When it comes to braid to mono, it can really change how you manage your lures. If im using jigs with mono-I have to change my tactics etc. What is your contor like, if your flipping on a wooded rocky area, Fluro around 17-20 lbs would be good to go. If your Flippin to a foot of muck and weeds, then I like my braid. I tend to flip with mono in more Open-tinted waters. Then if its really Clear water, im back to Fluro. Im actually looking into this myself - http://www.mccoyfishingline.com/newsite/prod_line_xtreme.html

I dont mind the XL Line at all.

Haha, I keep everything I buy! Unless I truly don't want it. But other than that I did some research and it could be a combo of washer issue with the type of line.

Yeah I really like mono for really light weights for plastics like flukes and weightless worms-tubes etc. and top water, to me it gives more of a smoother FLOW in the water, with braid, it just moves when you move hence no stretch, Which is why I like braid for punching, and heavier applications like big worms t-rigs, jigs, etc. that I do aside from the really light weight stuff. I def do braid with heavier cover. Top water I like mono esp for walking the dog, and poppers since braid can coil up fast and wrap around the treble hooks. Although, I do have suffix siege smoke color on one of my bait casters and its great, I still tend to use rattle traps, carolina rigs, top water, and heavy t-rigs with it. No issues yet, and super strong line.

Thats really weird, I took off the the spool last night, and there was 1 washer on the bottom, and the piece that kind of looks like a "hat" that sits on the thin pole where the spool goes on to. Its my only spinning reel and getting more anyway, but its just weird!

Thanks for the tip Skippy! I heard the P-line looses a lot of jigs etc, so im using it specifically for wacky rigging, weightless stuff, etc. But then again. All about that proper knot.

Yeah I got a bunch of that too, I may end up switching after I actually see how this pans out, if not, suffix braid is going directly onto this reel. I dont think ill use y-hybrid for main lines. may be for leaders though.

Its actually the MODEL # 6940X version of this reel. 8-10-12 lbs test. I had the trilene XL smooth casting 12 lbs on it before and actually spooled better. But you ARE correct with this memory, I actually was about to toss this y-hybrid line out lol. What line would you recommend for stick baits, flukes, etc for this reel? 8-10 lbs test. Thanks buddy.

Well, this is going to be my First post! Question for you fellas, Ive been having issues fitting my President spinning reel. havent really liked it since I got it, casts slap a lot of various rods, It seems to kind of set the line into a tornado shape on the spool. Ive been fishing for over 20 years and never seen a reel fit line like this, ive tried various ways to fit the line without it going into a V shape on the spool. Anyone know why this is? -with and with out the rod i have done it, through a book, and with a buddy of mine, round a tree, changing the positioning of the line-holder. Still no proper fit. hmmm. Im trying to fit 10lbs y-hybrid line on it. 6 ft 6 fenwick medium fast rod. Thanks!

Im originally from Ohio- before Dallas, and now in SoFL in Palm Beach County. LMB bass def doesn't get as big in the north as they do in the south, good ones around 4-6lbs in my region. But let me tell you. This FL humidity kicks I disagree, more than the Texas heat. Record LMB in Ohio is 13 lbs, and was 1976 lol. But this is like Fall weather now here in Sofl - comparable to Late midwest summer which is my favorite. FLA fall is simply what I strive for all year. 40-70s are ideal for me. But this is FLA! One of the best fishing states in the Country. So can't complain. I always seem to shake my head when people are wearing scarfs in 60 degree sunny weather lol. BASS ON folks. Bite seems slow for me too, especially at my work late which I killed it last year, all the vegetation died off after it was treated and full of shoreline bottom green algae which immediately sticks to me lures and line. Now the bass are deeper of the edges of the pond/lake and come more active when its low light. Flukes, Sticks, and Motoroil Trick worm has been working good for me when its in the after noon. When Night fall comes ill switch to some topwater stuff and fish the banks.

Check this guy out near Rodmans area, https://www.facebook.com/trophybass. He's up around Ocala, never tried it but its worth the shot and questioning.
