Arv Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I like braid to a leader. The leader changes depending on the conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User ww2farmer Posted June 16, 2015 Super User Share Posted June 16, 2015 I like braid to a leader. The leader changes depending on the conditions. Same. For me on casting gear it's 20 or 30lb braid with 12,15,or 17lb fluoro leader. On spinning gear it's 10 or 20lb braid with 8,10 or 12lb fluoro leaders.

Super User FishTank Posted June 16, 2015 Super User Share Posted June 16, 2015 Personal choice, non of the line options you gave.... I like 12lb FC with a 4/0 EWG hook. If it is weightless, I like the way FC sinks. It seems to be just the right speed on the fall. Both braid and mono float. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt2671 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 i just spooled up some shooter 20lb ( usually run braid) verdicts still out on this vs the trusty old braid , at this point i think both have there positives and negatives. the biggest plus to the fluoro i noticed for a bottom contact like senko is the lack of bow in the slack line it's great for feel not having that. coming off braid though i'm not quite used of the stretch yet and shooter is supposed to be low in that department i can't imagine fluoro that has high stretch must feel like straight up rubber band.

Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'd take you spinning combo or the rod with 12# mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatrix Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It would wither be 6# copoly or mobo or 20# braid depending on the rod or what spool I am using. I would go with the 6# over the braid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User FryDog62 Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Share Posted June 17, 2015 I use Senkos for wacky rigging - with 10 pound Sufix 832 in Ghost color so I can see the line above the surface, and 8 lb fluoro leader about 4 feet long so the fish can't see it. Couldn't be happier with that set up - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User the reel ess Posted June 17, 2015 Super User Share Posted June 17, 2015 17# Fireline (since I bought it Berkley replaced 17# with 20# at the same dia). No leader. I'm almost convinced using leaders around here is a complete waste of $$$ and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibobpeb Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I use 8 lbs fluorocarbon on my spinning setups and 12-15 lbs diameter equivalent mono/fluoro/braid on my baitcasting setups. I keep it simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelboed Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 So as you can see...it doesn't seem to matter what line you use for Senko fishing. Everyone here uses everything there is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone here uses everything there is. I mostly use 6" Senkos with heavy action rods with 20- (7-6" rod) or 25-pound (7-10" rod) flouro. I pitch bushes where you normally would use a jig. Or in the holes in the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However when fishing weightless plastics I prefer and do better personally with strait floro in 12#. The added slack line sensitivity and density of the line allows for better feel and fall rate. Your rod with 20# may be a bit stiff on the line size. I would try that or the spinning rod to start with. *For casting , I would think #12 lb. straight FC on a M/F casting rod 7:1 reel would be in the ballpark for weightless and wacky jig head Senkos ?

EWREX Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 weightless t-rig, wacky, neko on spinning gear - 15lb braid to a long 8 pound fluoro leader t-rig with a 1/16-3/8oz. pegged weight on casting gear - 12-17lb. fluoro or copoly depending on cover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbirdsley Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 10 lbs Berkley 100% flouro. It maybe heavier than what most people use but, I fish it a lot around cover. When using the right hooks I like to give them a good crack on the hook set. Land 98% of fish that hit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User DINK WHISPERER Posted March 12, 2022 Super User Share Posted March 12, 2022 The lowest I ever go is 15lb fluoro. But most of the time I'm using 17lb. I fish mine in and around cover so I can't go any lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 7' MH with 65# braid, a 6'9" MH with 20# floro, a 7' M-MH with 12# mono, and a M spinning reel with 20# braid. Which one do you think I should use? I’m using NRX 852s Stradic 2500 with 20 lb Smackdown and 8 lb Gold Label leader and works really well in limited cover. In cover an NRX 893c and 30lb Smackdown and 15lb Abrazx leader works great for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
