Keiran Beam Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 First I'm having a little trouble deciding what line I should put on my rod. So I have a 7' 9'' Abu Garcia Veritas Heavy Action. I use it for bigger baits such as a Huddleston swimbait. I'm contemplating to either put 15 lb fluorocarbon or braid. What do you think? Quote
starcraft1 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Ever thought about mono? I use 17 to 25 on my big and smaller swim bait rods. Berkley big game clear does the job great. Swimbait fish will hook themselves and you'll want the "shock" value. Give it a try. 1 Quote
Big C Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 25lb. Suffix Siege or Big Game (mono). They are great lines for big swimbaits, in my opinion at least. Quote
Keiran Beam Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 I would use mono, I try to avoid it as much as possible. I'm not sponsored and money is tight. I wish I could have a rod for every kind of bait. I use the rod also for pitching, jigs, and heavy texas rigs. The reason why I stay away from mono is the sensitivity, It's just a big pet peve of mine not being able to feel my bait and the structure. Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 Looking at your rod it's rated for 5/8-3 oz lures, 12-25 lb line. OK for 6" & 68 Hudds, not 8" or swimbaits over 3 oz. Mono, Nylon, copolymer, or FC line in the 15-20 lb would be good. Tom 1 Quote
