I need some 6# FC for my crappie reel, I figure enough bass guys use 6#. I hate using straight FC on spinning reels, so what in your experience has the least memory? Since P-Line Tactical is BOGO at F&S rn, I'll probably buy that, but I'd like to know what you guys think.

Highly suggest checking out the new Finesse Fluoro from Seaguar. I've been using some 5.2lb on my trout/light bass rod and it's been great. 

no problems with straight 5 and 6# sniper FC on spinning reels. i use kvd line and lure conditioner.

I run 8# power pro braid with no problems on my crappie/panfish rods. I dont fish much ultra clear water either though. 

InvizX or any of the "finesse" specific labeled lines (Seaguar, Toray, etc.)

10 lb Braid with seaguar blue 8 lb

Unless you are fishing a lot of brush and snags, consider going to a braid mainline with a fluorocarbon leader. I fish mainly open water for crappie with little chance of bottom snagging. So, I fish 2# test Fireline Crystal, with a 4# test fluorocarbon leader, about 4' in length.

 

Have been using this combination for many seasons now. Will never go back to regular mono/fluoro lines again. The braid affords me dramatic increases in sensitivity. It also cuts the water well and allows me to control the depth of my retrieve better. The fluoro leader (connected ONLY with the Alberto knot) gives me the abrasion resistance and shock absorption qualities that I need. May not work for everyone, but it works for me.

I've been using the same 6lb Inviz-X leader for about three weeks and have caught a lot of fish and broke off quite a few jig heads and it's still going strong. I normally use 6lb CX, which has always been bullet proof as well.

sniper and p-line 100% are good and about the same.
