How does line effect backlashes?

Featured Replies

In this thread http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1180665109, Burley basically calls me crazy for saying that Vanish is more prone to backlashes than a limper line.  Does anyone else find that fluoro is more trouble than mono?  Or am I just crazy?  I think I know the answer, but I'd like to see everyone else's thoughts on it.

IME line that coils backlashes worse wether its trilene XT or big game... limper line dont backlash as much then again it depends on the weight of the lure >line that comes off the spool curly backlashes worse then .BTW talkin about line i have been using power pro in 6 lb test size on my baitcasters with great results no dig in, less backlashes i find im using it more then my biggame and Maxx  and the 4 lb stuff works really good on my spinning reels only thing is its hard as ever to get the line through the loop to tie it ..OOOOOOOOOO  and when u put crazy glue on ur knot becareful cause  it sticks really fast to plastic worms and such and leaves ur hands a mess 8-)

I didn't call you crazy. Sorry you thought so. :-?

All I said was that in my experience, I haven't found line to be a factor in backlashes.

That said, I haven't found flouro to be that much stiffer than mono.

You are right Ceph, I have my Alphas Itö spooled with 12 lb Big Game, I have my Alphas Type F spooled with 12 lb CXX, if I do something stoopid ( like lifting the thumb too much ) while the spool is rotating with the Type F, wohoo !, haven 't reached the point of backlash but it was very close. Both lines are 12 lbs, both have almost the same diamter, but CXX ( copoly ) is stiffer than Big Game ( nylon ). CXX is not fluoro but it 's coated with fluoro.

Sorry.  I guess I could have worded that a little more tactfully.

line is a major factor in backlashes.braid backlashes the least followed by limp mono.flouro used to be the worst but seguar invizx is changing that.the worst casting line i have ever used was the old formula vanish followed by cajun red lightning mono.the best casting mono i ever used is cajun red cast.
