ODgreen Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I haven't tried it, but is it possible and if so how do I know what test I can use? Quote
VAfishin4me Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 It is very possible and I would highly recommend it. Typically, I will stick with # test that has an equivalent diameter of the # test mono I would normally put on a spinning reel if that makes sense. So, 20 or 25 pound test braid works fine for me. Some guys will tell you to go heavier, but 25 # test is plenty strong for the places I fish. Some brands to try: Fireline braid, PowerPro, Spiderwire, and P-Line Spectrex Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted January 27, 2010 Super User Posted January 27, 2010 Also..Diawa Samuri braid.. Not waxy like some others. Quote
bass or bass ? Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I've used Fireline on spinning reels with great results, especially in cold weather. No coiling line like many mono lines. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted January 27, 2010 Super User Posted January 27, 2010 I use 10-20lb test unless I'm fishing super clear water Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 27, 2010 Super User Posted January 27, 2010 I fish nothing but spinning and use nothing but braid. 10# for lakes and ponds, 15# for canals, need a bit of strength to lift them from a high banks. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 27, 2010 Super User Posted January 27, 2010 The weakest superline I use on spinning gear is the 6# mono diameter. That includes Fireline 14#, Stren Superbraid 20#, and Samurai 30#. The stongest superline I use on spinning gear is the 8# mono diameter and that includes Stren Superbraid 30# and Samural 40#, Fireline Tracer Braid 30#, Spiderwire Ultracast Ultimate Braid 30#, and Stren Sonic 30#.

hitchhiker Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 To me, braided line and spinning reels are the way to go. It doesn't fall off the spool in coils like a stiff fluoro or mono, it resists line twist better, it lasts longer, and you feel everything. I use 10, 15 and 20 with short fluoro leaders (4-6ft). Just remember to close the bail manually and give the line a light tug to get rid of any loose coils. Quote
zero limit Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 been using 30# powerpro on my sahara4000 for quite a while and no issues at all Quote
luv2bass Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 used 30# and 40# power pro with no problems. super line is the best way to go. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 For the last three years I have used 20# PowerPro on a MH spinning rod/reel set-up for Senkos and all soft plastics. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 28, 2010 Super User Posted January 28, 2010 BRAID on a Spinning Reel?? Roger Quote
Pantera61 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Toray 22# test, Varivas 15#, Berkley. Leader or no leader it's the way to fly Quote
NewKidInTown Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I haven't tried it, but is it possible and if so how do I know what test I can use? What size reel is it? Quote
smbrule Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I seldom use anything but braid on my spinning reels. Use ten or fifteen pound test powerpro for bass. Always have a seaguar carbon pro leader material attached as rocks will cut small diameter polyethylene lines quickly. Quote
ODgreen Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 I haven't tried it, but is it possible and if so how do I know what test I can use? What size reel is it? not sure, its a BPS Stampede that can hold up to 12# according to whats on the side of the reel. Quote
