P-line and Izorline

[Bantam1]

I have been fishing Ixzorline XXX since it came out. Since then everyone here in the office has switched over to it for saltwater use. I have fished it all over the country and cannot complain. I flip with it, fish saltwater with it and anything imagineable. It simply does not break easily and it has almost no memory. I think its the best Copolymer line on the market.

P-Line is strong but its also thicker than normal line in the same line class. You can fish 8 instead of 10 for example. The memory sucks for sure...

I just wish they made XXX in green like P-Line and Maxima  :'(

I'll bite, but the specs are not on their website.

Which weight do you recommend for spinning

tackle and which do you suggest for baitcasting?

I used P-LINE for a long time but switched to IZORLINE about two years ago and really like it. Use the xxx it is limper than the Platnuim.

I use 10lb test for my texas/rig, 15lb for spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.

Flechero,

Bantom1 pretty much nailed what I was going to say.

Its been a long time since I used anything but PLine CXXX, and this line is definetly on par with it, doesnt kink as much and a lot more managable for me.

Roadwarrior,

Thats a great price on the filler spools, but if your looking for more yards per spool, here is where I get mine from. 1/4lbs spools are the same price as the filler spools at Delo's. http://www.acidrod.com/line.html

I'm intrigued by this line and would like to try it for sure.  Only hesitation I have is similar to RW.  No specs for line on the Izorline website.  I plan to order a couple spools from acidrod.com and try it out.  It's so much cheaper than the Berkley Fluoro Professional I've been using.

Specifically

#6 Yo-Zuri Hybrid .010" diameter, 11.9 lb test

#12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid .013" diameter, 19.5 lb test

Which Izorline size/weight/number closely matches

these parameters? One for spinning tackle, one for

baitcasting gear.

[Bantam1]

I crank, topwater and spinnerbait with 10-12 mostly (sometimes 15) and I flip/pitch and T-Rig with 15-20. I use 25 for my bigger swimbaits. I only used 4 and 6 pound for my spinning reels. I pretty much only use this line on my baitcast reels now because I have switched to FC for light line now.

What specs do you need? The bulk spools I have in my desk do not have diameter listed on the label. I know that the 12# I checked broke at 21 pounds So its plenty strong for the diameter. I would guess that they are average for the line class so .012" for 12# for example.

I use 12-40 for my saltwater stuff. I can pull calico bass out of thick kelp with 15#. Thats a tough task on light line and this stuff works for that task

RW,

I just pulled out my micrometer, its my old back up for work and is fairly accurate, but not nearly as accurate as my one I have at work.

#10 - 0.012

#12 - 0.0135

#20 - 0.0175

My #15 is in the boat, if you need that, I can go dig it out.

[roadwarrior]

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Keith, I've been using the Izor XXX since the Classic last year. They ran a great special on it at the expo, three spools of 300 yards for about $12. It's under rated so 12 pound is really like 14 and so on. It's pretty small diameter for it's rating and I like the smoke color. It's not to bad about stretch and is low memory unless it's been on the spool a long time. A trilene knot will slip in this stuff so better use a palomar or uni instead. I had been using Gama and CX but like this stuff better by a bunch. On the CXX, that's some tuff stuff for sure. About all it's good for, IMO, is flipping bigger biats that will work out the memory rather quickly. Other than that, it's llike Kent said, slinky.

Great info guys, exactly what I wanted to know!  So now, thanks to you guys...  I'll be placing my 2nd *** order of the day...  just need to add a few things to make $50 for free shipping.  ...lol

It's becoming an expensive day.

I have experience with the Gamma Copoly so that's all I can comment on ....

It's on every reel I own except for my braid set ups.  It's my personal choice for best "all around" line.  To me it's meets the fine line between the managibility/toughness.

I would say it is very similar to YZ Hybrid maybe being a tad tougher and it doesn't have the "kink" factor that RW mentioned.

I almost always buy bulk spools but not when trying out new stuff.  Once I try it out and make a decision, then the bulk spools get ordered.  I ordered a couple Izorline and P-Line 300yd spools to try out on next week's trip.

+1 for McCoys Mean Green. I have tried P-line everything, horrible memory. Mean Green is cheap, available in  bulk spools (try TW) and is in 10, 12, 15, 17, and 20. I fish all of them and if I hang up the 20 on a carolina rig, I need help to break it. Just my experience... I'm trying some Suffix right now (free with reel purchase) and I'll share some thoughts once i get it wet.

[fatmanslim247]

not to thread jack but what is the difference between a copolymer and a straight flouro?  Does the copolymer have the invisibility of flouro or what?  Something I have been wondering for awhile

Ive tried every single pline made, and the only one I like is Halo. Its pricey for sure, but it is quite amazing. I can leave it on my spinning setup for months, has no slinky type memory, and is super strong. Doesnt start breaking when I tie a knot and tug on it after a couple months like these other lines. I dont want to switch my line that often, couple times a year max. Halo lets me do that, and the mist green is awesome

All 6lb test on spinning setups unless noted:

CX premium. Horrible. Memory was really bad, and it started breaking on me tying palomers after being on the spool maybe a week. Ripped it all off immediately and went back to Halo. Bought a 12 lb spool for my baitcaster but didnt bother putting it on yet since braid is on now.

Flouroclear. Worked well, was quite strong at first but seemed to detiororate quickly. After about a month it was slinky status and broke knots when pulled on after tieing.

Evolution. This is the stuff I put on my girlfriends spinning pole in 8lb test. Its quite a bit thicker then halo but does last a decent while. It starts breaking knots when tugged on after about 2-3 months. I just respooled her the other day to finish the spool off so probably wont buying that again.

I think I remember trying CXX super strong but if I did it didnt make a good impression nor stay on my reel long. If I remember right it turned into a slinky within a few weeks.

I really dont stress my lines that much, I always use ball bearing swivels to prevent twisting no matter what Im throwing. I mainly throw senkos with this rig, its the one in my sig. All sandy bottom where I was fishing too, very little weeds.
