Max Lb Line For Fluorocarbon For Bc Worm/jig Set Up??

Featured Replies

Just bought me a set up for worm/jigs. Thinking of using fluorocarbon line, what should be the max lb?

Also, letting me know what kind you use would be helpful?

Thanks!

I use up to 20 but will go to 25 if it's really nasty cover. I use Sunline Super mostly. 15 is about my favorite size for worms.

12 lb Yo-Zuri here.

Worms 12 is more than good. 20 is good on a heavy jig

12 to 15lbs Seaguar InvizX or AbrazX...

I have 20 lb Tatsu on my heavy jig rod.  It handles fine.  I like 12-16 for general worm and light jig fishing.

Depends on cover. I have up to #30 if needed. Typical is 15 thou, up & down in test, depending..

Best Bass guy on Youtube uses 17lb viscious.  Bamabass, awesome videos!

Depends on the cover.  My go to is 10lb P-line 100% Fluorocarbon for open water to moderate weed cover.  15lb for 10" worms and wood.

Does the yo zuri hydrid line stretch more than fluorocarbon?

 

Depends on the brand.  Some brands and even certain models within that brand are stretchier than others.  A good example is Sunline Shooter that is near 0 stretch yet the more popular Sunline Sniper has more.  Seaugar Invisx is really stretchy wheras the Tatsu has less.

I use up to 20 but will go to 25 if it's really nasty cover. I use Sunline Super mostly. 15 is about my favorite size for worms.

not to be off topic but how do you like the Super? The reviews are iffy.

12-15#. Handling suffers the higher up you go. I have yet to be broken off by a bass on 12# line that wasnt my fault.

Wouldn't fish it if I didn't like it. Although I've recently began experimenting with Sunline Defier Armilo and have been thoroughly impressed thus far. Quite a bit more expensive, but wow is it nice to fish with.

Super is my favorite budget friendly fluoro, it's a good line.

It depends on the rod rating. I've used any thing from 6# to 30# for plastic worms. I like Tatsu as s general fluoro. If that's too pricey, Invisx is a close second.

... yup ... me 2.

15lb Tatsu... its my favorite line. I use it on the majority of my bc rigs besides jerkbait, topwater.

Super is my favorite budget friendly fluoro, it's a good line.

there's a lot of discussion between Super and Red Label. Gonna try super this year and see for myself.
