Line Types At 2015 Classic

[F14A-B]

What line types were dominate in this years classic? Anyone know what the Super Six, used?

I watched some, but could not ascertain line at all.

Everyone I heard talk about line was using fluorocarbon.  Braid soaks up water and freezes, so it was out.   Most guys were cranking or fishing jigs and underspins deep, so fluoro would be used in those situations anyway.

Good point, I don't use braid, however, many on here do use braid for jigs, and crankbaits, etc. At any rate, what you say makes sense to me.

i heard that takahiro was using 7lb sunline fluoro for dropshotting, but not sure which exact fluoro from sunline

[JGBassinAL]

If I had to guess, Takahiro was using 7 lb. Sunline Sniper. That's the go to fluoro for drop shotting. I would think they were all using fluoro. I do not think that any of the pros use braid unless they are punching or throwing a frog. Some probably use it for flippin brush but from what I have watched most pros even use fluoro for that too.

Is that year-around or just in cold weather?

[JGBassinAL]

I think year round. Now this is just my observation from following guys on Pickwick when they have pro events and watching them on tv. I forgot to add that they use braid on their spinning setups with fluoro leaders. Which most everyone does that anyways. I followed and watched each of the final 10 on the FLW Tour on Pickwick lake this past summer and every single one of them was throwing fluoro. They were throwing jigs, c-rigs, t-rigs, and crankbaits on ledges. That's why I believe it's year round and not just in cold weather.

They use braid on top waters ... And flipping applications and spinning

[Jrob78]

Most of those guys use fluoro for just about everything.  I've never seen them use braid for any "tip up" techniques, like t-rigs, c-rigs or jigs, or any treble hook baits except topwater.  I have seen braid used with swim jigs, topwater baits, a-rigs and on spinning rods.  Most guys pitch and flip with 20-25 lb fluoro.  Punching heavy cover and frogging would use braid of course.   I pay pretty close attention to that kind of stuff to see how much of what they do can be applied in my own fishing.
