Suggestions? Thoughts? Experiences?

Good to know seems to be pretty popular. Thank you for sharing your thoughts would love to hear more views!

I do like the low stretch aspect, will have to give both a try at some point and make a decision, whichever feels right!

I’ve been doing some research and all that and read that CX has way less memory than CXX, whereas of course CXX is more abrasion resistance. Also CX has the clear fluorescent. Does CXX have any big advantages besides being tougher that you know of?

I was thinking about investing into some McCoy’s Premium Co-Polymer in clear blue fluorescent sense I’m a line watcher. Any other good suggestions before I go for this co-poly? I really like co-poly line as I feel I get the best of both worlds of mono and fluoro and found it to be more sensitive than just straight mono. Also heard the P-Line brand is good with co-poly. I know there is no “best” co-poly line just want to hear thoughts and experiences with them. I would be using this on my t rig

What co poly do you use? I’ve heard good things about yo Zuri and sufix advance.

So are you suggesting I try sunline sniper fluoro? And I’ll check out the conditioner.

Heard this was a good co poly with great sensitivity. Will have to try it, if that’s the case I could use it on both my spinning and baitcaster and ditch the elite.

I’m looking for 10-12 lb test. I’ve used Seaguar invisX and the abrasion one there can’t quite recall the name but both of those didn’t end well. That’s why my next would be Tatsu I guess. I’ve been using sufix elite 8lb on my spinning setup without any problems. Even before I switched to sufix never had problems with Big game or any of those besides they knick and kinda break very easily and the sensitivity isn’t quite to what I want in those lines. I heard this was decent but also that the sensitivity wasn’t great for this line.

Hey all, I can’t decide whether to go with fluorocarbon or monofilament for my baitcaster setup. Sensitivity is really important to me, I like to feel everything and be able to set my hook once I feel something. Which leads me more towards fluorocarbon but all of them that I have tried seem to break off or coil very easily. I heard Tatsu was pretty good yet to try it though. Whereas mono I never really had an issue. Any thoughts or suggestions and what do you y’all use? Also never really been a braid guy, not my favorite.

My buddy told me to give this line a try and I wouldn’t switch to any other. I’ve read some good reviews about it but also read it knicks and breaks very easily. Also looking around I can’t seem to find any place to buy it if I did want to try it. Anyone have experience using this, I would like to hear your thoughts.

I throw a lot of senkos and swimbaits. Sometimes jigs with a trailer. But pretty much the main basic stuff. And I mostly fish lakes. I heard good things about braid especially 832, never really been too into it myself though. Maybe will give this a try. Any other suggestions I know there has to be a bunch out there.

I recently created a thread for best line for spinning rod and reel. Many recommended Yo-Zuri Hybrid, I’m gonna give that a try in 8lb. I have two setups a baitcaster and a spinning. Kinda left them both sitting around for a few years sense I stopped fishing for a bit. Tearing all line off and re-spooling each. So now my question is what is the best line for a baitcaster setup? I’m thinking of 10-12lb for my baitcaster.

Could I spool the reel with straight braid, with no leader or mono backing? Or is that not a good idea.

I’ve been using 8lb InvisX on my spinning setup and am looking for something different. I do kinda prefer a fluorocarbon type line as the sensitivity is important to me and I feel as I can feel more with fluoro. I know mono is usually recommended for spinning. Any suggestions on good line for spinning? I’m not too big into braid either.

Hey all, thank you all for the helpful info. I’ve looked into about everything that was said and some combos that caught my eye was Lew’s Mach Combo, Lew’s carbon blue GT and the pflueger president. With all these being really in the same range does one have an edge over the other? Or maybe one I haven’t mentioned that’s also very good?

This is all good info, much appreciated, I’ll take all this into consideration. Any other suggestions?

Hey all, I am currently on a budget right now so I’m looking for the best spinning rod and reel combo for $60-80 which is cheap but I also believe even with the price you can still snag a quality combo. I currently am working with Lew’s American Hero Bait caster combo and I’ve caught my number of fish on it. I am looking to expand my rod and reel collection with different types. Mainly looking for a 1 piece, medium action. Any suggestions for your best cheap rod and reel combo!? Feel free to share your experiences!
