Line question

[Bass Junke]

@Bankc good advise. I have been on the line journey for a couple of years now. Honestly, I have not had a bad experience with any line I have used in the past. Even that year I spooled up a spinning reel with 8lb. Sniper. No problems just didn't see an advantage. My line journey now is about line diameters. The dilemma here is do I focus on lines with the lowest diameter or keep using what I am used to and adjust based on diameter. 

Most of the folks on BR would find my jig setup for last year...risky. 12lb. Pline Floroclear. Floroclear doesn't get a lot of love on this site. I have been using it for years, 8,10,and 12lb. with no issues. 

 

What I am looking at now is

Sunline Defier used it last year on my jerk bait rod. Amazing mono. super thin.

Sunline super natural on one of my spinning rods. Also awesome just as thin as Defier and almost as nice. 

Pline C21 copoly have some on my second spinning rod. Not used much last year. Was a little jumpy on the spool at first but settled down. This line is also very thin but not as nice as the two Sunline products. The advantage with this line that it can be bought in larger spools. 

Pline Floroclear Not giving up on this yet. 

Finally I think I am going to try a Flouro again. Tackle Tour called Tatsu an almost perfect line. It gets a lot of love on this site also. That is enough for me. So that will go on the new Metanium and a Chronarch that needs new line.

So far I have settled on braid to fluoro leader on my spinning set ups.  I then choose straight fluoro for most everything else:   Jigs, moving baits (chatters, cranks, swimbaits), Texas rigs.   I do use straight braid for frogs, punching I weeds, a lot of topwater baits, and if I have to make really long casts and set the hook.   
 

I am not sure if this is correct or not.  I am not sure I can even justify a lot of it.   It seems to be my confidence and more importantly my standard I have practices with and used for a while.  I believe I have developed a “FEEL” with these setups so “I” know what a bite feels like and how I need to handle the fish to get them landed.
