Brett's_daddy Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 So what's the good, the bad and the ugly on this braid? Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted April 18, 2017 Super User Posted April 18, 2017 It's really great stuff. Trust me, if anyone knows good fishing line, it's me... 2 Quote
Super User NHBull Posted April 18, 2017 Super User Posted April 18, 2017 I too am curious as I always thought it was primarily used for flipping and frogging ???? Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted April 18, 2017 Super User Posted April 18, 2017 It's a 4 carrier braid, and it acts as such. Hence why they market it for flipping and frogging. Quote
Brett's_daddy Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 Is it JUST for frogging and flipping or can it be used as normal braided line would be? Quote
RichF Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Best braid I've ever used. What do you mean by "used as normal braided line would be?" To me, flipping and frogging is the braid norm. Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted April 19, 2017 Super User Posted April 19, 2017 A frog is a topwater... I flip my jigs... Quote
RichF Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 What @fishballer06 said... It will certainly work for other top water baits but remember, the lightest it comes in is 50lb. That wouldn't be the greatest for small spooks or poppers but it'd be fine for buzzbaits, ploppers, etc. It also works great with jigs. I too flip jigs most of the time but I also have a rod with #50 FX2 I use for dock skipping and pitching. Quote
Brett's_daddy Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 Okay, yup that is what I wanted to know. If I get this line it would be 50lb. for frogs, jigs and larger topwaters like Whopper Plopper 130's, MS Mini Slammers, Spro BBZ1 Rat and Savage Gear Suicide Duck etc. 1 Quote
BassinFoCo1417 Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 I use it on my flippin and pitching setups, fantastic line! It is loud running through the guides, but that's personally not an issue. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted April 20, 2017 Super User Posted April 20, 2017 FX2 is SUPER durable braid, but I found it to be incredibly rough and relatively large in diameter. Ti recoil guide users may want to opt for a smoother, 8 carrier braid. Otherwise it's awesome though. Really tough stuff! Quote
Cgrinder Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 I had some and I swear it sinks. The blue/green pattern is awesome though. Quote
dam0007 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Great line! Use the 50 for buzzbaits and soft body frogs and the 60 for hollow body frogs and flipping/punching! Quote
