johnmyers Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) I just bought a Dobyns CH806CB rod for big cranks and smaller a rigs. I have a Curado DPV 5.0:1 reel on spooled with 20lb Abrazx. 20 lb is probably too much for cranks but I don't want to go any lighter for a rigs. Any of you using this line for both baits and what line are you going with. Thinking about braid to leader Thanks Edited March 23, 2022 by johnmyers Spelling Quote
DomQ Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 I like braid for big baits, just a confidence thing I guess. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted March 23, 2022 Super User Posted March 23, 2022 I use 20lb shooter for A rigs when I pretend like I am actually for once in my life going to catch a GIANT on one. Never happens LOL Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 23, 2022 Global Moderator Posted March 23, 2022 20lb fluoro or mono is plenty for A-rigs. I use 20lb mono on mine and have landed stripers over 20lbs on it, it'll handle a bass just fine. Quote
johnmyers Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 Thanks and I am curious if using 20 lb floro how much it will change depth on a 10 xd opposed to 12 or 15 lb since I want to use this outfit for both a rigs and deep cranks Quote
Super User T-Billy Posted March 23, 2022 Super User Posted March 23, 2022 I use straight 40# braid for my A rigs. Lotsa wood where I fish and I like to get them back when I hang up. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted March 23, 2022 Super User Posted March 23, 2022 Wood and rocks eat Arigs unless I have strong line so I go with 50# on my Arig setups. Quote
