Braid, Old School Nylon Mono, Coplymer, Fluoro, Or Other With Treble Hooked Baits

[J Francho]

I have my preferences, but what about your? You can choose more than one!

For you leader guys, check off what you use as mainline.

I'm running 10# mono but I'll be trying a co-poly in the same strength and slightly lower diameter. The goal is to maximize diving depth.

C'mon guys, keep the votes coming - they're private, so don't be shy!

For most treble hooks I am using Yo-Zuri Hybrid, but for jerkbaits, monofilament. Specifically Sunline SuperNatural #12.

Braid---top water

Mono----jerk baits

Fluoro---crankbaits

[Bluebasser86]

Mono, copoly, or flouro. Mono for most topwaters, some jerks and cranks. copoly for the same things at times. Flouro for deep running cranks or jerks.

[Goose52]

Copoly (YZ) for me. Not necessarily because it's optimum for all treble hook presentations...but because it's the best balance of performance vs. cost for me. In a cost-no-object world, it would be mono for topwater and high in the water column...and flouro for diving.

[BASSclary]

I prefer braid for lipless cranks, because im almost always ripping them from weeds in the VA area.

I prefer Yo-Zuri Hybrid for lipped cranks, you can get away with a very low diameter for its strength, and its sensitivity is good.

I prefer a good mono for jerkbaits, Sufix Elite .

And I wont even get into what I like for topwater, because there will be a mass outrage like last time.

[ww2farmer]

Braid for everything.....fluoro leaders if I see a need for one.

[SDoolittle]

Nylon monofilament for topwater and jerkbaits.

Fluorocarbon for crankbaits.

I do use braid (rarely) and copolymer, but not for treble hooked lures.

[bassinbrian]

Topwater = Braid

Crankbaits = Fluoro

Jerkbaits = Fluoro or Braid (prefer braid)

[NCLifetimer]

subsurface=flouro for me

topwater=mono or braid

[SirSnookalot]

Braid for everything.

[0119]

Mono for everything on a baitcaster.

Braid for everything on a spinner.

[J Francho]

Lots of votes, let's see some more!

[LgMouthGambler]

I used to be braid for everything, but now Im on a YoZuri binge.

[K_Mac]

I use copolymer (CXX) for everything. Works for me.

[ROCbass]

I voted for nylon mono, because it's what I use most often with treble hook lures, although sometimes I will use braid or braid with a fluoro leader. Last year was my first using fluoro as a leader, and I've never used fluoro as a mainline for anything, although I'm considering trying it this year.

[Dwight Hottle]

Braid for everything with a Maxima mono leader when needed.

[baluga]

Braid for all with treble hooks lures and FC leader when needed.

[.ghoti.]

An easy answer for me. Mono. I use Trilene XL for everything.
