BW208 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 Trilene xl people were saying they didn't use mono for cranking that's what I asked that. Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 I used Berkley 12 lb Big Game mono for crankbaits for decades and changed to Sunline Deifer Armilo Nylon 13 lb, it's the same diameter as Big Game 10 lb., .012. Smaller dia allows the deep divers to dive deeper! Tom 2 Quote
Joe H. Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I used Berkley 12 lb Big Game mono for crankbaits for decades and changed to Sunline Deifer Armilo Nylon 13 lb, it's the same diameter as Big Game 10 lb., .012. Smaller dia allows the deep divers to dive deeper! Tom I use 12 lb big game as well for deep cranking. Been looking at defier for a long time, haven't gotten the guts to buy a spool yet. Quote
Neil McCauley Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Trilene 6 lb XL smooth. Only times I use mono anymore is when I want long casting distance. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 I used Berkley 12 lb Big Game mono for crankbaits for decades and changed to Sunline Deifer Armilo Nylon 13 lb, it's the same diameter as Big Game 10 lb., .012. Smaller dia allows the deep divers to dive deeper! Tom I have been using the Sunline Deifer Armilo in 13,17, 20 & 24 & really like it based on your recommendation. Thanks Tom. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted July 19, 2015 Super User Posted July 19, 2015 I have stuck with Trilene XT. Never gave me any reason to leave. I have tried Sufix Siege recently and like it but I just stick to my XT. Quote
Quesenek Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I've been using the Cajun red mono lately, over all I cannot really say anything against it, I can cast a mile with it and the line has nonexistent memory which is amazing for how cheap a spool of line is. The only reason I would switch to something else would be to try something new. Quote
jtharris3 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Maxima Ultragreen premium copolymer monofilament and Stren Magnaflex ~ A-Jay That's a lot of line! Trilene XT green for me. P-Line FlouroClear on my spinning tackle. Quote
riverbasser13 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Yozuri hybrid #8 and sunline supernatural also in #8 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted July 19, 2015 Super User Posted July 19, 2015 Grew up using XL. Still use some. Main reason for switching was to try other lines. Sufix Elite is another great line for low memory. I've got bigger spools of Big Game, Red Cast and AN40 plus quite a few of the 330yd spools of Siege. I prefer Siege and Red Cast to Big Game when it comes to low memory. Its toughness gives it a little more memory compared to the other two. However, once good and wet it works great. Siege coils on the water at first after sitting awhile, but it doesn't seem to coil on the reel those first few casts like Big Game does. The AN40 is a line I just started using so no concrete opinion yet, but so far I like it. I also like Super Natural. Never tried the high dollar lines. Hard to spend that kind of money when the low cost lines work so well. However, the same thing can be said about rods and reels, and that hasn't stopped me from using ones costing more than really necessary. So guess I eventually will try some of the top tier (price wise) lines. Quote
HeavyDluxe Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Grew up using Stren... Dad was a duPont employee, and his plant was one of the ones where the mono was made. When we fished salt water in the Delaware Bay, we used 14lb *yellow* Stren. ("If it breaks 14lb Stren, I don't want it in our boat.") Now use Trilene XL after a couple of bad run-ins with Stren when I started fishing again as an adult. Admittedly, the bad stuff was probably just due to line that had sat on the shelf for too long, but... I'm still one of those traditionalists... I fish spinning tackle only, all strung with mono. 2lb for my UL trout/panfish setup, 6lb for my M soft plastics rod, and 12lb for my MH jig rod. 1 Quote
Silas Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I use a lot of Sunline Fluoro and like it. I have a lot of respect for Tom's suggestions so I'll get some Sunline Defier. At present I have bulk spool of 3,000 yards of Silver Thread and bulk spool of Yozuri Hybrid 6lb. Izorline is pretty nice too for cranking. 12lb test. 1 Quote
blckshirt98 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 What do you guys use for cranking? Flouro? I have a reel spooled with 20lb Sniper FC for cranks/vibrating swim jigs. Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted July 20, 2015 Super User Posted July 20, 2015 Mono: Trilene XT Co-Polymer: Yo-Zuri Hybrid These lines stretch the least of any non-braid lines I've tested, and they are so tough from an abrasion standpoint. Quote
