Muad Dib Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Im getting much more rod specific per technique and situation than i ever thought i would. what kind of line would you use for these applications. 1. Top water- using spooks and other topwaters with trebles 2. shallow cranking- 0-7 feet, crankbaits round wood and rocks 3. medium to deep cranking- 8-20+, would also use this rod for lipless cranks as i have liked this combo. i like to hear all of your opinions so have at it travis- Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 11, 2011 Super User Posted July 11, 2011 10-12 lb test nylon most of the time for most of the lures and techniques. Quote

Bandits and shallow - mid diving baits I throw 10lb-12lb mono...squarebills i throw 15lb when bumping into cover deep cranking I throw 12lb when using deep divers in less than 12ft of water when using deep divers in over I throw 10lb mono Quote
Muad Dib Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 sounds pretty good so far. suprised havent heard more about flouro. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted July 12, 2011 Super User Posted July 12, 2011 Im getting much more rod specific per technique and situation than i ever thought i would. what kind of line would you use for these applications. 1. Top water- using spooks and other topwaters with trebles SilverThread AN40 2. shallow cranking- 0-7 feet, crankbaits round wood and rocks 15lb Tatsu 3. medium to deep cranking- 8-20+, would also use this rod for lipless cranks as i have liked this combo. Deep crank usually 12lb Tatsu. I fish a different rod entirely for my lipless baits. 7-11 MH XF Cumara with 15 or 20 lb Tatsu or Bawo 25. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 12, 2011 Super User Posted July 12, 2011 1. I wont share my answer because the rest of the forum disagree's. But it rhymes with 15 hound Snore-o-carbon. 2. 12-15 lb. Fluoro. I like Seaguar Abrazx because its super abrasion resistant for fishing around cover. 3. 10 lb. Yo-Zuir Hybrid. Castable as mono, but a lot stronger, and plenty sensitive. Quote
St James Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 top-water- braid (for pulling in slop and minimum line stretch) shallow crank- mono ( because of line stretch, you can use fluoro if you use a flimsy glass cranking rod) deeper crank- fluoro ( better sensitivity at deeper depth and less line stretch for deeper hooksets) a good mono will take care of all of these situations but, these lines will perform slightly better for each condition in my opinion.

Punkinseedfyretailz Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 1 30lb power pro. 2 10lb pline flouroclear, 3 15lb pline flouroclear, or trilene flourocarbon Quote
joshholmes Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 topwater- lighter briad (30-50) shallow cranking- fluoro for its abrasion resistance deep cranking- fluoro because it allows the crank to go deeper Quote
purebass-ing Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 For top water and shallow crank (1-3 feet ) --> Mono For Deep cranking ( or actually for any crank that cranks more than 3 feet) --> Fluorocarbon But in general, I think you can't go wrong with braid in either application. Quote
