Super User eyedabassman Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 I have been fishing the Sufix Braid as my main line and with a fluorocarbon leader. And I have done well,my feel is better,my hook setting is better.And I also use Tru-Tungsten weights. I fish clear water to off green color lakes. Do you think that I may be giving up bites this way and should go all Fluorocarbon ( Main line and leader )? Not sure if the Braid hurts me! Quote
Big Tom Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I don't think that the braid is hurting you at all in this situation. This is my preferred method as well and I really like the added sensitivity that braid offers. Quote
Olebiker Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 You will catch more fish using braid because you will be spending less time picking out backlashes than you would be with fluorocarbon. Can you tell that I am not a big fan of FC? I will use it as leader material, but that is all. Quote

Super User burleytog Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 If you fish rocks, hope you like losing weights. I tried braid when c-rigging last year. After I lost about $20 worth of tungsten in one day, I went back to flouro. Quote

After I lost about $20 worth of tungsten in one day, I went back to flouro. My lakes ain't got no rocks. That is why you ain't catching no bigguns, Burley. Big bass live in grass and wood. And I should know that because I catch them all the time.... Quote

If I fished tough vegetation, I would consider adding braid to the equation, but that doesn't come into play on my usual water. : Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 Is there any real reason for different line type or weight when t-rigging, c-rigging, or even drop shotting? Except for maybe the type of structure? Quote
basspro96 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 ROADWARRIOR! You are missin out on some good carolina rig fishing on the Tennessee. I fish the Chickamauga section of it and good gracious its awsome. I lost a seven pounder on it this summer but I landed aton atleast 200 fish this summer on it. But I would use braid on the main line and fluro leader Quote
cwen Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I use braid for the main line and mono for a leader. The reason i like mono is that it floats better and helps the lure stay over the grass sometimes. This way, you are not rupping your lure out of the grass every cast and stirring thimgs up too badle or ripping your lure. Quote

Super User eyedabassman Posted February 18, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 18, 2009 What size of Braid do you uae on your C-rig? I use Sufix 30 lb., it is thin like, 8 lb. mano.! What pound are you fishing with? Maybe I need to up it a bit. :-? Quote
