    Re: What Line do you recommend?

    Ive used Berkley Triline XT for years and never had a problem with it until last year. I dont know if I got some bad line or what , but I was breaking it off every time I gave it a hard hookset. I dont keep my drag set that tight , and it wasnt breaking at the knot. Since then Ive started using P-Line and so far I think its going to be the line Im going to stick with for awhile.

    Re: What Line do you recommend?

    Mostly braids, cost is high for the first fill up, but some of my line has been on some rels for over 3 yrs, I test iot and its still as strong as I want it tobe. Crank baits braid20/6 crappie fishing braid 10/2 jig and pig, 20/6 or 30/8, float and fly 10/2. I do use a lot of mono when crappie fishing with jigs, like any premium 6 lb line. Most of my fishing with braids use flouro leaders of 10 05 15 lb test, like seagar for this.

    I use Excel most of the time. It's priced right, easy to get and performs as well as any line out there. Any line out there can break under the right circumstances and most lines perform as advertised so after i tried most brands i settled on the economical choice, Excel.

    I think for price and all around use Trilene XL. I have landed several of 3-5 pound Smallies in the winter on 6lb test with a good drag.

    Has anyone tried the new P-Line Evolution? I've seen it a few places, but never heard what anyone thought about it. I was mainly wondering how it compares with P-Line Floroclear.

    Silver Thread AN 40 8# test for spinning. Little memory, lays on spool great small Diameter and can't hardly break it when you are hung down.

    Re: What Line do you recommend?

    Hey ArtCarney why did they take Ironsilk off the shelf? I have used it in the past and like it.

    I made the switch to stren and loved it but had a few problems with it this year and will switch to Ironsilk or P-line. I have also heard great stuff about tripplefish but have never used it.

    Re: What Line do you recommend?

    I've been thinking about switching to Vanish Transitions on my light rigs, too, and I've been wondering, do you need to change it as often as you do mono?

    BTW I've been getting Ironsilk at Fisherman's Factory Outlet http://www.ffo-tackle.com/
    I love that site. Kinda like the Big Lots of online tackle shops; they don't have everything, but what they do have is real cheap!

    Re: What Line do you recommend?

    Might as well throw in my 2 cents. I have to echo some of the other posts. I almost exclusively use Bass Pro's Excel---cheap,strong,low memory, but I change often. For Braid, I use Power Pro only!!!
