Best line for pitchin

Featured Replies

I love pitchin, I live near lake erie (long point bay) and lake st. claire where there is a ton of cane grass or whatever you call it. I have 20# yellow XBraid sinking on my JWR and yellow 30 Powerpro on my pitchin stick and they work great. On my flpr IMX loomis I run 50# PP and I dont really like it. I'm planning moving over to a 22 Bantam HG/MB Swamp survivor and wondering whether or not I should go to something like super slick?? I pitch almost exclusively, sometimes i'll flip when im deep into the grass but almost never.

What do use and why.

I switched from original Power Pro to Seaguar’s Smackdown for the conditions you described.

It’s one of thinnest 8 carrier braids sold and pitches or casts smooth and silent.

I think you are talking about reeds. For that kind of vegetation I prefer fluorocabon ( 20 or 25 pound test). I get more precision with it because of less dig in. Most of the time the water around reeds is clear so the fluoro helps there to. I mostly fish the Sait-Lawrence so I think the water is similar.

What is it exactly that you don't like about the 50 pound Power Pro ?

50 or 60 lb FX2, straight.

I am experimenting with 30 lb Sufix 832 to leader.
