mono and crankbaits

[rosewalt]

Is everyone using mono with their crank baits. That seems to be what is recommended however I was going to try floro to get more depth. Any thoughts.

I would stick with regular mono! The fluorocarbon lines are not as abrasion resitant as companies claim.

Try Sunline Defier or Sufix Siege which is not as expensive.

Sunline Defier is quite expensive.  It is around $40 for 330 yards.

I'd say it's very expensive but it is awesome line!

I use mono because when a fish hits it I like to have a little more stretch so I don't rip it out of its mouth since it's moving when he hits it.

I use Trilene XL for my crankbaits, and it's never failed me. It's very good line and it doesn't cost an arm and leg.

I use Maxima mono for cranking.

I use P-Line CX most of the time except in those rare occasions that I want to go really deep, them I switch to fluoro.

I picked up some P-line CXX extra strong in 10lb. It has a larger diamiter than the CX but should be stronger. Is this a good line for cranking?

if your using a graphite rod you deffinitely need mono.w/ a glass rod flouro might get you a ft. deeper or so.if your trying to get 15' or more deep then flouro might help you do that.i use an40 thin diameter co-polymer w/ a composite rod.

#12 P-Line CXX Extra Strong.

stren superbraid  14/4 or 20/6 with a med. action rod.  I perfer the rod to give not my line.

I fish a lot for Smallies and have always used 10lb Ande's line for most of my crankin'.

I've never lost a fish becouse of the line and you can't beat the price.

i use cajun red cast and tryline xt ..... bolth are monos .... now this is tricky because if you have a crankin stick ( glass or graph ) you should be fine with the cxx ..... due to the mod action of a crankin stick i see less need for such stretchy monos ......  a crankin stick has a forgiving tip so your tip should give you the play you need .... ( in theroy )..... as for the cxx it should be ok ... but id use the cx instead just because it seems to have less memory and a smaller dia.  so if you went with a cx in 12lb it would be like a cxx in 10lb ( dia wise )  ;D

Same as above.

[sal669]

I use 10lb P-Line CX with 6'-6" medium power, moderate action rod.

I also use Yo-zuri Hybrid ultra soft for my crankbaits.  It has some line stretch but not as much as monos.

[Stringjam]

I use PowerPro braid and varying diameters of copolymer, low stretch leader.   I want to feel precisely what my bait is doing and contacting at all times - especially deep cranking.
