Home Forums Fishing Freshwater florocarbon?

Bobin, I've only used the copolymer CX, no issues, no wind knots like braid so there is that plus.

6.5-06 what reels/sizes you using? Curious.

Another vote for Sunline

Picked up some 10lb Seaguar last spring and loved it. But by September it was breaking constantly at about 4lb of pressure. Gonna look for some Sunline and try that... or maybe the 15lb P-Line. Lots of moss to deal with.

65: About any line that P-Line makes is good stuff in each category.

Likely my favorite line for fishing around docks and down trees is P-Line copolymer in 17# test. It takes a beating better than the flouros and is not as brittle. Skipping jigs with bait casting gear,a few backlashes are SOP and the copolymer handles the bends better.

I have grown very fond of Maxima Chameleon the last two years as well......tough stuff and 15# does the work of most other 17# lines.

For reels it depends on line sizes and I use the larger reels with the heavier lines. I use the various sizes of Shimano, Daiwa, and some new ones last year are the Okuma (sp?) and Lews.

I have noticed myself going with the smaller reels (I forget but the size of Shimano 101 and 201 LH reels sounds right;can't remember)and lighter lines (12-15# test) with the newer smaller tungsten jigs for deep water structure fishing the last 3-4 years.

Light powerful graphite rods today set hooks well in deep water and do the same job of heavier rods/reels/lines of the past....kinda like bullets and rifles of today.

I do throw some braid with jigs and senko type baits around heavy vegetation;it's unbeatable there due to no stretch but the stuff sucks on rock

Any given day during summer, there will likely be 4-6 rods rigged with jigs of various styles and weights on the deck,depending on what I'm doing . I am pretty anal about what jig I'm throwing,and where.

6.5
I am using Shimano Sahara and Symetre 2500 and 3000 and 10 Lbs test.

Thanks, good gear !
