Line - what your using and for what?
« on: April 09, 2007, 07:46:39 PM »
Braid and mono. Curious what you guys are using and in what applications. Braid color and brand. Mono color and brand.
   Personally I use all power pro for braid - yellow 50lb on 2 trolling outfits I drag stretches on.
    Green PP on my tog setups.
    Ande clear mono for livelining bunker.
    1 fluke setup w/Ande, another with green PP.
    Weakfish noodlerod with 10 lb fireline black.
    50lb Jinkai on my partyboat tuna setup.

   Love the visability of the yellow PP. Especially since its easy to pick out in a tangle on a headboat, but always think about the visibilty factor to  the fish.

   Looked at the red PP recently, anyone using it and for what?  In theory it should disappear in the water.....in theory!  ;D

Hi bustedknuckle,

50 lb. Power Pro on just about everything. If I need mono, I use Izorline or Momoi.

Tight lines,

Capt. Ed

Ande #20 Pink for surf, boat, Stripers and Blues. Floro leader from #15-#25. But now with so many people now using braid or superlines, that stuff cuts through mono like a razor blade. I've had fish on out on the beach, or on open party boats, or out with freinds,  and have lost fish due to other peoples line cutting mine.(PEOPLE WITHOUT FISH ) I'm thinking about trying it myself.  <'((((><
I've spent most of my life fishing, the rest I've just wasted     <'((((><
