Braid,mono Or Floro

[Archer Just Fishin]

Hey guy's< 

 

I was wondering if you all could help me make a choice on line. Where, what and why to what.

I'm trying to simplify all my gear. As a non boater and an owner of a not so big boat, it would be a ton of help.

What say you fellow lip rippers?

90% of my reels  are spooled with nylon and it serves me well 95% of the time.

X2  Except I don't have as many reels as Raul so my percentage is 90% approximately. 

 

EDIT:  Sorry.  I was thinking 95% of your reels were spooled with nylon.  How careless of me.

That's tough not knowing what you are fishing with, however if I were to run one line on everything for moving baits, bottom contact, and anything on slack line, my clear choice would be Sunline Defier Armillo

Exactly this!

Braid with a leader for everything, but my cranks/trebel hook rod.  I have mono on that.  The leader allows you to switch to whatever the situation dictates.

A Fluorocarbon leader or copolymer leader with braid main line are what I use most of the times. 

FC+Braid is nothing new to say. 

But the copolyer + braid is a great thing to work with.

I would use mono, it is very versitlal, and if not that then I would go with floro

[LMB KING]

CDMeyer is right. Mono is the most versatile line you can buy. If you can use only one line, it will be mono.

Man I am glad that I don't have to pick just one. I was running over the different scenarios in my head and if there were only 1 line to cover every technique, I would probably have to go with braid, with the caveat I could use a leader as I wanted.

I use fluoro for most applications, mono for for topwaters and braid for flipping, pitching and frogging

Perhaps keep in mind all mono and fluoro lines are not created equal. Good suggestions none the less

[bassguytom]

If trying to keep it simple use mono. It has been around a lot longer then anything else and works fine for most applications. When you start getting more advanced you can try braid and floro. I started using mono as did everyone on her but now use all 3 for different techniques. Good luck.
