fishinguypat Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 i'm spooling my line soon for salm0n/trout and maybe pike /carp ..sooo i was wondering should i spool it with my trilene tough 8lb or trilene XL 14lb? i have always said 8 or over is good but i really want a better chance at salmon/trout this year ...what do you think? fishinguypat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoda Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Depends on the set up your using ....presentation is EVERYTHING if your float fishing ..so i recommend 8 # and reduce from there with a leader .... if your set up is for downrigging ....i run 20 pound but if your talking chucking lures in the river ...straight 8 pound ( you dont want to lose too many lures) Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck666 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) actually i have caught 20+ pounders on 12lbs berkley big game monofilament line! not the smartest thing to do but all i did was cast out into the rapids with a spoon i dont really recommend that. good luck!
