booneangler Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Trying to find a line to throw small shad raps and small jerk baits and even smaller cranks. Would this P Line CXX be alright i have used it but only in 4lb test. Looking to use it in 8lb test on a spinning outfit. Anyone have any opinions on this? Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 27, 2009 Super User Posted February 27, 2009 I 've fished 6, 8, 12 lbs test CXX, for what you want it 8 lbs is more than enough, it 's still hair thin like & manageable while being ridiculously strong. Quote
mattm Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Awesome stuff. Just like anything else it has it's disadvantages. CXX seems to have a little more memory than other brands of the same size, but the abrasion resistance and toughness is more than worth it imo. A little KVD line and lure conditioner the night before and at the end of each day fishing does wonders for the memory. Quote
Big Tom Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 The stuff is crazy strong. I have really struggled to break 8 lb. test after getting hung up. Quote
booneangler Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 thanks for the info guys i went picked up a spool of the 8bl a few minutes ago and a spool of triline 100% floro. Gonna give it a try on Football jigs. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted February 27, 2009 Super User Posted February 27, 2009 The Wal-Mart here was eliminating their P-Line inventory last month and had 8,10,15lb spools for $5. I bought some 8 and 10 lb spools and the 10 lb straightened an arkie jig hook I had without breaking Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 28, 2009 Super User Posted February 28, 2009 With 12 lbs I uprooted and lifted a stump, the line didn 't even cough. Quote
Big Tom Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I broke a heavy wire Jig hook with 17 lb. CXX. I couldn't break it with my arms so I wrapped it around my body and just started doing circles. I felt something give and that something happened to be the hook. It was a 1/2 oz. Booyah Jig if I remember correctly. Quote
