What's a good 12-17 pound line?

Featured Replies

I use yo-zuri hybrid ultra soft. #12 for casting and #8 for spinning.

As far as braid goes, i have used most of them, and Power Pro is without a doubt my favorite.

Mono- suffix siege

Fluo- seaguar invisx

Braid- power pro

I've been very impressed with the Berkley 100% FC in 17lb for pitching baits, football jigs, big worms, etc.  P-Line CXX is a very tough line that hasn't let me down.  It does have more memory than some other lines out there, but it certainly is tough!

mono-stren original

braid-power pro

flouro- berkley 100% flouro

P-Line CXX, Yo-Zuri Hybrid, BPS XPS FC.

Power Pro braid (don't use braid much anymore),  I only use FC on spinning and I've had real good luck with Cabelas 8# 100% FC.

The line I use for pretty much everything (other than mid-deep cranks) is Triple Fish 15# clear perlon. The only time I've ever broke off with it was on 4-4 1/2 foot gar.  I believe it and the 12# PLine xtra strong are about the same diameter, and if you buy the 3000 yd spool it's about half the price of the PLine.
