NJBassin1997 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I am in the process of getting new line for my three rods. One rod is a spinning rod, I am using weightless senkos with that. The other is a 7 ft med hvy rod, I use that for crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs. The final one is a 7 ft med rod, I use that for smaller crankbaits and senkos. What line should I get for each of those rods? I was looking at Vicious, Sunline, and Seaguar. Quote
cottny27 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 How much do you wanna spend and are we talking about fluoro? I went cheaper on one rod and got Seaguar Red Label in 10#. Fished all day this past Sat with no issues. Handled quite well for a $12 spool. I am curious about Sniper though. Quote
ColdSVT Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 A tight one! Seriously you are gonna get 50 different answers and opinions Of the three you have chosen i like seaguar and sunline i use sunline on some reels, seaguar on some reels, power pro on a few lolol Quote
jyu87 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I agree with ColdSVT. You are literally going to get one thousand different answers. So, with that being said. I'll just give you what I prefer; Seagur Invisx or Sunline FC Sniper. Both are great for my setups which are very similar to what you are going to be fishing. Quote

Super User BrianinMD Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 There is no "best" line, everyone has different preferences. I would suggest putting a different line on each to see which one you prefer. 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 Ho-hum, another best line thread.. Some say braid, some say FC, some ( like me ) say co-poly Try them all & given a couple months, you will have a very good understanding of what works "Best" for you.. Enjoy the hunt! Oh, I like Yo hybrid really well too! Quote
ColdSVT Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I do gotta say since i have sniper and invisx on multiple rigs i like the sunline a hair better...just a hair. They perform so close but the sniper feels like it stretches less. Abrasion resistance is super close. The sniper does seem more stiff in colder temps but not much 1 Quote

The sniper does seem more stiff in colder temps but not much Jeez, I was just out on the water the other day and thinking the same exact thing! I have each on different rigs but when it comes down to having to break off sometimes, the Sunline is pretty easy. The Seagurs is definitely way stretchier. Both still perform within the same parameters so I can't complain. Can't remember which one is more expensive. Quote
hatrix Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 There is no "best" line, everyone has different preferences. I would suggest putting a different line on each to see which one you prefer. There is a "best" line and it's called Tatsu. If you want to pony up that kind of $. Quote
skeletor6 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I don't know if Tatsu is the best, but it's the best I've used. Either way, my 1 2 and 3 are tatsu shooter and fc sniper. And yes get fluorocarbon Quote
bassinn Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 All the guys I know run Seagar InvizX and swear by it. I ran it a few times and didn't like it. I've had good luck with Triline 100% flouro and it seemed much stronger than Seagar InvizX. Triline XT always treated me right back in the day. It's all preference. Does the latest trendy fishing line or technology help you catch more fish? Who knows. I'm kind of curious what everyone is running for spinning and baitcasters. What's the best bang for the buck line? Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted May 20, 2015 Super User Posted May 20, 2015 For the spinning I would use 15lb Smackdown with a leader of fluoro leader. 15 lb fluoro on the others. Invizx. Quote

It pretty hard to beat if you find one you like better I'd like to no about it. And why you liked it better. I use it in 6 pound test for white bass fishing. A three and half pound white bass will fight like crazy in the current. Haven't lost one yet. Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted May 20, 2015 Super User Posted May 20, 2015 I'd go with mono. Original Stren or Suffix Elite. Quote
Insanity Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Warning on the Stren it has a lot of stretch. Especially when you got a lot of line out and need to set the hook hard. Quote
