Favorite Line for Plastics and Jigs on a Baitcaster?

[aggiebassin]

12-15 # pline cxx on my casting reels.  i use 15# for pithing in fairly heavy cover, (not matted grass or heavy timber), in an around reeds/grass.  

on my spinning reels i use some stren extra strength 8#.  i like it.  it is one of my favorite lines ever.  although it is somewhat hard to find.

some complain that CXX has too much memory....but it is super strong and tough....it doesn't play around.  i have never broken off on a fish and if you hang up in a tree/rock it isn't easy to break at all

I like the Power Pro but I have issues fishing it in wood when the wind is blowing.  When the wind blows and you are setting plastics right against the bases it seems to always 'catch' or 'stick' to the tree!  Then I am trying to get it off all the time.  It seems like velco!  

I switched to 17 and 20 mono and the stuff just slides off and right down the base.  

I still have some PP on a few rods but all my pitching rods are now rigged with mono or floro.

This is my second year of Bass fishing seriously but I have tried all kinds of line.  My current favorite is 15 pound P-line CX premium.  Its pretty inexpensive, practically disappears in water and has a smaller diameter than most other lines (this is much more apparent in the lower pound tests though).  It also has good abrasion resistance.  Theres my two pennies.  I fish with a bunch of my buddies and I think we all have different lines that we choose to use.  I am still in the feeling out stages though and have spent a fortune on different lines already this year.

This is a very good choice.  P-line CX Premium is a common choice here in Texas, and is limp and strong.  I prefer CXX, but I don't mind a little memory to gain a no-nonsense line that is almost indestructible.  Being fairly new, I just wanted to confirm your choice is very recognizable as a choice made frequently here in big bass country.  

Thanks a lot, man.  I appreciate the heads up.  Its nice to know I have found a well liked line that can stand up to some of those Texas hawgs.

Should handle these Eastern Kentucky 3lbers without much a problem then, huh?

Since I mostly fish crystal clear reservoirs in Southern California, I mainly stick with 8 or 10# flurocarbon (Daiwa DEF BASS or Seaguar Invis-X).

There are times I will move up to 12# fluorocarbon when fishing larger/ heavier jigs, but that is rare and noticed a significant decrease in bites.

I have used 1 ounce jigs as deep as 80' of water at Diamond Valley Lake and had no issues with hook sets when using 10# fluorocarbon. 12-15# fluorocarbon is more sensitive when fishing that deep and shouldn't affect the bite percentage, but it will hamper the sink rate. Since I am fishing main lake points and the fish are stacked on a single pile of rocks most of the time, I need the jig to sink as fast a possible.

I recently got back from fishing the FLW National Guards at the Delta and pitching/flipping with 20# fluorocarbon was something else to say the least. We were fishing in cold/muddy water and the fish didn't seem to mind the heavier line one bit. Guys were even getting bit on 65# braid!

Vicious Fluorocarbon 15 pound test, for womin. 17 pound test for flippin and pitchin. Vicious Ultimate Copolymer in clear blue flo 14 pound test for night time wormin! I love Vicious I have yet to find a better line period. Fluorocarbon is 1/2 the price of most others as well, of course price don't really matter. It's just nice to know that some companies still make a great product and don't mark it up by 75%!
