deermaster Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 if you were going to have a rig for only t-rigged plastics, using around fallen trees and grass beds, what kind of line and lb test would you use? Quote
dmac14 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 20# or 30# Suffix Braid. Light enough to let the worm move freely yet strong enough for some heavy cover. Quote
Super User Raul Posted June 2, 2009 Super User Posted June 2, 2009 if you were going to have a rig for only t-rigged plastics, using around fallen trees and grass beds, what kind of line and lb test would you use? The same line I pretty much use for everything and for the past 2 decades: Trilene Big Game, 12 lbs test for that case. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 Trilene 100% Flourocarbon 15 lb. test OR PLine CXX 12 lb. test clear or fluorescent Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I always have a T-Rig ready to go tied with 20lb BPS XPS fluoroarbon! Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 PLine CXX 12 lb. test clear or fluorescent X2 P-line is pretty much my line of choice. 12 lb cxx is small enough for good casting but will straighten light wire hooks. For t-rigs I would also suggest 12lb cx or flouro-clear. Quote
Use ONLY Stren Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 30# Stren Sonic Braid maybe with a flouro leader depending on clarity. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 My dedicated rig for weighted soft plastics is spooled with #15 Yo-Zuri Hybrid. My jig rig is, too. All other baitcasters are strung with #12 Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft. For spinning tackle I use both #4 and #6. 8-) Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 65# braid or 12# P-Line CXX. Depends on the substrate. I'll sometimes run a leader with braid, but usually that's because the "other" reel isn't in the boat. Quote
Super User flechero Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 My dedicated t-tig rod has #14 or #17 XT on it (95% of the time) depending on the lake. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 Since your question involves fallen timber and grass beds, a minimum of 30# braid or 20# mono ( nylon or fluorocarbon ) would be my suggestion. A lesser pound test rated CXX is OK too since it is way underrated for it's actual breaking strength. Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 3, 2009 Super User Posted June 3, 2009 Berkley Big Game 15# Mean Green Quote
Super User Tin Posted June 4, 2009 Super User Posted June 4, 2009 I don't think only one is possible. Some days you will be able to catch fish off the edges, thats when I would go with 15 pound Trilene 100%. Some days they will be in the thick nasty stuff and you will need 50 pound Power Pro. Quote
Willzx225 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 For all purpose casting to the cover I would go with 15# Trilene 100% Fluro. Hand to hand combat, flipping in the junk- 20# big game or 50-65 lb braid. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted June 5, 2009 Super User Posted June 5, 2009 I typically use lighter jigs (Booyah Baby Boo) and I prefer to throw them on 10 or 12lb 100% Berkley fluoro. Quote
