Green Trout Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I fish in super rough wood that scrapes line badly. Would 20lb Trilene XT work for my worm fishing in 1-10ft of water on a baitcaster or would that be too stiff? Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted July 5, 2015 Super User Posted July 5, 2015 17 is probably all you need. I have fished 17 for many years and never needed anything more than that in any kind of cover. 2 Quote
BASSPATROL247 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 17 is also the highest for me line wise for all my fishing with mono,fluro etc.. i use 30lb fireline once in a while but not often.. Quote
IAY Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 17 pound XT is as thick as 30 pound breaking strength line. I am sure you will be fine with their 14... Quote
d-camarena Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 15lb is probably enough honestly. With any line you have to retie often to avoid breakoffs Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted July 5, 2015 Super User Posted July 5, 2015 Maxima Ultragreen Line may be the most abrasion resistant monofiliment line I've every fished. A-Jay Quote
BASSPATROL247 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 15lb CXX I bought some of the 15 and it was about the stiffest line ive ever used/use and kinda a pain to manage, but also very strong,comparable to xt possibly a tad stronger but xt is way more managable for me... Quote
dam0007 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Yes I just switched completely over to Sunline, but will say I would recommend Seaguar AbrazX for lots of wood and brush. I never had a prob with AbrazX and it has always held up extremely well in rough cover. As far as mono Sufix Siege in the higher # tests seemed to me to be more manageable than XT or Big Game. Quote
jtharris3 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 XT has worked well for me in those same situations. I usually went with 17lb. Quote
