Red Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 What are your thoughts on using 20lb fluoro for squarebills and spinnerbaits around wood cover? I have been using braid with no issues however that is my only set up still using braid. Just wondering if I should make the switch or buy another spool of braid? Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 20lb FC sounds like a reasonable choice in heavier cover. I don't see the braid being a particular advantage (or disadvantage) in that application. I have braid on a majority of my rigs currently. Primarily to simplify and limit the number of rods I carry. But I'm re-thinking some of that for next year. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 20lb floro would do the job just fine. I throw 15lb for squarebills and spinnerbaits without any breakage problems and it is in some pretty thick Louisiana junk. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 8, 2011 Super User Posted November 8, 2011 OK, I don't really like braid for cranks at all, but if it's not broke, why fix it? Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted November 8, 2011 Super User Posted November 8, 2011 Good choice. I would opt for 15-17 # though if its an option. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 8, 2011 Global Moderator Posted November 8, 2011 I use 15-20 pound mono around heavy cover for moving baits with no problems, if it works for you then go with it. Quote
Red Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 The main reason is cuz I am out of braid but have 660 yxs of fluoro!!! Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Cliff, I do all my spinnerbait and square bill work with 15 and 20 Yo Zuri Hybrid. I have not had a break off yet. I wouldn't flinch a bit at using your fouro and I know you fish some serious timber and wood. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 9, 2011 Super User Posted November 9, 2011 The main reason is cuz I am out of braid but have 660 yxs of fluoro!!! LOL, then use the fluoro - it will be fine. Quote
