Best Line To For Anti Back Lashes

[jlwest506]

I like the sensitivity of braid and the strength but the noise it makes coming in contact with my rod is too much. Now on my spinning reel the braid noise doesn't bother me.

I use 12 lb mono from bps and only 2 of the 6 pins pulled on my casting reel

[J Francho]

Line doesn't make as much a difference as people say. Neither does the reel. The important thing is to have a reliable reel, a rod that matches the lure weight well, and a line that isn't too far outside the norm. That means don't try to throw a 1/8 oz bait on a heavy/fast rod and Calcutta 300 with 30 lb mono. Everything else comes down to practice and getting your thumb educated. I still back lash occasionally, and I've been using bait casters for nearly 30 years.

Thanks for the input guys

I went to Dicks after work tonight and picked up 600 yards of 30 lb 832

I'll let you know how it works for me

832 isnt as limp out of the box as other braids so give it some time to loosen up and then it starts casting better. Also the coating at least on mine was a bit much so what I notice was the line slightly sticking to itself. One might think its digging-in but it not just sticking.

I have 20# 832 on a Chronarch CI4 and throwing a 3/16 booyah pond magic spinnerbait 35+ yards.

Only five people on this forum know how to cast properly, the rest of us are still too dumb to figure it out. No one is saying that directly, but thats what theyre basically implying.

 

Care to name those five?    We all like to help.  Doesn't mean our suggestions will be the solution.  Even those of us with limited experience will offer suggestions based on what little experience we have.  The OP is having a problem and asked for help.  We are offering possible solutions.....again based on personal experiences.

 

There are lines that dont manage well. How exactly does one spool a baitcaster backwards, the spool only spins one direction. Its not like you can take it out and turn it around. Id honestly, not being a wise guy like to see how thats done.

 

The person suggesting he may have spooled wrong was referring to how the line came off the filler spool....not how it went on the reel's spool.

 

I find it amazing that you can take the same exact rod setup, change line, not change anything as far as brakes or spool tension and suddenly you dont have any problems.

 

Spooled 15# Izorline Platinum on my daughter's reel.  Too many backlashes.  Went to 14# Siege, and she is happy.  I've never used Invisx, but everyone comments on how magageable it is.  You don't have to be an expert with a baitcast reel to quickly learn that soft lines are more manageable.

 

Ive tried every fluoro under $20, I never went as far as sunline. Odd that I can manage some of the heaviest mono on the planet without feeling the line grenade off the spool mid cast. Even when youre not backlashing you cant feel the stuff come off the spool like crazy and tame back out before the end of the cast? None of my mono or braid lines do that. The only time I could get the stuff to be reliable is with extreme braking or spool tension.

 

Even with my inexperience I can feel 12# and even 8# mono come off the spool during the middle of a cast, and then go back down.  It isn't all about the line weight either.  Spool speed versus lure speed plays a definite part.

 

Im out there to fish, not see if I can spend all day making micro adjustments every time I change a lure for what minimal benefits flouro might offer. I can pick up a rod, wing a heavy spinnerbait, turn around and tie on a 1.0 and make the same casts with no need to adjust the rod much if at all.

 

Problem is, until someone figures out a way to mount a camera on a rod, show the brake settings with no editing of the video then we will never really know whats true.

 

Me personally, I dont have time for the headache, it makes me not even wanna fish so I join you in your frustration and I didnt just start bass fishing yesterday.

 

Ive seen flouro make a difference in ultra ultra clear water where I am fishing size 18 or smaller nymphs on fish that have been stood over all day(artificial steelhead fisheries). Ive never seen it bass fishing. Ive also seen good flouro leader turn to crap after being exposed to sun.

 

Theres so much around flouro its hard to find what to believe.

Hopefully you don't think I am picking on you or trying to put you down.  My comments in this thread are based on personal experience...little as that may be.  We all have our opinions, and they sure aren't always going to be the same.

the line is not the issue.

 

what rod, what reel, what bait (size/weight)?

 

I cast all day with minimum thumb, with little issue. now once line gets some age on it, then you have to be mindful.....as well as in the wind.

 

once you lashed it good with the braid, I hope you have a good pair of sissors handy.

By answering a question I am in NO WAY implying that you or anyone else is "dumb"  [if you knew me personally you would know that]

and I'm sure the other 29 respnders to this thread are NOT implying any such thing either...The OP asked a question and he's getting the advise and suggestions he asked for. He can accept or disregard any post I gave to help answer his question at his discreation.

As new2BC4bass answered I was "referring to how the line came off the filler spool"..Thats all
