guitarkid Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I fish mostly from the bank, and was wondering should I go back to 10 or stick with 12? I was thinking 12 because I can get into some thicker stuff than 10lb as there is a lot of brush around the ponds I fish. -gk Quote
ChazfromVA Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 i would stick with the 12 if i was you.. i reccomend IZORLINE XXX.. very castable yet very durable as well.. also is very affordable Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 8, 2009 Super User Posted April 8, 2009 Either will do. I go with 6 or 8 on spinning reels and 10 or 12 for baitcasters on ponds. The more finesse the better. Quote
BassCats Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 If you are fishing around trees the 12 lb test is the lightest I would go Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted April 9, 2009 Super User Posted April 9, 2009 X 2...although I spooled up with yo zuri hybrid this time around to see how it performs. I also use izorline on my spinning reels.. i would stick with the 12 if i was you.. i reccomend IZORLINE XXX.. very castable yet very durable as well.. also is very affordable Quote
Stingray23 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I use 8lb Invizix flouro. for my spinning reels for lighter finesse type baits, and 12lb-15lb P-Line CXX for t-rigged worming, and heavier baits. Quote
Super User Catt Posted April 9, 2009 Super User Posted April 9, 2009 I use 15# Berkeley Big Game Mean Green Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted April 9, 2009 Super User Posted April 9, 2009 Why not a braid? You can get a braid that is much stronger with the same casting ability as mono. It might save you a few baits and fish. If visiblility is a factor, use a floro leader of equal strength. Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I use 15# Berkeley Big Game Mean Green That makes two of us, Catt. Quote
Ineedanewscreenname20170204 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I tried braid for a while and kind of liked it. The sensitivity is awesome but I struggled with the hooksets. I was used to mono and it's easy to break hooks (or rods I suppose) if you aren't careful. I've heard people say that braid is too visible and maybe that's true but I caught a bunch of bass on it. Now I use Yozuri hybris 12# and I do like that a lot. But braid is definitely more sensitive... Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted April 9, 2009 Super User Posted April 9, 2009 10-12lb CXX, or 12lb CX Premium or Flouro-clear Quote
Super User FishTank Posted April 10, 2009 Super User Posted April 10, 2009 12lb would be my choice. I personally like 12lb Trilene Professional Flourocarbon for worm fishing. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 11, 2009 Super User Posted April 11, 2009 I fish 10# or 15# braid with a 20# leader in extremely heavy weeded canals on a med spinning rod, this set up is beefy enough to pull thru weeds and drag them up the canal side, anything over 7# or so you just gotta down the side of the canal to grab them.
