Relining rods, what to use?

Featured Replies

I got 12 rods I am planning on relining and not sure what I need to try and use. I mostly use mono and braid but looking into some fluorocarbon.. I want to line each rod for specific lures so what would yall suggest for different lures, worms, finese,topwater,frog,crankbait, etc. Thanks for any help. 

I found this chart and the guy that did it did a great job with it. Again, it is not mine, I am an amateur so I need all the help I can get...lol. Hope this helps you out.

I fish braid on all of them.  Mostly 30lb, but some have 20 and 40.  I adjust each for what I'm doing with leaders of either FC or Mono.  So it costs me in braid, but I only have to buy one spool of each 6-17lb in FC and a couple spools of 10, 12, 20lb mono.  Easier to replace 6ft of mono or FC then to respool 75-100yrds and a lot less in the pocket book.  Just my opinion though.

Worms- 15# mono or copolymer 

finesse- 8# fluoro or 15# braid with a fluoro leader.

frog -50 or 65# braid

top water- 30# braid

Plastics- I prefer copoly in 15#

Frog- 50# braid

Topwater- I assume you mean walking style bait, probably a 17# mono

Crankbait- 12# copoly 

 

-Payton

Bottom contact- 15# copoly

Cranks- 12# copoly

Topwater - 15# copoly

Finesse- 8-12# copoly

Moving/reaction lures- 15# copoly

Frogs- 65# braid

Punching mats- 65#braid
