What Lb Braided Test Should I Use On My Spinning Reel?

[Choporoz]

20# PP with 8# Yo Zuri Hybrid leader.  Love the 'manageability' and the visibility of the braid.

10lb SX1

I never use more than 10lb on my spinning reel. never have a need to use a larger diameter which IMO provides less performance and is overkill.  I use 30 size Quantum reels.

I recently tried Sufix Performance Braid. One of the quietest braids I've used and the cheapest. Good stuff. Try 15-20# range.

My favorite braid.  I only have it on one spinning rod in I believe 20lb but it is thin enough that I don't see reason to go down any further.

I use the 65 for heavy flipping, frogs, buzzbaits, spooks... really anything on a baitcaster!  I love it!

I use 12 lb sunline sx to a 6 lb leader, works fine only the leader knot I use (blood knot) is really hard to tie with this particular braid. Usually takes me a few tries.

Blood knots are great but hard to tie. There is a trick to tie them easy. You end up with the same number of wraps on each line and your tags both come out the same side but it's a easy blood knot.

I'll try that sometime, thanks. Ya it's not too much of a problem with heavier braid to fluoro but with 12 lb it once took me 20 tries to get it to cinch right! Pretty frustrating when you're on the water.
