too stiff, I like a #10 or #12 Berkley XL for the additional give. A great cranking rod hooks and hold the fish the same, no matter what the line material. The elasticity of a highly elastic mono helps to make a bad situation of a stiff rod better with the elastic properties of the line. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted March 17, 2014 Super User Posted March 17, 2014 I like 12lb Super Natural Quote
