Siebert Outdoors Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I've been throwing one on 65lb braid. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 23, 2015 Super User Posted March 23, 2015 Either will work. I don't throw it much but when I do it's on 50 lb Quote
The Next KVD Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 50lb braid or 25lb Trilene 100% fluoro Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I'm currently using 65# S8S but I've also used 20 & 25# CXX with very good results. I'm actually leaning toward the CXX as I don't seem to be getting the same number of bites using braid. The braid is much easier to live with though. I have a friend who uses 50# PP with no issues so far, I'm just afraid that a backlash with 50 will result in my rig sailing into the great beyond. 1 Quote
JGBassinAL Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 25 lb. P-Line CXX is my go-to line for a-rigs. Quote
matuka Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Agree with all of the above, really. I'm finding myself going lighter these days if I can get away with it for the particular weight of the rig. 17lb to 25 lb mono leaders on 50lb braid. Quote
yakingfisherman Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I use to do braid with alabama rigs but I switched out to 25lb mono instead. I like that better. But as far as 50 vs 65lb braid I think either of the two would be fine. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 24, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 24, 2015 20-25 pound copolymer, although it is entertaining when it's someone else's rig that's arching across the lake no longer attached to a line because they were fishing with braid and got a backlash 1 Quote
