Must have fluro line sizes

[GoneFishingLTN]

The title pretty much says it all if you had 5 to 6 choices for size apply for Fluro what would they be and with what?

 

also how many different pound test is really needed if you wanted the best set ups all this is speaking roughly btw

[Jig Man]

I use 6, 8, 12, 15 # for the various ways that I fish.  I like to have 2-3 setups with each.

 

6  Ned

8  Crank

12 Shaky and jig

15 Spinner bait

[stk44]

6 drop shot/ finesee

8 drop shot/ finesse 

10 jerkbaits/ shakeyheads/ crankin 

12 crankin, light trigs 

15- senkos / laydowns/docks 

20- laydowns/ docks 

 

Its all personal preference

 

 

[Mike L]

Other than for punching I use Flouro on every combo I own. 

From 12# for moving baits to 20# for moderate to heavy vegetation.

I wouldn't normally use fluoro. 

[Deleted account]

Null set.

[WRB]

0, Fluorocarbon line isn't needed for bass fishing.

[J Francho]

I use 6, 10, and 15# Tatsu.

[Rich in Co]

6, 12, & 16

[long island basser]

I use 20 lb sniper for pitching plastics/jigs in heavier cover.

 

14 and 16 lb sniper for spinner baits, swim jigs, rattle traps, some  swimbaits, and crankbaits. Sparse cover plastics/jigs.

[Bluebasser86]

I have 8lb on one spinning rod, 14/15 on one baitcaster, 17 on a baitcaster, and 20 on a baitcaster. I only use it for a few applications as I prefer to use copolymer when I'm "suppose" to use fluoro.

I carry 4 spools of flouro with me at all time for making leaders. Main line on all my reels is braid.

 

The sizes I carry:

 

8lb: Drop shot/finesse stuff

 

12lb: GP use

 

15lb: GP use when moderate cover is involved

 

17lb: heavier cover use.

 

If I need line heavier than 17lb, i just tie straight to the braid. Usually 30 or 50lb. Works for me.

What does gp stand for?

[J Francho]

General Purpose, most likely.

[GoneFishingLTN]

When you go from braid to fluro how do you know how long you want your leader for like jigs or  are all roughly the same length?

[J Francho]

I generally use an arm's length of leader.

[Darren.]

6, 8, 10 Gamma Edge

 

Like @J Francho, I use my arm(s) to gauge leader length.

I'm toying with jumping up in size (one of these days) for

saltwater, though thus far, 10 in Gamma, and 10 in Yo-Zuri

Hybrid has been enough for 20" striper, etc. Can't wait to

find the bigger fishies in the sea  

[rosshilk]

I keep on hand 8, 12, and 15. 8 for Finesse. 12 for moving baits (cranks, Spinnerbaits, swimjigs). 15 for jigs and Texas rigs

I honestly judge this based on how my leader knot goes through the rod. If it does not work too well I use a short leader. For crankbaits I use a 25 ft or more leader. It all depends on preference and how the knot performs leading the spool and the rod eyes.

[DINK WHISPERER]

#15 Abrazx leader for deep cranking and #17-20 Abrazx for deep Carolina rigging.
