Looking for updated information on what non - braid line you are OR will use this season for flippin / pitching applications for moderate to medium cover using beaver , craw soft plastics  or brush / arky jig & trailer combo in clear to stained water ? ... I'm currently trying to decide between P-Line CXX X-tra Strong in 15lb ~ 20lb or Seaguar Invizx in 20lb ~ 25lb as a non - braid flippin / pitching go to line ... Your thoughts ?

I like a #17 Fluorocarbon with a #12, #14 or better mono equivalent diameter.  I'm torn between Berkley 100% and BPS XPS Fluro.  Sunline Sniper seems great but I just bought some this year to try out.  I've heard that a lot of the Japanese fluros are rated at break strength as opposed to significantly under per American market lines, meaning that a #20+ Japanese line might be more in line with a #17 north American market product.

Yo-Zuri Hybrd 20# then cxx-strong 20 or 25

While I simply don't rely on florocarbon lines seaguar makes a good one.. Tryed red label didn't care for it. However, it's ok in soft cover situations

25lb AbrazX is perfect for any clear water flipping and pitching

16lb sunline sniper for light applications or clear water. 25ln shooter for the heaviest stuff

sufix tritanium - learned about it from guys in sofla who fished for snook around bridges - this stuff is tough and extemely abrasion resistant and cheap for a quality mono

20lb Sunline Super Fluorocarbon for most of my flipping. I avoid braid almost to a fault when flipping, just don't like fishing the stuff when I'm flipping. 

Gonna try 15# Cabelas X50 by Seaguar for light cover flipping this year

20# tatsu-jigs

15# tatsu-texas rigs

16# sniper-swim jigs

Pitch and flip all 3 of these on a daily basis. I avoid braid like the plague for anything non slop.

20# Seaguar AbrazX is what I used last season.  Loved it!

I appreciate the replies !! Glad to see there are those of you who enjoy fluorocarbon in that 15lb to 25lb range for flippin / pitching . Yes , I only have sporadic weed lines , grass , occasional brush and chunk rock to contend with in the reservoir lakes I fish .

20-25# CXX or 20# P-Line 100% fluorocarbon. 20# Halo would also work just fine.  

Braid gets the nod most of the time, but I also use 17lb. Original Stren. It's easier for me to see and has excellent abrasion resistance.

Suffix Elite hi vis yellow mono, but a fluoro leader. In real thick stuff 20 pound P - Line 100% fluoro.

15-20LB Tatsu. Super strong, super sensitive. Awesome stuff.

17-25lb Big Game or XT.  That's as big as is needed around here.  Our trophy bass are 5-6lbs.
