Castamasta Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 any of you guys have suggestions for the best line with superior abrasion resistance when fishing rocks? thanks Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted May 19, 2008 Super User Posted May 19, 2008 Abrasion resistance is EXACTLY why I choose Trilene XT. Toughest line I've ever fished and the new formula is even better!! Quote
ABC123 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Mono, Trilene XT, braid, Stren Superbraid, Suffix braid, original Spiderwire. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted May 20, 2008 Super User Posted May 20, 2008 braid, Stren Superbraid, Suffix braid, original Spiderwire. Rub that braid on a rock and see just how abrasion resistant it is. Quote
Super User Tin Posted May 20, 2008 Super User Posted May 20, 2008 braid, Stren Superbraid, Suffix braid, original Spiderwire. Rub that braid on a rock and see just how abrasion resistant it is. Yup, that is a bad combo. I like the Trilene 100% flouro Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 20, 2008 Super User Posted May 20, 2008 Mono, Trilene XT, braid, Stren Superbraid, Suffix braid, original Spiderwire. Braid frays and cuts... XT or Big Game is fine. P-Line CXX, Yo-Zuri Hybird/ Ultra Soft, Gamma, other copolymers plus all fluorocarbons will work. Abrasion resistance is an attribute not associated with braid. 8-) Quote
thetr20one Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 braid, Stren Superbraid, Suffix braid, original Spiderwire. Rub that braid on a rock and see just how abrasion resistant it is. Yup, that is a bad combo. I like the Trilene 100% flouro X3 Braid is terrible in rocks. When I throw cranks in rocky areas i use Ironsilk.. It is tough Quote
hawgchaser Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 A good flouro would be the best bet or maybe some of the copolymers. Braid is a big no no with rocks. I used to fish with Big game on the Arkansas river. I fished cranks all in the rocks and it did really well. I would re-tie fairly often but it did well. Now I like Seagur and Triple fish X Rated for this application. Quote
ABC123 Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I must be getting lucky then, I have been using Sufix and Stren braid on the river becouse of all the junk floating and rocky rapids. So far the braid has held up well, wish I could say the same for the regular Yo-Zuri Hybrid that kept snapping, leaving my lures in the river. I am using 20lb braid. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 20, 2008 Super User Posted May 20, 2008 Trilene XT Big Game P-Line CXX Those are good lines for fishing rocks. Quote
Dawson Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 In my experience, any of these will do great in the rip rap and logs.. PLine CXX, YoZuri Hybrid, Trilene XT, Suffix Elite. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted May 21, 2008 Super User Posted May 21, 2008 I fish big game(green) and nothing else for my mono. A 900yd spool from academy cost 6.99. Quote
