Copolymer Fishing Line?

[ChrisWi]

P-Line CXX

40% stronger that stated (#10 = #14)

Tough as nails

enlighten me on the memory of an elephant lol.

How strong is the Floroclear?

I know some others have said they had problems with it breaking. This surprises me. I have used it quite a bit and can't recall it ever breaking. In fact, getting it to break when I needed it to was a problem at times. It's plenty strong, but a little stretchy. Definitely more manageable than a lot of comparably priced lines that I would consider "strong."

I have used P-line cxx for many years on my crank and spinner bait reels. As said by one of the Mods, the strength to diameter ratio is second to none . Cxx is my go-to.

Does anybody have experience w/Berkley Iron Silk?

It casts real nice. Some complained about its abrasion resistance. Dont recall having issues with the one spool I had but Id be cautious.

Yozuri Hybrid is my go to. Some have tried to argue on here that line conditioner doesnt effect it. Ive noticed liberal use of it the night before GREATLY improves handling.

8 lbs gamma spinning & 12 lbs for casting green I also love the yo Zuri hybrid 6 lbs & 12 lbs line.

 Flouroclear is an  outstanding line ...I also love iron silk as the new version may be the best on the market ....I fought a 32 inch musky on 6 lb with no problem.Great castability , no memory, and  very very strong.Love it on my spincast reels and makes a great inline spinner line as well as cranks but can be used  for anything. Some find it a little  stretchy but for me I say ....so????? Nothing wrong with stretch  ...a fabulous line.

I am a big fan of P-Line CXX. While it does have some memory, it is no worse than YoZuri Hybrid in my opinion. Either line benefits from the use of KVD Line and Lure. Both lines are great values and are worth trying.

Silver Thread AN40 in 6# is on two spinning set ups.

I've cursed Hybrid as a main line before (though, at the time I wasn't familiar with line conditioner), but have grown to love it as a leader coupled with braid.  I like fishing it as a leader versus mainline for a few reasons.

 

- it's still pretty low visibility compared to mono

- with braid, it still provides a lot of sensitivity but with a bit of a cushion for reaction baits and can help keep treble hooks pinned to the fish. 

- it's d**n near indestructible.  12lb carries a 17+lb breaking strength and can be fished through sandpaper covered in razor blades.  

That said, as a main line...

it's memory can be crazy and without aggressive use of line conditioner, you may be pulling backlashes and birds nests for days, potentially damaging the line and your patience. Also, it's not going to cast nearly as well as braid.

I have used Yo-Zuri hybrid and P-Line CXX.  I have had no issues with either of them.

[TxHawgs]

The Yo-Zuri, Silver Thread and Mean Green do they sink or float. I have never fished a co-poly, I currently fish expensive fluros. Guess the only benefit would be stretch for treble baits over fluros correct? Right now for those baits I'm throwing the Sunline Reaction, can anyone think of why I should maybe try a co-poly over it? If it floats I will try it as a leader to braid for topwater instead of the Sunline Reaction leader on braid. Thanks guys.

YZ treated with line conditioner is my go to copoly.

I use 15lb Mccoy Mean Green (.015 inches, .381 mm) for small swimbaits and have been very satisfied. Affordable, smooth, supple, abrasion resistant, and no memory. $8.99 for 250 yards now that's value! I have this spooled on my BB1 baitcast reel and Shimano. 

[PAGreg]

Another vote for McCoys. Been using Mean Green. Just ordered a spool of Xtra Clear to try.

[HoosierHawgs]

Interested in the Silver Thread AN40. I could get a 3,000 yard spool for $15 so that seems like a great deal. Does it sink or float? How is stretch and sensitivity? Line handling? For reference I usually use Trilene XL.

[The Fisher]

I use AN40 on spinning reels. Low stretch, very supple, never had a line twist, casts a mile. I'd try it at that price.

Here's some info

SPECIFICATIONS 

Silver Thread AN40 was developed with the stealth approach in mind. Designed with an incredibly small diameter, this line can really cover the distance. The AN40 formula is very limp and supple, making it a favorite among fishermen. If you require long casts and low underwater visibility to get close to the fish, look no further than AN40. Available in original silver and low-visibility green.

Yards	LB Test	Average Diameter
300	4	.0070 in
300	6	.0086 in
300	8	.0100 in
300	10	.0112 in
275	12	.0128 in
275	14	.0136 in
275	17	.0147 in

It's tuff but the memory is horrible not so much an issue with a baitcaster but the stiffnes  of the line I believe comprises the smoothness and lenth of a cast

[Racerx]

I like Fluoroclear and have never had a single issue with it. I decided to try the P-Line CX when spooling up my new Curado.  First thing I noticed was the "springiness" that others have mentioned. I guess I'll see how it is when I finally get to throw it. Fingers crossed.

Copolymerization allows the blending of multiple polymers to get some of the best properties from each.  

so what are the typical properties that makes this line unique?  What is the preferred?  Abrasion? FC coating?

Don't remember what I paid for my 3000 yard spools, but pretty sure it was quite a bit more than that.  I think you should grab a spool.  I've got 12# on several reels and like it so far.  Also have 8# on a couple b/c reels.  Don't use any line conditioner on it.  Last year was my first time using AN40.  Working great so far.  Got to try a small spool of Mean Green.  Lot of people like it.  So many good lines, so little time. 

[DaleGribble]

I love pline floroclear as well. Use it for cranking and trigs and soft plastics. Castability is great, sensitivity is good, line memory is not an issue especially with line conditioner. Never had a problem with it.
