Was wondering if anyone out there likes using P-Line Floroclear on their casting reel, and what pound strength and what reel do you use it on? Anyone prefer using 12, 15 or 20lb Floroclear?

I have used 10lb on an Abu Revo & SLX MGL, and it seems pretty good at 10lb, but I'm curious what thoughts are on 12-20lb.

I have a couple casting reels that I want to put some stronger line on since all of mine right now just have 10 or 12 of different brands, and debating on trying 12-20 for dedicated rods.

I'll run 12 to 14lb sunline sniper for cranking... 20 lb sunline shooter for bottom contact on my baitcasters...

I tried 10# on a crankbait rod. Removed the line after my first outing with it. Maybe I got a bad spool. It broke way too easy.

Not a lot of love for Floroclear here a Bass Resource. I have used 8, 10, and 12# on bait casters for several years with no issues. I have used 12# on my jig rod for several years without issue. I have straightened a hook with 10#. If you shop by line diameter it is pretty much like all Japanese lines, breaks at basically the advertised pound test. Sunline and Seagar are slightly thinner per pound rating. As well as P Lines C-21 co-polymer.

I like Tackle Tours reviews on reels and line. Their reviews have not let me down yet.

I had a not so great experience with 15 and it makes excellent backing now.

I used it in 15lb for T-rigs in cover for 2 years and loved it. 3rd year I had 2 separate spools from different suppliers that would fail on EVERY hookset without exception. Same rod, reel, and knot as previous 2 years, but suddenly 100% knot failure on hookset. This was something like 20 years ago but they lost me. I don't know if they changed something in the line or had a bad run but I do know changing line (stren then eventually sunline) made the problem go away. Since people are still using it all this time later I assume my experience was was an anomaly, but 2 bad spools out of 6 and 3 ruined fishing trips is not something I can forgive.

@Lead Head , that was what happened to me. Prior to that one spool I liked it.

Did you know that Pline CXX is also fluorocarbon coated? CXX advertises a 'tough coating' that is indeed fluorocarbon. I used fluorclear some 20 years ago, but moved to CXX for less stretch and more abrasion resistance.

There is no pound test of Floroclear I would put on my casting reels

I use P-line Fluroclear on all my setups. 6 and 8 spinning. 10/12/15 on bait casters. Not a fan of Flurocarbon. I buy 600 yard spools.

I think you mean CX, which is a good line unlike Fluroclear.

CX and CXX.
