Hi guys, which fluorocarbon fishing line could you recommend for trout (up to 2lb)?

 

I use the G. Loomis IMX 9000-2S HSR (7' 6", Line Weight 6 - 12, Lure Weight 1/4 - 1/2, Power Mag-Light, Action Ex-Fast) with spinners, spoons, crankbaits.

 

I'm looking for a line with very good reach. 

 

Thanks 

I can't recommend a fluorocarbon main line as I don't use it. All my crappie rods are set up with 2# test Fireline Crystal with a 4' fluorocarbon leader of 4# test. This combination works extremely well for on my 3 #6920 Pflueger President spinning reels. I've caught some pretty big fish on these combination rigs, including bass, northern pike and many, many trout. The rods I use are all B n' M.

I'm a big fan of Gliss for trout, I just use a leader of mono for a shock leader. It cast a mile with small lures normally used for trout.

 

I will be trying some Seaguar Finesse Flouro for them this week though, straight flouro. It's worked well for casting grubs for bass, I have high hopes for how it will perform for trout. 

I've never used fluoro for trout but have always had good luck with plain old 4-6lb trilene mono. Especially if the trout are only up to 2lbs, I don't think you need anything special. I've never had one break off with light mono and I fish spinners, spoons, and small crankbaits mainly. 

I used my dropshot rod for trout a bunch in Washington state for the last three years.  P-line 100% and sniper in 6lb test worked great.  I also used Berkeley xl in 6lb and that was good to.

THANK YOU GUYS 

 

@Bluebasser86 How long is your shock leader? 

 

Do you mean this fishing line?

Usually 3-4', about half the length of the rod.

Yes that's it.

4# InvisX.

I have three rods for trout and all of the have vanish 2 or 4 lb test. This has worked really well for me. 

4lb test Invizx

I have that same rod in a one piece. Great smallie & walleye rod. I would try some 6 lb Tatsu or the new Seguar finesse fluoro.

@Bluebasser86 How was your experience with the Seaguar Finesse Fluoro for trout? Did you use a spinning reel?

@.ghoti. & @J Francho Is the Seaguar InvizX also a great line on a spinning reel?

 

 

THANKS

I really liked it. Cast great and held up great. I fished it on a 25 size Pflueger Supreme XT casting a 1/6oz Little Cleo. Caught dozens of trout and bass with it and it performed excellent. I was using the 5.2lb test. 

I only use 4lb Invizx on a spinning reel. I have some 5.3lb Seaguar finesse Fluoro reserved for an upcoming trout trip.

I use 6 and 8# on 2500 size spinning reels.
