1 - 20 of 29 Posts
I use 30# Power Pro and 15# Vanish floro leader on both casting and spinning
I use 30# PP and 20# fluro on my leaders.
20lb InvisiBraid and a 20lb leader.

Moving all reels to 30lb Fins in the very near future. Not a PP fan. A lot of people love it. It's too coarse for my taste. I have been experimenting and have found Fins to be more flexible, better casting distance, and less expensive when bought in bulk.
20 or 30lb PP and a 20lb Seagar fluro.

On a related topic, do any of you find the color of PP to matter? I usually fish green but just picked up 300 yards of red because it was on sale for $20. I would suppose if you were tying 24" of fluro to the end, it shouldn't matter, correct?
20lb suffix 832 braid and 20lb triline mono leader. I do keep some berkely vanish flouro (20 lb I think) but I rarely use it. 9 times out of 10 I don't think the water in MS or LA is clean enough to matter.

Exact same here.

Don't see why it would matter. I fish a leader almost as long as my rod though.
Only thing is With some of these braids mentioned. IMO they feel kinda waxy like dental floss and I HATE that about them. I may give fins a go though. Never seen it before.
15 lb power pro, and 15 pound p-line flouroclear...its a copolymer, mono coated with fluorocarbon.
I thought about trying that nanofill stuff or the power pro slick8
20# Power Pro with a 15 pound Seaguar INVIZ X fluro leader.
30lb Power Pro Super slick and 30lb Ohero FLouro.
30lb Spiderwire invisi braid. I use 20,30, or 40 lb Berkley big game mono for leader depending on what i am fishing for and where I am doing bit. I only use flouro in the winter and spring when the water is gin clear.
I use p line floroclear 15# on my topwater rod without a leader, 30# power pro and 40# floro leader on my 4000 Penn for bull reds, 14# nanofil with 15# mono leader on my live bait/light lure reel, 20# super slick power pro and 15# mono leader on lure (mirrodine/yozuri) rod, and 30# power pro with 15# mono leader on my jig head rod. I bring alot of rods because I hate retieing when a situation changes. Im a huge fan of p line floroclear and the nanofil is starting to grow on me. Super slick power pro is wayyyyyy better than regular power pro. The to my line especially braid is I spray reel magic on the line when I get done.
I have both Super Slick and Suffix 832 on my reels and can't tell them apart. They are both very good braids, much rounder and smoother than standard Power Pro.

I'm a big fan of Fins. I picked all mine up from Dicks, but I dont think they carry it any more.

I mostly have 20# braid and 20# fluro leader.
