Lunker Chunker 88 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I just picked up a mojo bass spinner bait rod and am planning on using it with 1/2 & 3/8 oz. spinnerbaits and Chatterbaits. So my question is what would be the best line to use for this kind of fishing? Quote
adam lancia Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I'm doing the same thing this summer and I'll be using braid with a mono leader. I imagine a lot of guys use straight mono as well. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted April 19, 2015 Super User Posted April 19, 2015 I throw 12 lb yozuri hybrid, works great for this type of application. 2 Quote
ABW Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 15-17 lb mono or fluoro or 30-40 lb braid + leader Quote
Kevin22 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Have the same rod and use it for the same applications. I use 15# seaguar red label and it seems to be perfect. If need be, the rod can double as a flipping/trig/crig rod. Quote
Robert Riley Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I use 15lb Red Label. If I go night fishing I sometimes use braid (with no leader) bc i throw buzzbaits as well. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted April 19, 2015 Global Moderator Posted April 19, 2015 I throw 12 lb yozuri hybrid, works great for this type of application. Ditto...I use the same combo for both also Mike Quote
Alpha Male Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I have been using 20-30lb braid for the last 2 years and have done well with spinnerbaits on that line. I cant say that the visibility of braid has been a reason i have gotten less bites and i fish pretty clear water. I would add a leader if i felt it necessary. Quote
Silas Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I throw 12 lb yozuri hybrid, works great for this type of application. Absolutely true!! Quote
FlipSide Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I throw 12 lb yozuri hybrid, works great for this type of application. pretty much... Quote
madweazl Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 15-17 lb mono or fluoro or 30-40 lb braid + leader Why 30-40lb braid when 15-17lb mono is sufficient? Is this just a matter of diameter and the ability to spool more braid vice something that is actually easier to cast/use? Honest question, I'm new. Quote
ABW Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Why 30-40lb braid when 15-17lb mono is sufficient? Is this just a matter of diameter and the ability to spool more braid vice something that is actually easier to cast/use? Honest question, I'm new. It's just a matter of preference. If the chatterbait or spinnerbait is being thrown into grass, the braid may help rip the bait free easier. Quote
C_Stout Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I use 12 to 15 lb Yo-Zuri hybrid now , used to be Suffix Elite in 12 to 15 lb never had a problem with neither. Quote

bigfishbk86 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 12 cxx, no question. 15 if you really need something strong. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted April 21, 2015 Super User Posted April 21, 2015 One of my best days ever spinnerbait fishing was when I had a rod spooled up with 10# fluoroclear because I was planning on jerkbait and crankbait fishing. So it can be done on lots of different line Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted April 21, 2015 Super User Posted April 21, 2015 Are those Italian or something? LOL Oh Sorry, those are all types of Pasta. I must have misremembered the question . . . It was late. A-Jay Quote
