Looking for a line recommendation to use with bladed vibrating jigs (i.e. chatterbaits ) ... I'm thinking something in the #12 lb. to #17 lb. range in either a co-poly or FC would be best - what line are you currently using for bladed vibrating jigs and what do you like about the line best ? Thanks in advance !

Generally, 30# braid.  Felt like I missed too many with other lines.  I've found no downside and I have greater confidence in hooksets.

Generally 14-16lb Sniper FC, or 40lb Suffix 832 with a FC leader in the aforementioned ratings. 

12# Yo-Zuri for all moving baits. 

I tried flouro but just didn't see the need for it, especially top of the line stuff (Any Sunline product or worse yet Tatsu)

Its strong, workable, diameter is in line with any flouro and holds a knot as good as any.

 

And yes it's cheap, but that is not a concern to me when it comes to fishing line.

I like 17lb fluoro 99% of the time.  

30-40 lb braid with a floro or copoly leader (12#).

15# flouro for me normally. 

14-17lb FC or throw it with straight braid if fishing stained water. 

I use 30lb with 12 fluoro leader on a mh, moderate/fast rod.

I use whatever brand of 17 lb mono is on sale at Walmart.  I think that the abrasion resistance of the 17 lb mono is worth the slightly lessened casting distance.

Another vote for 12 lb Yo-Zuri.

Thanks for the useful replies ... Anyone tried Gamma Polyflex co-poly line in say #12 lb. to #17 lb. sizes ?

I like the 14 to 17lb range too, depending on water clarity and cover. Mono, copolymer,  or fluoro...again depending on water clarity and cover. My usual brand is P-Line.

ChrisD46- I'm in the the 30-40lb braid with a 15-20lb fluoro camp secured with an Alberto knot. I believe it's more cost effective for me to replace the leader over the course of the year.

Thats what I use also. I agree 100% 

12 pound CXX

or 15 pound CX premium.

pline.

16lb FC Sniper

12 and 15# sniper

30-lb braid

I'm using for my spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, Gliss 40lb Monotex.  40lb Gliss is @ .010 in diameter. 

30lb braid with a 12lb CXX leader.

 

That's strong enough where I can straighten out the hook when I get it stick in wood.

All good replies - I have a reel with #30 lb. braid as a mainline and a spools of #12 lb. CXX and #12 lb. FC InvizX which I will try with 5 ft. leaders .... Same would probably work for lipless traps , swim jigs and spinner baits as well .

I prefer 12lbs copolymer line...

I use straight 30 lb braid. 

15 fluorocarbon is on my main reel that I have dedicated for bladed baits and spinnerbaits

 

But I will not hesitate to use my setup with 40 lb braid with a leader.
