Line On A Baitcaster

[Alex Phillips]

I am looking for a good line to put on my baitcaster. I have only used braid. I've never used mono or flourcarbon on a baitcaster but it seems to be when I'm flipping and pitching the line always seems to stick to the spool and it doesn't slide off the reel nicley. What is a good mono line that has barely any memory or any flourocarbon that is good.

I have no idea when this was posted, but I use Spider Wire XXX Super Mono, which you can usually find at Walmart. I have used it for years and it is good stuff. For flouro I use Pline 100% Flouro. Smoochies

I like p-line cxx in 12 and 15 ib test. It seems to work for pretty much everything. It is not the best when it comes to memory but it certainly makes up for it when it comes to abrasian resistance and strength. In flouro, I have used seagaur invisx and trilene 100 percent in 12 and 20 ib test and did not have any problems with either of them.

for flipping and pitching i'll recommend Seaguar AbrazX in 20#

If you feel like your line is "sticky" and doesn't flow off the reel, then you're probably better off just getting some KVD Line & Lure conditioner instead of changing out your line. If you really want to switch to fluoro, Trilene is pretty solid, affordable, and readily available.

Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon

[NCLifetimer]

pick up some 15,17 or 20 pound trilene 100%(NOT vanish, their is a difference). Seaguar also has good reviews on their flouro. Trilene is probably the one you'll find in stores thou.

Trilene 100% Fluorocarbon

Vanish has such a terrible reputation, Berkley just named the next generation 100% Trilene.

"You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time."

Don't add more volume to your trash can.

Seguar AbrazX is a great fluorocarbon line at a reasonable price. However, I think you will find

Yo-Zuri Hybrid to be your best option.

If it is the braid that isn't flowing off of the spool smoothly you may be using too small of a diameter. This can cause the braid to dig into itself on the spool on a hookset or snag.

I use 17# Vicious furocarbon (tough stuff!!!) for flipping and Seaguar Red Label for more manageable applications,never had any issues with either.Vicious can be found @ Walmart now.
