bassheel Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Anybody use p-line cxxx for worm fishing? What lb test? I love the 15lb for S/B. I was thinking maybe something in the 10lb range for worms. Never used floro or braid.Right now I use 14lb sensation green. It is ok but maybe there is something better. I cant afford to try different lines all the time. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I do some, I use 15-20 for heavier duty applications and c rigs. I've been switching over to all flouro but in muddy water I still use it some. Its a great line but I dont fish alot of muddy water anymore so its being replaced. Quote
lubina Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I use it for big swimbaits, is very strong and cast well, for worms I prefer something more sensitive and with less memory, like braid Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 28, 2006 Super User Posted November 28, 2006 I fished P-Line CXX for a couple of years, but the coiling, especially in cold weather, was terrible. My soft plastics rig is M/F spinning tackle and #6 (11.9 lb test) Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft. On baitcasting gear I spool up Hybrid Ultra Soft #12 (19.5 lb test). These lines have virtually no memory in use and I have never been broken off by a fish using these lines. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted November 28, 2006 Super User Posted November 28, 2006 That P-line has way too much spool memory for worm fishing, or for any technique requiring any amount of slck in the line. Sensation is better. If it works for you, an you're unable to afford a lot of experimentation, why change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Don't take that the wrong way, I'm not trying to be a smart alec. There are a lot of good lines out there, and everybody will tell you that the one they use is the best. Well, they can't all be right now, can they? Experiment as best you can. You'll discover what works for you. My current favorite for worming; for all plastics, is Transition. It's a little pricey. I like it because I'm color-blind, and a lot of lines are hard for me to see. I can see the Transition just fine. I used to use Sensation. Transition is a step up, in my opinion. The Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft is also a step up from Sensation. It's not as expensive as Transition, but has more memory. There's always a trade off. There is no one line perfect for every application. If there were, you wouldn't get so many different opinions. And, keep in mind that is just what they are; opinions. Cheers, GK Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 28, 2006 Super User Posted November 28, 2006 To follow-up on ghot's post: There is no "best" line, there are only "favorite" lines. Every line currently available has its pluses and minuses. There are always trade-offs. Quote
