Spinning Reel Lines???

[Curly]

I have a Loomis GLX Bronzeback rod 6'10" for 1/8>3/8 oz lures. My reel is a Shimano Sustain 2500FD spinning reel. I must be way off on line selection given the performance... or lack of for this setup.

What it the best 6lb>10lb line for this setup? At the moment I have Maxima line on it. It discolors in a few hours and sounds like wire going thru the guides. It also seems to be programmed to jump off the spool ;D

I am not concerned about price.

I was given some Gama but after watching how that worked on a Stella I decided I wouldn't even bother putting it on :

(I like yozuri hybrid ultra soft for spinning tackle but tried it this weekend on baitcasting gear and it will now be used for backing.  Did not like it at all on BC equipment.

I have Gamma on one of my saltwater spinning reels, no issues.

Try a spool of #6 (11.9 lb test) Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft. That's what I fish and you might like it, too!

Was the Gamma you didn't like the fluorocarbon or copolymer? I've used the latter on a Daiwa 2500 size reel with no problems. Original Stren, Trilene XL, Berkley Sensation, and I'm sure others, are all spinning-friendly.

I was given 6lb Gamma Edge 100% Flurocarbon Competition Grade line. My buddy had used it... maybe a little heavier on his Stella and had terrible day fussing with line messes and was ready to toss the whole outfit in the river(a location I would have made note of). He was happy with it on his baitcaster though and casts very far with a computerized BC reel? on some type of Loomis Rod. I have never used a BC reel but the performance was impressive that's for sure.

Well I must have just gotten the wrong stuff with this Maxima Ultragreen. Been fishing on the Columbia River mainly and long casts can make all the difference at times when your in really shallow water or fishing from the bank. Also want to throw light stuff so it just drifts down to those big boulders. I will try the Yo-Zuri suggestion on the Shimano/Loomis setup. I do have an extra spool for that outfit so I should try something different on it also for a good comparision I guess. On the Fenwick I will try one of the others. That outfit I used for 4 or 5 years so I will notice the difference there easily. I feel like you got me steered in the right direction, looking forward the next outing now.

Any other thoughs are certainly welcomed.

Thanks Guys

I just put some Suffix Elite 8lbs on my Stradic 2500 and it works great!  It was actually pretty reasonalble considering how big the spool is - I think it was almost 300 yards so, I'll be using it all season.

It was recommended to me by guys who are much better fisherman than I am.  ;-)

McCoy Mean Green is great mono for spinning reels. Very limp and casts very well.
