Buffdaddy54 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Ok, so here is my next question to you guys. I've got 2 baitcasters spooled with braid. 1 Spinning Reel spooled with braid, what should I put on the 2 other Spinning reels I have? I was thinking florocarbon on one but not sure what to put on the other. Monofilament? Quote
CroakHunter Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 What do you plan to use them for? I would suggest braid in spinning reels because of the good handling and thin diameter of braid. Fluoro and mono don't handle as well on spinning reels. Just my .02 What do you plan to use them for? I would suggest braid in spinning reels because of the good handling and thin diameter of braid.

rcg703 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I’m not a fan of flouro on spinning reels. Manageability issues galore. Quote
CroakHunter Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Braid (soft plastics) or braid to a mono leader when using treble hooks would be my preference for the lures you stated. Quote

I would definitely go with braid to leader. You can remove the leader for topwater and add a mono leader or fish straight braid, and add a fluorocarbon leader of the appropriate size for the lake for soft plastics so they will sink. If you are trying to save money, you could put mono on one for topwater, and fluorocarbon on the other and use the one with braid for whatever. However do consider that braid does tend to last a long time and has no memory, so you'll only be saving money up front. Quote
Buffdaddy54 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Posted March 15, 2018 Thank you everybody. Seems the concenses is to go with braid. Quote
LAO162 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Mono has been on freshwater spinning reels for decades. I think the line twist issues started only in the last 10 years You may also want to check out some of the copolymer lines. 1 Quote
shovelmouth83 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 YO Zuri has great lines and a co ploy Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted March 15, 2018 Super User Posted March 15, 2018 More braid IMO, but I am pretty partial to using braid to a leader for most applications and letting the rod be the shock absorber. Quote
