irishman775 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I just bought seaguar invizX fluorocarbon 15lb test that I plan to put on my crankbait rod to fish shallow crankbaits for this early fall transition. Im just wondering If this line would work well on my soft plastics rod? I also have some 12lb test P Line Floroclear laying around. Or should i spend more money and get something else that would be better for the job? Should I be looking at mono? Please advise!!! Quote
EvanT123 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I'd try what you have. Don't like it? Look at something else and use the rest of that spool as leader material if need be. I like 12lb big game and my next spool will be some 12lb suffix mono. Quote
Super User deep Posted October 7, 2014 Super User Posted October 7, 2014 Invizx should work great unless you mind the stretch, in which case you might want to get some less stretchier FC. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 12-16 lb flouro is great for most soft plastics most of the time, sometimes I switch to mono when they're biting it on the fall (senko, soft jerkbait, etc.) and I want a slower fall. 1 Quote
PondHopper96 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Whatever you feel comfortable with. As long as your line is reliable you should be alright. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 7, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 7, 2014 I use 10-20lb fluoro for most of my plastics, so you should be fine with what you have. Quote
timsford Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Id use the fluoro you already have. It should work great. If i bought anything different it would be braid if you fish really heavy cover Quote
Hogsticker Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Sounds like you already put the Invizx on your cranking set up which is an awesome fit, and you're asking if you should purchase more to use for plastics? Or do you have some left over? If you don't, I would opt for something else. Too much stretch for single hook baits imo. I would get some Sniper or braid myself. 1 Quote
OnthePotomac Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 BPS 14 lb flouro for my plastics and 10lb for my cranking. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 7, 2014 Super User Posted October 7, 2014 I'd say I throw plastics on an even split of CXX, InvisX, Power Pro, and have been playing with Tuf-Line Hevi-Core. I do have one spinner with 832 as well. Quote

Thats where I do all my bass fishing! Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted October 7, 2014 Super User Posted October 7, 2014 I really like my Sniper FC. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 7, 2014 Super User Posted October 7, 2014 Fish the line you have first. These are some other suggestions for your next purchase: #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid, Izorline, P-Line or Seaguar AbrazX Quote
Super User tomustang Posted October 7, 2014 Super User Posted October 7, 2014 I use 12lb and 15lb invisx for plastics, does just fine. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted October 8, 2014 Super User Posted October 8, 2014 I like12lb Invisx or 12lb trilene 100%FC. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted October 8, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 8, 2014 I've been useing 15# Invizx on my plastics and spinner/chatter combo for a long while now and like. I don't mind a little stretch for spinnerbait's, but thinking of try something else for plastics because of all heavy stuff around here. I was given a spool of XPS to try, but haven't gotten around to respooling yet. Mike Quote
