    RE: Preferred Line for Flipping and Pitching

    I use berkley 20lb Vanish Transition. It has great feel and less strech for better hookups. Just don't tie a palomar knot or the line will break. Just my 2 cents. Justin Hires

    Make sure you WET the knot before tightening it down....That should eliminate the problem.

    I always heard P-line and Berkley Big Game for flipping.

    RE: Preferred Line for Flipping and Pitching

    FWIW, I prefer berkley big game. However, if you are going to use the Berkley Transition or probably any other fluorocarbon based on my experience then you should probably not use a palomar knot but a trilene knot. Be sure not to burn the fluorocarbon when working it down or it will break. Hope this helps.
