Has any body used defier mono on spinning tackle 12# or 15#

Cadence I dont know

Braid knots up from the semi slack line with the weightless fluke

It wont ride level flukes dont work unless they float perfectly level after the pause

Yea I tried 15 and and it couldnt do it on a 4000

I have to set drag high with the superline gamakatsu hook to be consistent and then hope and pray they domt run at me so fast that I dont have time to twist the drag.. I caught a 23 pound cat on this same set up in 33 foot of water but had alot of line out and had time to adjust drag sometimes I dont have that option Weight I caught the cat on a t rig smaller hook but same line

If it worked in the wind as good as a spin I would love to have the option to thumb the spool .. Yes need a thicker mono.. Cant lower drag anymore with the gamakatsu superline hook its about as thick as a flipping hook

I know how to spool it. And I got something that works good and has been for years. I just want something better.. Need to be able to cast in Heavy cover and open clean water at same time with casting distance ... Spent over 300 in braid fluoro setups and they work more then good at first but the slack line with a weightless fluke they can't handle the all day stress of the semi slack line More of a case of line drags at max were it wont pull on hookset... Always after a full day of fishing and line been soaked When they run to the boat so fast you cant do anything but reel in slack and your drag is a low as you wanna go for the hookset its a problem

16#

Its when they run to the boat with shortline line out catch 5s and under with ease just want a little more if I can get it and yes I know you can cast one on a baitcaster but its not even close to as far as a spin especially in a head wind.. Tried 16# sunline super natural last weekend and it knotted up at first but after it broke in it was descent and same diameter as the 12 big game I'm using... I just need this for Sam Rayburn theres alot of giants there and I fish it in Heavy Cover and open water with great results just need a little more insurance.

4000 spool and a bait caster cant cast as far as a spin on weightless flukes

Has anybody had any luck with putting premium mono larger sizes on spinning reel.. Trying to find a good 15 or 16 that acts like a 12 without jumping off spool.. Braid doesnt work because I'm using soft jerkbait and it knots up.. Tried them all only mono works for this bait just tired of loosing big fish 8+ ..
