Has anyone gotten a chance to use that Samurai braided line by Daiwa? If so, what was the application and what do you think of Daiwa products?
hey, i just got a Pinnacle Solene bait caster from walmart. it was 50 bucks so i figured i should get one.
neways.
i was wondering what brand and type (mono, braided, etc.) of line i should get. i would be fishing for bass in nearby lakes in eau claire. most of the lakes dont have that much weeds in them. also i usually use soft plastic baits like gulp alive. the occasional frog and lure.
Suggestions
i was thinking of ordering a 50lb spool of braided line, is this excessive. i usually fish for bass and catfish, and recently i have seen a few catfish jump out of the water at the local pond who’s heads were at least a foot and a half across. and with 20 LB line i would hate to hook it and have it get off. Also i was wondering which brand of braided line is the best to use at 50lb. Its between “PowerPro Braided Spectra Fiber Micro Filament Line”, “SpiderWire Stealth Braided Fishing Line”, or “Berkley FireLine Braid Fishing Line”
Right now I am using 8lb fluorocarbon, and I am having success, but I really don’t like the feel of it as far as casting and sensitivity. It feels like it stretches out and gets weaker when I’m yanking out a snag, etc. I like the fact that the fish can’t see it though.. I’m thinking about switching to a thin braid or maybe one of those superlines??? What about that fireline crystal stuff, it always catches my eye at the store, but I haven’t tried it.
what is your absolute favorite brand of fishing line that you use?
what poundage do you use?
do you use monofilament, fluorocarbon, or braided line?
what are your favorite fishing knots?
thanks for all answers!!
I’m fishing for largemouth bass I was wondering if 65 lb Sufix braided line was to much and what mono line it was compared to (in thickness)
why do people use high visi braid line for??? i have high visi brain 20 lb line thats yellow and i wonder why does it need to be visible because if the fish can see the line then they wont bite
Ok I have always used mono, never tried flourocarbon, and do not like braid. I was wondering if I should use fluorocarbon instead or stick with mono and what mono is the best to use??? Thanks
I fish at st croix river and almost always get a Huge Carp on my line, the problem is is that the line breaks! I was thinking I could Braid it (kinda like Hair Braiding) and use that, will it work? oh yeah, Im only fishing off a dock so I dont need to cast.
i mostly use mono, because i fish a lot of topwater, but i hear braided line works better for castability, and is better for fishing near cover. if your fishing topwater, what line would you use? and what brand is the best for braided line. and what is florocarbon good for?
