crankbank Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Hi Guys, I was wondering what a lot of you use/suggest for an ultralight setup. I am thinking of something in the 4-6# ballpark. I have been reading a lot about different lines here on the forum, but didn't know if a lighter line made a difference between brands. Most of the places I will be fishing with this setup are not rocky, and it will obviously be used in light/open cover. The line will go on a Lexa 2500 on a Lamiglas Excel II 712. Previously, on my regular non-braid setups, I have used a lot of P-line Floroclear 12#. I would like to venture into 100% Fluoro. Tatsu sounds fantastic, but may be a little too expensive for my taste. I am thinking Seaguar Invizx may be my best play, but was curious as to what you guys suggest. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I use a Stradic 1000 with 10# Sufix 832, I believe this is their lightest in the 832 lineup, but would not want any thinner if it wasn't, I usually use 2-4 foot of Seaguar Abrazx 4# joined with an improved blood knot. I will go to 6# Abrazx if I am targeting fish on the edge of weeds that could get me in to the weeds. I use the same size reel and line on my MLF and MXF finesse rods, I just go to 6# or 8# on those for Walleye and Smallmouth Bass. Quote

crankbank Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks! Appreciate the feedback, I will check out both of the lines. Quote
Super User Marty Posted July 18, 2014 Super User Posted July 18, 2014 My ultralight used 4# mono, Stren or Trilene XL. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 I've used 4# stren magnathin /w really good results. Quote
I.rar Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 10lb sufix or power pro with 4lb copoly leader for me. Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 With braid, I have 3# Power Pro micro line on most of my outfits. For fluorocarbon, my favorite is 5# TORAY finesse, though I've also been using 6# Stren 100% fluoro recently and have been pleasantly surprised by its performance. -T9 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted July 19, 2014 Super User Posted July 19, 2014 I use 6lb pline c21, if there wasn't toothy critters around I'd drop back to 4lb, wife really likes the seaguar senshi 4lb Quote
crankbank Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks for all the info guys, lots of great options to choose from. Quote
