Bassaholic84 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 So this year im having a set up just for cranks i got a david fritz cranking reel and rod and was wondering what type of line you all prefer for crank bait? Quote
Super User burleytog Posted January 12, 2009 Super User Posted January 12, 2009 PLine CXX 8 lb. moss green Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted January 12, 2009 Super User Posted January 12, 2009 Trilene big game 8(hard to find)10, 12 pound test GREEN Quote
cbfishalot Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 All depends on the cranks, cover, and depth your look to get to. 10lb co-poly is a great place to start. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted January 12, 2009 Super User Posted January 12, 2009 P-Line CXX 6lb. and Yozuri Hybrid 6 lb. - Smaller cranks, shallow divers Trilene 100% Fluoro 10 lb. - Larger cranks, deep divers Quote
jagdbdg Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 10# Yo-Zuri Ultra soft shallow 12# Yo Zuri Ultra Soft medium to deep Quote
Super User Micro Posted January 12, 2009 Super User Posted January 12, 2009 10# Yo-Zuri Ultra soft shallow12# Yo Zuri Ultra Soft medium to deep Agreed. Except I don't use Ultra Soft. Regular Hybrid does just find for me. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 12, 2009 Super User Posted January 12, 2009 Trilene big game 8(hard to find) Didn't even know this line existed, I have never seen it in stores. Went to Berkley's web site and saw it there, I am going to have to get some. Quote
The_Natural Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I used mainly 12lb Trilene 100% this year because I had it to spare (several bulk spools). I'm not sure I could recommend fluoro over my clear cxx for cranking if I were buying filler spools. You have to decide whether you want a little more depth, or a little more abrasion resistance.

What lb CXX are you using? I use Trilene 100% 12 lb as well, but have a special place in my heart for CXX. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 12, 2009 Super User Posted January 12, 2009 Not sure what The_Natural is using, but I use 8# and 10#. Quote
BARON49_Northern NY Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I have used Pline 12 lb FluoroClear for years with crankbaits of all sizes and it has worked great for me. Quote
Stasher1 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Sufix Elite in 8# and 12#, and 30# PowerPro in and over the heavier vegetation. Quote
BassBandit35 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 12# either Sufix Elite and/or Seaguar InvizX. Gonna try new AbrazX. I'm too scare to throw deep divers on 10# Don't see how most people do it. Quote

The Trilene 100% is great, and definitely has the most abrasion resistance of any fluoro I've tried, but CXX is....CXX . Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 12, 2009 Super User Posted January 12, 2009 Well, if you have #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft spooled up on all your baitcasters like you're suppose to, you don't need to change a thing. : Quote

I need to respool my crankin reel and was wondering about the pound, I just hate loosing a crank bait. I normally use a deeper crank than the depth I am in, so I might try the 10 lb CXX Quote
BassBandit35 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 O please, tried your advise on Yo Zuri Ultra Soft on my spinning outfit 2 years ag with Lucky Craft pointer. Stripped it off immediately. Worse line ever. Then took other advise of yours to try Fat Ika, worse gimmick I've played with. Ain't listen to "fishing God" no more. ;D Quote
BassBandit35 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Not seeing CXX on BPS, Cabelas, nor *** you guys talking about. Do they exist anymore? Quote
