Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I'm thinking if going with the sunline super natural and CX premium. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 P-Line CXX in 10 lb. You mention this line quite often. I think I am going to try a spool. Hootie Quote
Jon G Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't 10lb CXX have a breaking strength of 22lbs? I use to use CXX but it had a little to much memory for my liking Quote
ytail Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Trilene Big Game #10 & #12 are great lines and the price is very reasonable. I'm looking for a quality line in the 10 - 12 lb range. Don't use braid, usually only clear or mono. Any ideas? Just tired of getting medium sized spools that don't last long. 2 Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I've got a roll if 15# for backer line. Wasn't impressed because it's a massive diameter compared to more modern lines. Quote
plumworm Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hootie, I have been using P-line cxx forever on all my crank, spinner bait, etc. reels. Trent is wrong , it is a co- poly line and has a great strength to diameter ratio. Not only that, it's "durn cheep" A 600 yard spool of 10 lb. is about $18 at most shops. 1 Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Not wrong, misinformed. I can only go on what the website says. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted February 11, 2015 Super User Posted February 11, 2015 You would be better off with Izorline XXX , it's strong and doesn't have the horrific memory of Yo-Zuri hybrid and P-line CXX , you will like it a lot , cause if you decide on Yo-Zuri or CXX , you might want to buy one of their big spools cause you'll be changing line after every two or three fishing trips ..

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 11, 2015 Sunline Defier Armilo is a very nice line, but costly. I'd highly recommend it but it doesn't come in a large spool that I'm aware of. In the bulk spools I like Big Game, Stren Hi Impact, and Mustad Ultra Line. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I can't seem to find either sunline that's mentioned. Guessing website purchases in my near future? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 11, 2015 I get mine at TW. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 How long is the shipping? Like I said earlier...I was almost shaking I was so anxious for my rapala shipment to get here. That wasn't even a week. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 11, 2015 Pay the $5 and it's 2 days. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Ok. Big question. Had some p line fluorocarbon on my rod about 8 months ago. Wasn't impressed because no line memory was basically a lie. Even with conditioner, it still tangled. Almost as bad as when line isn't spooled on correctly. Should I give fluorocarbon another chance or go mono/copoly with a fluorocarbon leader when needed? Keep in mind this will be used year round with no line chance until necessary. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 11, 2015 Super User Posted February 11, 2015 Braid/ fluorocarbon is generally a better option and VERY cost effective. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I don't do braid unless I'm fishing Guntersville. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 So, it's either gonna be sunline or cx. I can't make up my mind. Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I'd go with the Sunline. Just Feels that much better. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 12, 2015 Super User Posted February 12, 2015 I use either Big Game or YoZuri. Quote
DaveT63 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 If you go with Sunline, check out xtackle.com. Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Ok, I've come to a conclusion that a trip to BPS isn't a smart idea, but it's happening. I'm getting a new Carbonlite and I'm wondering if I should just break down and get fluoro. Quote
