Best line for spinning setup?

Featured Replies

I’ve been using 8lb InvisX on my spinning setup and am looking for something different. I do kinda prefer a fluorocarbon type line as the sensitivity is important to me and I feel as I can feel more with fluoro. I know mono is usually recommended for spinning. Any suggestions on good line for spinning? I’m not too big into braid either.

Yo-Zuri hybrid - I have 4# on my Pres-25 and 10# on my Trion...treat it with KVD and it's a well performing line.

I just posted this in another thread actually:

 

10-15lb Power Pro Braid to 4-6lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid offers me the best results with spinning gear at a good price. 

 

10lb PP = 2lb diameter mono equivalent

15lb PP = 4lb diameter mono equivalent

4lb YZH = about 7.5lb breaking strength

6lb YZH = about 11.9lb breaking strength

 

Use the leader if you need abrasion resistance and/or if visibility is an issue. Straight braid otherwise.

 

...

 

And like MNFisher, I also use straight Yo-Zuri as well, but it does - not so much require - but performs very well with KVD L&L (as far as dealing with memory).

 

...

 

Fluoro free household over here. Yuck.

Could I spool the reel with straight braid, with no leader or mono backing? Or is that not a good idea.

Depends on if it's a "braid ready" spool.

Worst case, I use cheap $1 Zebco mono as backing.

Sufix Advance mono. Just as sensitive as flouro and less stretch. Handles way better than flouro.it is thicker so I'd use 6lb if ur using 8. 6 lb is underrated and breaks higher than the test from what I've read.

Rw is having an acid flashback....?

15-20 lb braid with a florocarbon leader
