Yet Another Thread On Set Up Suggestions For 2 Baitcasters And 1 Spinner

Featured Replies

Needing advice before going to Bass Pro Friday!

I have:

1-  5.4.1. Pro Qualifier Baitcaster on a 7' Medium Vendetta with 12 pound mono

2-  7.0.1 KVD Quantum Baitcaster on a 7' Medium Vendetta and need line suggestion

3-  Shimano Symetre 2500FL spinning reel and I need suggestions on rod length / strength as well as what line on it to give me a good broad span covered among these 3 set ups...

 

Not really wanting to go with braid, but considering both mono and fluoro

 

Thanks much

Depends on what you're planning on using the spinning reel for.  You could get a ml or m for dropshotting and other finesse techniques, or you could power up and go mh for bigger jigs, spinners and soft plastics t-rigged.  I'm sure that many others will offer advice, but for anyone to give you adequate information we must first know what you plan on using the setup for. I agree with RW on the line choice btw fwiw.

Question I've heard you and some others discuss this line..why do u prefer this line? I bought me a spool of it in #12 and got a new chronarch on the way I'm ready to give it a whirl but I wanna know why it's a good line?

(1) The line's breaking strenght is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than implied:

 

#6 = 11.9 lb, .010" diameter

#12 = 19.5 lb, .0a3" diameter 

 

(2) Green is virtually invisable in gin clear water

Purple Smoke bends best in stained water

 

(3) The line is very manageable, especially when treated with KVD Line & Lure Conditioner

 

(4) Hybrid is cheap and often on sale. I have a 1lb spool of both #6 & #12 that I bought for around $25.

1000 yards is sometimes on sale for $7.99 

Thanks for the reply..
