Super User the reel ess Posted June 16, 2015 Super User Posted June 16, 2015 What's your fave? Pound Test#? Is it suitable for using with T-rigs if you use a leader? I have been using Fireline on spinning with no leaders, but not anything like 50#. I love the roundness of it. They don't make 50#. But I'm thinking 30# would suffice on a BC reel for frogs since I don't fish many places with a ton of slop. Just lilies, mostly. The recent thread hating on Vanish has me thinking I ought to trash it. It's very old anyway. Quote
Ozark_Basser Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Hard to beat sunline fx2 in 50# test. It's round and handles and casts very well. It is an 8 carrier braid also. For the price, it cant be beat. 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted June 16, 2015 Super User Posted June 16, 2015 The only braid I have thrown, and have had 0 problems with for many years is Power Pro. I throw 40lb for medium to light cover and 50lb for heavy cover. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted June 16, 2015 Super User Posted June 16, 2015 I'd go up to 50 for frogs. Pads can be tough to get them out of at times. Quote
5fishlimit Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I use Seaguar Smackdown. 65# for frogs, 30# for jigs and t-rigged plastics, and 10# for my dropshot setup. Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Sunline FX2 50 or 65lb best braid on the market hands down Quote
long island basser Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I've been using 40 lb pp for years, don't remember the last time i broke off. Also use for jigs and t/rig plastics with good results, most times no leader. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted June 16, 2015 Global Moderator Posted June 16, 2015 50# Original Power Pro. Have used as low as 30# in a pinch and never had a problem. Mike Quote
lectricbassman Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I may not be doing this right but im using 30 lb power pro on my frog setup with no issues. In fact i drug half a tree to the bank the other day, had to cut the line because i couldnt reach the frog from where ibwas and the 30 lb wouldnt break. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted June 16, 2015 Super User Posted June 16, 2015 50lb..............Power Pro, or Spiderwire Stealth. Which ever one is on sale or in stock when I go to Walmart. These lines are pretty much identical, and I have no issues with either. For years I used Stealth exclusively, then for the last 5 years Power Pro almost exclusively, then this year, I have a mix of both and can't tell the difference. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted June 16, 2015 Super User Posted June 16, 2015 50lb Powerpro for frogs for me as well. Good stuff and it gets the job done. Quote
