Super User Montanaro Posted September 12, 2015 Super User Posted September 12, 2015 Just got the twilight pattern duo spinbait 90 today and had a line size question. I've used the 80 before on 8lb fc and felt like 10 wouldn't have been stretching it. With the 90, I've read 12lb but do you think I can get by with 15lb copoly (cx premium has smaller diameter than most copoly) or should I bring my 12lb fc reel with me on my kayak. Quote
poisonokie Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Man, i think it will work fine if you use a snap instead of a terminal knot. That way line diameter doesn't affect the shimmy of the bait. Quote
poisonokie Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I like to go as heavy as I can because I can't stand losing $14 baits. I'm giving 20# braid a shot next time with a spinbait 80. Quote
Trey Harpel Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 use the lightest line you can get away with...12lb is about as high as i go with the 90s... you can use braid though as many guys have up on lake St clair... Quote

Super User WRB Posted September 12, 2015 Super User Posted September 12, 2015 The Spinbait 90 weighs 1/2 oz and is a slow sinking lure, I would think any FC that doesn't exceed the lure mfr recommendation should be OK, if it's .011D or less. Tom Quote

Will Wetline Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks, I haven't seen that. I hadn't come across it either. Been doing really well with the Spinbait 80 on 6 lb. FC. Quote
