Line preference for Deep Cranking

[BassBandit35]

What line do you prefer for deep cranking?

I define deep as 10-15+

[BluFleck]

I use 12# Mean Green, unless ultra clear water then 12# Seguar InvisX

[roadwarrior]

You can make it complicated or keep it simple. I prefer simple:

Spinning tackle: #6 Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft (.010" diameter, 11.9 lb test)

Baitcasting gear: #12 Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft (.013" diameter, 19.5 lb test)

8-)

Does no one use floro?  I've got a Winch on the way that I was thinking about using 10 lb floro on...

Interesting. On other board, one of 27 members like fluoro and one for braid while the rest of them prefer mono.

Chris I currently use fluoro for deep cranking but, thinking about switching back to mono due to several reason. Constant backlashes with fluoro only with deep crank outfit. Rarely do I get birdnest when casting spinnerbait or worms with fluoro except deep diver that gives me a fit. I don't know if switching to mono will solve the problem for me. Moneywise, yes it would.

You need some KVD!

[BassBandit35]

No difference. Have used it, same result. KVD stated that he had the same problem with fluoro that fluff up on him so I know it not just me

[J Francho]

The issue might be the reel.  What reel is it?  I have no issues with FC on either of my TD-X reels.  One of them I run "wide open" as in no brakes, with 20# line for pitching.

Fluoro sinks quickly mono with a specific gravity of only slightly over 1.0 sinks much much slower. Want to get deeper use fluoro. I don't crank deep all that much but I use fluoro on jigs and soft plastics with no more backlash issues than mono
