buzzfrog Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 I'm a top water guy. I have 2x hardbody top rods, 2 frog rods, 1 for dark colors and other for natural. I was tired of tieing on for buzz baits. I used a gift card to get a fenwick eagle from Dicks. Pair with 8 gear tatula. So the question braid or mono Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 20, 2016 Global Moderator Posted August 20, 2016 Mono of those two but I prefer copolymer. Buzzbaits are for fishing in nasty areas and need a line to get them out of those areas. 1 Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted August 20, 2016 Super User Posted August 20, 2016 I'm not a braid fan unless it's necessary but I've been using braid on buzzbaits all summer and really like it. I do fish them around a lot of vegetation though which is why I am using braid now. No issues around wood, either. Same rod I use buzz frogs on. Quote

Oklahoma Mike Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 30-40lb braid is my preference for buzzbaits. Quote
timsford Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I like 14-20 lb mono depending on the cover. I usually use big game or trilene xl. I've used braid but didn't like it on a fast action rod.. If you fish around grass I'd use braid Quote
stk44 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I've been using 12lb copolymer this season and last. It has worked out really well for me. I use it for buzzbaits and crankbaits on a MM glass rod. I have also not missed one buzzbait fish this year so it's the perfect combo in my eyes. Quote
Dan_the_fisher Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I don't use braid with buzz baits because I end up losing a lot of buzzbaits, if you make a miscast(which is common for me with buzzbaits) the wait of the buzzbaits and the blades tend to snap the braid for me. So I like 15-20 pound copoly Quote
