timely topic, cause ive been thinking about a new line for my heavy cover fishing

Me too! I don't really want to use braid this year (used Power Pro last year) so I am now looking for an alternative. I picked up a spool of 17 lbs. P- Line CXX.........maybe. :-/

cajun1977, what type of cover do you flip/pitch? What lbs. line are you using? What type of bait are you flippin'/pitchin'? Just curious. 8-)

weeds,brush, timber, 12 pound, and mostly jigs and trigs. let me say first off i am very happy with the way my line has produced, but i just feel like im playing on borrowed time, by not going to a braid or superline

I used to use 12# and liked it just fine until I was yoyo-ing my jig over an underwater branch and a huge bass wrapped me up and broke me off. I only bumped it up to 15# and it made a huge difference.

15-20 pound Yo-Zuri Hybrid... Sometimes I'll switch over to braid, but not often.

16lb berkley vanish or 50lb suffix braid for the nasty stuff

If I am truly flippin'; i.e. the nasty sh!t...dense salad or super heavy cover...I use 15lb Pline CXX.  I love the Berkley Pro-Grade fluoro, but with flippin' you are going for a reaction strike as if you were fishing a crank or spinnerbait.  You want the bass to make a quick decision, and you want to haul him in pronto.  I don't feel fluoro will benefit you in these circumstances.  Granted I don't live in Florida, but I just moved to Texas and I'm still sticking to what I've spooled for years

Truly flipping in the thick stuff I use 50 lb. Sufix Braid.  You better hope you don't get hung up.  You'll never break it without help like a cut off piece of broom handle.

pline is what im using right now, and im happy with it, but i just wanna try something else just for giggles

i was just about to go buy some 12lb. i know its good for flippin/pitching cover but how did you like it as far as fishing with a crankbait through grass/weeds/crankin it along the bottom
