Jacob Phelps Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 I will be adding a new rod to my arsenal this winter. A medium power, fast action casting rod to be exact. I'd like to use it as an all-around rod using it for jerkbaits, topwater, small spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, texas rigs, and maybe some weightless senkos and flukes. My question is what is your opinion of line choice? I go braid to fluoro on my spinning rods and have braid on my jig rod, but was thinking about doing straight fluoro, probably 12 pound. What do you guys think? Quote
Yudo1 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Fluoro would be fine for everything except topwater because it sinks. Quote
smr913 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 30 or 40# braid and a fc leader has always worked for me. Micro guides can be a pain as the K of can get hung up on the cast. Everytime I try straight fc I end up going back to braid so I'm a little biased. Quote

Super User fishnkamp Posted January 1, 2017 Super User Posted January 1, 2017 A line like P Line CXX in 10 pound test might be a good compromise. If you go that way use 20 pound in moss green. It breaks around 23 pounds. Also treat it with line conditioner. It has a bit of memory. Quote
