okumasheffield Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) I was completely surprised to see my friend uses Mono for all his baitcasting reels and wonder what type of line I should use for mine & reasons why each of you uses different lines Thanks BTW, I thought braided line stays on the spool as oppose to mono?

BFSC Kevin Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Depends on the application. But I use braided for all my baitcasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmilley Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 depends on application, use mono on crankbait rods, use braid for everything else with a flouro leader when tossing worms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 flouro on the crankbait/xrap rod braid for frog, pitching jigs 25 mono for worm in heavy mats and I like mono still on my spinnerbait, buzz bait rods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I run braid on everything... Even crankbait rods... I helps for feel as well as depth... Only rods I put mono on are one of my musky trolling rods for trolling long lines in shallow water and my perch and bullhead rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umKthxbye Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I use braid on everything then tie a fluoro leader on. Better sensitivity with the no stretch and I don't feel like it will break off nearly as often as mono did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have a light action combo that I use mono on. . Mostly toss spinner baits and smaller crankbaits with it but all the other heavier action combo's have braid on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 For most of my bait casters it's braid. I do use mono on a couple that I use for river fishing trout and char though. The mono holds up better around rocks. Braid tends to fray too easily and mono has more stretch which lessens the probability of pulling the lure away from the fish. Generally I'm bouncing heavy spoons along the bottom with this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 30# pp for most applications 50# pp for frogin/pitchin/flippin in clear water I just tie on a 8' - 12' 8# fluoro leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
