Super User BASSclary Posted July 25, 2010 Super User Posted July 25, 2010 Hello forum members, I come in peace with a question to ask your expertly expertiseness. I need some suggestions for some line to use on my rod and reel. I will be using this for Jigs and soft plastics. I prefer flourocarbon so please stick with FC lines. My rod is a Falcon Bucoo 7' H/F (more like a MH/F) With a Carbonlite reel RH 6.4:1. What would you spool it up with? I dont but line often so i wanna get a quality spool, preferably around 17#. Thanx! 8-) Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted July 25, 2010 Super User Posted July 25, 2010 I have been using 12lb XPS this year and like it better than any other FC I've tried. Quote
adclem Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I have been using XPS in 17lbs and it is pretty darn good., especially when its on sale. I also like Seaguar InvizX a lot as well. Later, Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted July 26, 2010 Super User Posted July 26, 2010 XPS 14 lb has been very good to me. Seaguar Abrazx in 12lb has also worked out nicely. Quote
BigGame0892 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 17 lb. XPS fluoro is very good stuff for the price. I pitch/flip light to medium cover with it all the time. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted July 26, 2010 Super User Posted July 26, 2010 For baitscasting, I use 14#, 17#, and 20# XPS with the 20# being the most frequently used size. Quote
endless Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I have been using 12lb XPS this year and like it better than any other FC I've tried. X2 but I only tried a selective few. Quote
flipinstick88 Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Can't beat 15lb Segaur Red Lable for the price. Quote
SJB1226 Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 12lb sunline shooter flourocarbon I agree with the Sunline Shooter but in 15 or 17. this is the best FC period... It doesnt get any better and the stuff is as sensitive as braid (Well pretty close to braid.) its has a low Dia. its super limp, knots tie well with it.. handles abrasion very well. you will love it! its not cheap but when you want the best then use Sunline Shooter or Sniper... Megabass Dragon Call is great to, handles abrasion a little better but is a little stiffer still a awesome handling line tho! Quote
NateFollmer Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 If you want good cheap line, get xps, spiderwire or berkley trilene. I found 12 lb. trilene at wally world on clearance for 5 bucks. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted August 2, 2010 Author Super User Posted August 2, 2010 Well, i ended up getting a 200 yd spool of 15# InvisX on sale for $12. Thanks for all the input guys! Quote
Big Bass Chaser Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Well, i ended up getting a 200 yd spool of 15# InvisX on sale for $12. Thanks for all the input guys! WHERE? I like InvisX but it's generally 21-24 dollars around me. I use the 15# a lot (3 rods). Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted August 2, 2010 Author Super User Posted August 2, 2010 At a local Dick's sporting goods. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 2, 2010 Super User Posted August 2, 2010 I like the InvisX. Haven't tried the AbrazX so cannot say which is best. Dicks regular price for the InvisX is 17 something. BPS runs a couple of dollars more. You can buy InvisX in bulk spools, making it even cheaper per hundred yards. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted August 3, 2010 Author Super User Posted August 3, 2010 Berkley Vanish 14# I hope that's sarcasm, lol. We dont take to kindly to Vanish round these parts, LOL ;D Quote
bt fisherman Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 i would stick with 12-17 lb it seems to work th best for me Quote
northern basser Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I've been running 12# invisX on my crankbait rod(chr. 50mg/ kistler mag. ts med. mf) this year and I don't have any complaints. Casts very well IMO. Quote
Vinny Chase Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I have been using 12lb XPS this year and like it better than any other FC I've tried. Who makes XPS? Quote
OneUp Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I have been using 12lb XPS this year and like it better than any other FC I've tried. Who makes XPS? I believe it's rebranded Toray... Quote
