Best line for soft plastics and jigs?

Featured Replies

What are your guy's favorite line for fishing soft plastics and jigs? Also what pound test do you guys prefer?

Fishing soft plastics I use a PLINE CX 12# (in clear to mostly clear water) weighted or weightless. Though my favorite is wacky unweighted or weighted T-Rig. For jigs or plastics in moderate to heavy slop I like Berkley fireline braid in 50 - 65#.

I use seaguar abrazx 12-25 lb. test depending on the cover Im fishing. It has a very thin diameter, their 12 lb. has the same diameter as most 8 lb. lines.

For soft plastics I really like Yo-Zuri Hybrid in 12lbs test and for jigs in very little vegetation I like BPS fluorocarbon in 14lbs test and in heavy cover I like the Fireline Braid in 50lbs test.

Later, :)

    I like 12 lb. Vicious flourocarbon for both soft plastics and jigs.

P-Line CXX for most applications, some sort of p-line all baitcasting, yo-zuri hybrid on spinning.

Spinning tackle: Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft #6 (.010" diameter, 11.9 lb breaking strength).

Baitcasting gear: Hybrid or Ultra Soft #12 (.013" diameter, 19.5 lb breaking strength).

Hey roadwarrior do you have that saved somewhere so you can just copy and paste it :) For plastics I use 12 lb fluoro and for jigs its either 20 lb fluoro or 50 lb braid.

Yes, but I always have a rig or two spooled up with something different

to try. I'm currently experimenting with braid on my main jig rod and

deep crankbait rig. I have recently used both Vicious and P-Line CX

Premium. So, I'm not a total stick-in-the-mud, but I haven't found a

line I prefer to Hybrid.

12 Lb. Berkley Trilene 100% or Sunline Fluorocarbon.

Ok i gotcha. Please let us know how the braid experiment on your deep crankin rig goes. Now that I think about it, braid would be good for deep cranks

I crank soft plastics back to the boat with 12lb Trilene XL.

With jigs in heavy cover I use PowerPro 30lb. I have a seperate rod and reel setup with braid for any bottom fishing.

Trilene or Stren 100% flourocarbon 15 lb. test

Soft plastic---30# braid or 14#-20# fluorocarbon

Jigs-----------50# braid

Well now, seems ridiculous to me, but different strokes for different folks.

Plastics - 10# or 12# Trilene 100% or P-Line Halo Fluorocarbon

Jigs - 50# Sufix Performance or Fireline Tracer Braid with or without 15# fluorocarbon leader (leader brand doesn't really matter to me, but I've been using Vicious Fluorocarbon)

Plastics 12lb seaguar red. Jigs I would go with fifty pound power pro, or any spectra braid. 50# fireline is about 10# mono equivalent.
