Morelures Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I throw a 1/8 ounce shaky head on a stx baitcaster 7'0 M action rod and I always used izorline. My order for izorline will not be here in time for the weekend...What is another 8lb test that someone has used often and has had good success with? Thanks! Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted February 14, 2011 Super User Posted February 14, 2011 Fluoro, Copoly, Braid? What do you prefer for shakies? Quote
WanderLust Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Yo-Zuri Ultrasoft if you can find it before the weekend. Otherwise 100% Flouro or AbrasX is normally available everywhere. Quote
breezy Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I've been using InvizX on spinning reels for a while but recently started putting it on casting reels also (previously used BPS fluoro and other misc brands). IMO it's one of the limpest and most easily manageable FC lines. It's also reasonably priced. From reviews I've read and personal experience the InvizX has a lot more 'stretch' than a regular FC. It works great for cranks but it's not 'too stretchy' to use for shaky heads, plastics etc. I put some new 10lb InvizX on my BPS Carbonlite on a 7' M/F that I use to fish light cranks, shaky heads, light plastics etc and couldn't be happier. If you prefer a line with more "stiffness" to it on a BC may want to look into AbrazX. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to use it near as much but had no complaints the 2-3x I did. Quote
DTack Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I personally think P-line Halo is very manageable. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 14, 2011 Super User Posted February 14, 2011 6 lb. Invisx. Quote
I.rar Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 6 or 8# cxx. ive used 10# on BCs with no issues. 6 or 8# should be great. Quote
.Paxamus. Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 8lb BPS XPS fluoro or Trilene 100% are my choices- resonable prices and have had good luck with them Quote
Hot Rod Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 In order of preference for shakey heads I like: InvisX Pline FC Trilene 100% Quote
Nick Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Silver Thread flouro and Cabela's flouro rank up there with the best. Quote
KWM Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 In order of preference for shakey heads I like:InvisX Pline FC Trilene 100% I use Trilene 100% on everything. Quote
lightsout Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 15/4 powerpro braid w/a stren flouro leader or #6 CXX moss green. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 6 lb. Invisx. X2 x3 - While "stretchy" to some, that is actually what I like about it. Quote
Incheon Basser Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 6 lb. Invisx. X2 x3 - While "stretchy" to some, that is actually what I like about it. then why not just use mono? Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted February 20, 2011 Super User Posted February 20, 2011 After using Invisx, and abrasx, I found them to be very weak in the resistant to breaking category, lost 3 very nice fish due to 6lb invisx, and 10 & 12 lb abrasx breaking. I went back to 8lb Yozuri ultrasoft, and haven't had any problems with abrasion resistance. Quote
