fishin line size
 

Anyone have thoughts on what is a good all purpose line for specks and reds with poppin corks and jigs on the bottom?

I use 12 lb triline big game mono with a 3ft 15lb florocarbon leader.....I dont use a swivel just tie a uni to uni knot......for my redfishing in the marsh I use straight 65lb power pro braid

12-15 mono..

Depends on what you like,braid or mono. Braid I use 30lb sufix or power pro with a 20lb floro leader. I use mono for topwater only,14lb or 17lb stren original with no leader.

Big game is some strong stuff but I hate the memory it has. Try some stren original you will like it.

each to his own on this for sure......def echo Montauk on straight mono for topwater but I do find I can get better action out of a bait with 12lb mono and a triline knot will allow the bait to "WALK" freely.

I recently made the switc to PowerPro braid and love it (6 lb diameter and 30 lb test I think). Casts a mile and very sensitive. Started using a 12-18"" monofilament leader that I tie to the line and no swivels. Really really like this stuff

Just recently tried some high impact Stren because it was super cheap and I like it a lot.

I have a tough time changing lines......plus i usually respool my reels every other month or so out of habbit......I hate old line.

TB

I hear ya,I used big game for several years. Bought some stren original and never went back. I bought a 1,500 yard spool of it for cheap cheap.

I throw Sufix 12lb Clear for anything. I never use leaders unless I'm soakin live bait. I can cast a Super Spook prob close to 100 yards, no BS. Need to start tying on leaders though, I'm sure gonna cost me a biggun one day but hasn't yet.

I also used to use Big Game but got away from it.

30# power pro with 15# flurocarbon leader. .

20lb PowerPro with 20lb Flourocarbon leader . . . . . .
every poll i have is setup like this

30lb samurai braid. Nothing smoother on the market!

100yds!!??? I gotta see that!! Ill call when it gets colder

Also cost 60 bucks for a spool of 300 yards. :eek: Sufix 832 is just as smooth,want to try the new power pro slick 8.

no leader?

Steel leader,sorry Tim I could not help it. :rotfl:

Not usually. If its a light bite, then yes

Even with topwater? Flourocarbon sinks,I find you have to work your stick harder to get action.
