Bigchunk Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Thinking about switching to big game for my flippin rods, been using seaguar Abrasx and flipping flouro #20 lb, thinking about switching to big game #25, flipping shallow wood 3/8 to 1/2 oz baits. Lmk thanks Quote
d-camarena Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Yes it will work. 20lb is plenty but 25 will be great 1 Quote
Bigchunk Posted October 20, 2017 Author Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks! I don't feel like paying for the flouro any more. Quote

Looking for the big one Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I have used big game, but prefer P-line CXX. Less stretch, more abrasion resistant. Big game is great line though, I'd feel safe flipping wood with it. Quote
Stephen B Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Although Big Game is a great value, I find it has more memory than I personally like. I like Stren and Trilene XL much more. I definitely agree that fluorocarbon is pricey. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted October 23, 2017 Super User Posted October 23, 2017 I use big game on a regular basis. Cxx is another good one too, BUT it’s thicker. Cxx 12 is big game 15. It’s easier to just pick up a 600yd spool if bg from Walmart for $6. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Have you tried CXX or Izorline XXX? Both imo are much better then big game and very affordable. Quote
evo2s197 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 The toughest mono/copolymer hands down is Maxima Ultragreen, it reminds me a lot of a flourocarbon line without the knot breakage issues, use 20-25 pound for flippin and you'll straighten out a standard non super braid hook before the line breaks if your hung up. Maxima Ultragreen with a Palomar Knot is an awesome combo. Big Game is a good economy line for heavy duty use, but it's way too stretchy and not as abrasion resistant. Quote
