*Hank Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Mono or flouro for spy baits also what lb. test? Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted December 19, 2014 Super User Posted December 19, 2014 I like 6lb fluoro. Quote
Preytorien Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I know I'm "not supposed to do it" but I use very light (15lb) braid for spybaits. I can't often purchase lures this expensive, and I don't want to get in the habit. So for me it's easier to just use braid so I'm more confident in the off chance I'd snag something. I wouldn't want to lose a $15 lure because I snagged a stick on my 4lb flouro. I've not noticed any catch decrease from it, although I do have to wait a couple more seconds to let it sink, and have to reel it a bit slower to keep it from rising in the water column too quickly. But yea, Duo makes great stuff, I just don't want to have to buy it very often! Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted December 19, 2014 Super User Posted December 19, 2014 4-6 lb line. Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 19, 2014 Super User Posted December 19, 2014 6 lb YoZury Hybrid. With spy baits you want the lightest line you can get away with, heavier line kills some of the action. 1 Quote
Trey Harpel Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 depends on the spybait.... I use flouro as you want that line to to sink and stay in the contact zone as long as possible... Ive worked closely with DUO over the last 2 years and have learned a ton about spybaiting and their other baits... I don know guys using braid up on St Clair and seem to be doing just fine.. for the spinbait 80 4-6lb 80 G fix 8-10lb 90 10-12lb is fine... Quote
*Hank Posted December 19, 2014 Author Posted December 19, 2014 I currently run 6lb. Seagur red label on my spinning combo so I guess that will work. Quote
Acwood04 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 I've been spy baiting for about a year and a half and I would recommend 7-8 lb Sunline Finnesse or SL Sniper FC. However I don't and haven't had any problems throwing it on a spinning rod with braid and a long flouro leader. Experiment... Just use the countdown method so you don't get hung up, and you want a sometimes slow and steady retrieve or sometimes they like some action on it too. Quote
