I just don’t wanna be ripping the hooks out. I know people will try to use a stretchier line to prevent that when they don’t have a cranking rod. He said it worked fine for him so I’m not going to. All good ?

Did you have to use a really stretchy line? Do you think I can get away with just using fluorocarbon?

I have two fuego reels and I like em. Thanks for the reply. I figured out what I’m gonna do.

Thanks for the reply. I should’ve researched a little more before I posted. I’ve learned that if you don’t have a cranking rod using mono is best and I just don’t wanna do that. I don’t have a ton of rods so I like using fluorocarbon as I use that for more things than mono. So I think if I really wanna get into throwing than I’ll probably just get a cranking rod.

I’d like to see if anybody that owns this rod has used it for crankbaits. I’d be doing shallow water cranking (around 5 feet of water) I have this rod and would like to throw Strike King KVD 1.5s on it but not sure if it would work well (like if I would just be ripping the trebles right out of their mouths) Any input is appreciated!

Thank you very much. It is absolute okay, that is the reason why I started a topic to find answers because all I could find was answers to people trying to save their line. I use my line on baitcasting reels until I don’t have enough to make cast so I like to put the least amount of backing possible. I am just worried that I didn’t put enough on my reel.

1/2 the spool? I think you might have read my question wrong as I am not trying to save line. I just simply want to put the least amount of backing that I can without the braid slipping. I don’t think I need to fill 1/2 my spool. I have heard 30 feet is enough. Does this sound correct?

I have searched this up but was only able to find people trying to calculate how much backing to mainline. I’d like to spool as much braid on my spool as possible and am wondering how much mono backing is needed to prevent slipping. Is just one layer enough?

I got a spool of sniper too to spool on my finesse jig rod and the 15# abrazx to spool on my rod for big t rigs

maybe you just got a bad spool? What weight t rigs and jigs were you using with 12lb test?

Oh okay

Me too! So I’m assuming you like Florocarbon for other purposes? Have you tried seagaur abrazx, how do ya like it?

Hello everybody! I’d like to hear your opinions on Seagaur Abrazx as a mainline for jigs/t rigs.

Hello again, I’m gonna be using dobyns rods which usually run a little bit more moderate fast action even though they are labeled fast and I will be using them for jigs so as a personal preference I’d like to not have a super stretchy line (which is why I was gonna get braid) so I read up on it and picked some seagaur abrazx. So I wanted to ask if y’all have any experience with this line and if it’s been good for you?

Thank you for all the tips. I think I might just spool them up with fluro, like I have been doing, that way I won’t have to worry about dig ins and drag. I will keep the 30lb braid on my Topwater rod and just keep the loose drag and use my thumb to stop the spool like you said.
