Copolymer line for a jig rod

[Arobb2012]

I have a 7'6" h/f casting rod paired with an ambassador c4 4600 reel. I plan on using it for jigs for the time being till I can get a dedicated setup for jigs. My question is would 14lb p-line flouroclear work for jigs? I have a partial spool of it from last season.

Why wouldn't it?

Just wondering about the line stretch if it will affect hookups.

When I fished the Floroclear years ago it was undependable and broke easily (on the cast!). If you want fluorocarbon I would recommend #15 Tatsu or AbrazX. Copolymer would be #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid, P-Line CXX or Isorline.

No personal use with Flouroclear but another angler I fish with frequently also told me that he had breakage issues with Flouroclear.

I know P-Line CXX is a strong line. I have used some of that in 17 pound test that just might be the strongest line I have ever used. I most frequently use 14 and 17 pound test Trilene XT mono for jigs. The only reason I drop down to 14 pound test is when I feel conditions warrant longer casts.

I have been using flouroclear for the past couple of years and haven't had an issue with breakage. I am going to use fluorocarbon or braid on my jig set up when I get one.

I'm starting to really really like 12 yozuri .. Been catching a lot of fish on it .. And it's extremely versatile in throwing all forms of jig .

I like yozuri hybrid and I just recently picked up a spool of #12 cxx. First thing I noticed is it's a larger diameter than most other #12 lines. It's more like #14/15 from other brands.

I've been using 15lb yozuri for my lighter jig setup and it works great.

Yea. Pline is a thicker line anyway. You'll be fine. Usually has pretty good abrasion resistance too. Just can't like the memory.

McCoy copoly

I've gone back to almost all Pline on my jig rods. Just don't feel like the benefits of fluoro outweigh all the hassles and the cost of the stuff. I mainly use C21 though, not a big fan of the fluoroclear.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm going to give the flouroclear a shot since I have some already. I'm definitely going to look into the tatsu lines, it seems to be a favorite here along with the yo-zuri hybrid line.
