Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted April 29, 2008 Super User Posted April 29, 2008 10 lb big game here Quote
Super User RoLo Posted April 30, 2008 Super User Posted April 30, 2008 I tie everything to PowerPro braid...I live on the edge! : Roger Quote
Super User Raul Posted April 30, 2008 Super User Posted April 30, 2008 got talking today at a local shop and the discussion of line for crankbaits came up...so what are you guys using? What I 've used for over 2 decades, Trilene Big Game. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted April 30, 2008 Super User Posted April 30, 2008 By the by, hybrid line and copolymer line are one and the same, any blend of nylon and fluorocarbon. Quote
lknbassman Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 P Line's Floroclear 10 or 12# for cranks. Sinks almost as good as 100% flouro, costs 1/2 as much, and gives a little which is ideal for cranking so the fish can hook themselves. Have had zero pull outs on any fish this season with it. Love it. Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 I use mono because I want enough stretch to keep from ripping the hook loose when setting the hook. Quote
The Next KVD Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 P-Line 100% Fluorocarbon 10lb on a MH rod w/ a moderate action. Quote
Stringjam Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 20 lb. PowerPro Braid with a short P-Line CXX leader (for abrasion against rocks and crank lips). I don't get the whole "stretchy" line thing for cranks.....especially deep cranks. I want to know exactly what that bait is doing at all times. Even David Fritts uses the lowest stretch mono's he can. 20' diving crankbait + 100' cast + stretchy mono = MUSH. Quote
basser89 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I have two crankbait rods. Both are spooled with 10# test, but one I have spooled with XPS fluro and the other with Berkley Sensation. Quote
NICKJ Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Mono for cranks, specifically Trilene Big Game. I like being able to buy the bigger spools of it and not spend an arm and a leg. Never had a problem with it so why change? Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted May 3, 2008 Super User Posted May 3, 2008 12-20 Gig Game in green. Quote
