Question on Florocarbon line

Featured Replies

So i been thinking about switching to a florocarbon line for cranking next year. Just wondering if i did switch from using Triline Big Game in 10 lb test how would it benefit me to switch? And what brands are good. Was thinking about trying P Line do they make a good florocarbon line?

According to Ike, he suggests mono for treble hook baits.

I have been having a lot of success with 20-pound Stren on a Curardo E5 reel.

But you can have any set up you like.

There is an article on a post in the forum about lines and the writer likes flouro for trebel hook baits.

Sorry, but I wil l continue to follow Ike's advice.

If you add a Lucky Craft Ghost Minnow or Sexy Shad crankbait to the 20-pound floruo and a 5:1:1 reel you may have some good success.

Just read what the guys suggest and make up your own mind.

Good luck.  :)

Some pros like Mono....Some like Fluoro.  KVD cranks with the XPS fluoro.  I have cranked with Pline CXX in the past; I just haven't felt the need for the extra 2ft that fluoro will gain me.  However; this year I have cranked quite extensively with Trilene fluoro, but will probably go back to CXX and leave fluoro for my jig/worm/c-rig rods.  If I was getting it free....I'd have the trilene fluoro on ever rod  ;):)

well my biggest concern is abrasion i guess im afraid of loosing cranks do to it hitting rocks. i check my line frequently but still afraid of it braking.

Just know this....fluorocarbon is Less manageable than mono.

I use fluorocarbon for jigs and T-rig baits.That's about it.

I use the XPS Fluorocarbon and it is more abrasion resistant and any nylon mono or co-polymer line I have used.
