What line should I get ?

[frenzy]

Right now im struggling with line choices.. Theres so many choices and I was hoping some of you experts can lead me to some good stuff

Currently, im using Sufix Seige 12lb on a Fleuger Echelon baitcaster with a 6'6 MH crank/spinbait rod.

My other setup is Sufix Seige 18lb on a Quantum Energy baitcaster with a 7'0 H jig/worm rod.

Are these line choices correct for what im trying to accomplish ? Is there anything else anyone could recommend me trying ? Such as some brand of braided ?

Thanks for any help,

if you are going to try braid get sufix performance braid.use 12/50 for the 12 lb rod and 16/65 for the other rod.i use sufix braid for everything.

Frenzy, are you having any problems with Seige? Why the change?

I saw you're from Michigan. I would think you'd be using lighter line than what you indicated. Have you considered going down in size. Just a thought. I'm not criticizing your rigs, but my experience is that lighter line gets more bites. Other will dispute this. That's cool. Everybody has different experiences. On your lighter rig, 10lb test will get your crankbaits deeper than 12. But, look at the line weight rating on your rod. If you go under the minimum, you'll probably have some break off problems. Ditto for the heavier rig. Something lighter than 18, like maybe 14 will cast better and have less memory. Some people are just more comfortable with heavier line. I'm more confident with lighter line.

You may want to consider flouro, particularly for your worming and jigging. I'm using Transition. When it first hit the market it was worthless. The new formula is pretty good. It handles easy, has a lot less memory than the previous version and is very sensitive.

I started using Vanish for cranks, and so far I like it. I also tried Silver Thread, and found it to be a good crankbait line.

There are so many lines availabe, and none of them are perfect for all applications.

Good luck with your research,

I've heard good things about Seige line. A couple of friends use it exclusively. I've been experimenting with different lines for a couple of years. Seige is on my list to try. Also Gamma.

I'm not quite sure whether you're looking for a superior brand of monofilament line

or if you're anguishing between mono and braid.

Among all the hybrid monos I've tried, I like three: Sufix Siege, Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft and Berkley Sensation.

I love Sufix Siege, it's first-class line, but I tried it with spinning gear and it had too much memory for my personal liking.

I no longer use monofilament or cofilament lines, but use PowerPro braid exclusively for both baitcasting and spinning.

If I use mono for anything it would be a short trace of fluorocarbon leader.

Thanks for the help. Good stuff..

I think I might try some lighter lines like mentioned. But I also am seriously thinking of switchig to some braid, probably the sufix performace braid. From the looks of it, the stuff I have been using is liked by many, so i'll always resort to seige if the braid doesn't work for me

Thanks again for the input.

I went to Stren DuraTuf after a friend whom works for FLW gave me a bunch of promo line last year. I really like it on baitcasters. I have tried 12# and 14# as well as 20# for flipping and it has been great. I have fished some trashy areas on the Lower Potomac this line has yet to fail me.
