Does Anyone Use Mono for Jigs/Spinnerbaits?

[Brett's_daddy]

I know most people use either braid or fluorocarbon for jigs, spinnerbaits, t-rigs with senkos/craws but does anybody use mono for these techniques too like let's just say P-Line CXX clear (just an example)?

[SFL BassHunter]

I have no gripe with using mono for jigs or spinnerbaits. Especially spinnerbaits.

 

If I am bank fishing a clear water pond or canal I will without hesitation use mono. If I happen to have jigs and spinnerbaits with me and that is the line I am using then they will go on there too lol.

 

Disclaimer: The mono lines I use have less stretch than many others I have tried.

I use Sunline Mono and Senshi. They don't have the same stretch as your regular mono. They are also thinner diameter.

So...if mono can be used for jigs/spinnerbaits could fluoro be used for smaller topwaters like poppers, buzzbaits and spook type baits? I'm probably overthinking this but I'm just trying to find a good all-around line for my jack of all trades rod/reel setup. I have my heavy setup with braid for frogs, heavier topwaters and larger jigs/spinnerbaits and I'm using 12lb. Invizx for my crankbait rod now I just need the most versatile line for my most versatile rod and I'll be set :).

Not recommended since fluoro sinks

 

I'd personally do braid with leader for all around

[mwh33]

I use a mostly co-polymer and braid.

I use 30lb braid to 14lb sufix elite mono for jigs a lot. I catch fish just fine, dont notice any difference with 30lb braid to 15lb fluoro that i also use.

I pretty much use nylon for everything.

[roadwarrior]

No

this, 20 lb. if I'm in heavy cover.

[bigturtle]

If you guys watch bamabass on youtube, the guy catches double didgits frequently, and all he uses for jigs and texas rigs is 17lb stren mono. I personally dont like fluoro, but will use it if im going to be dragging stuff on the bottom all day.

Same here.  Braid for slop though

I personally don't but heavier mono will work.

How about something like Sunline Defier Armilo?

I only have two days of fishing this stuff, but I am loving it so far.  It's quite strong, seems to have the same amount of stretch as 12lb Invixz, and is really forgiving when it comes to working out backlashes.  I have it on my light jerk/crank combo and am thinking using it on my travel combo as well.

What the man said.

[Cgrinder]

CXX is good for spinnerbaits and fine for jigs. Shop by diameter.

 

Nylon mono is good for spinnerbaits as well. 

[CroakHunter]

I use cxx for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and cranking. Have used it with succes for every technique before. Shop by diameter. Breaking strength is higher than lb test. 

[bigfruits]

yo zuri hybrid is a great and cheap all-around line. not my first choice for jigs but great with moving baits.

[greentrout]

Berkley Trilene XL green 12# test.  Like a little stretch in the line when I spinner bait fish.

I actually like the Coastal Brown color and apparently the fish do too as I get plenty of bites. But yeah the 12# is on both my crankbait rods and 15# on a few other rods.

That guy does land some serious fish and I noticed he always uses that same 17# Stren. I have used Original Stren as well and it works fine too.

No!
