    Tired Of Breaking Fish Off

    I'm going to braid on my spinning reels. For those who use it, what brand and pound test do you like.

    Thanks

    Sufix, Power Pro, or Fireline are all good. The size of the line, I feel depends on the type of fishing your doing. I don't have anything heavier than 17lb on my spinning rods. Most of my spinning rod braid fishing is with smaller jigs and jerkbaits though.

    I use several sizes depending on where or what I'm fishing for. My favorite is 15/4 for all around use, and 10/2 for winter fishing FNF. Stealth is good for the price, watch for wind knots or loops when you close your bail, they can be a pain. Also fish with a looser drag, hook sets are quick, too much pressure will tear out some hooks.Been using braids since they came out, and mostly with spinning tackle.

    10lb Spiderwire Stealth. If the water is crystal clear I use a fluro leader. If not, I tie directly to the braid.

    Re: Tired Of Breaking Fish Off

    I use Tuff Line XP and have no problems. I tried Power Pro and got tired of the wind knots and tangles. Tuff Line is a better line at a better price for me. I have 30 and 40 pound spooled on my catfish/surf rods, 30 on my bass baitcaster and 10-15 on my spinning rods. I usually use a fluoro leader either a foot or two or up to 10-15 feet of mono on my catfish rods. Braid is good stuff. Instead of restringing my rods twice a year like with mono, I leave it on there until there isn't enough left on the reel to fish with.

    I use power pro and p-line. If you get wind nots try a barrel swivel to reduce line twists. I use alot of diawa reels that have the twist buster in it that reduces 90% of my knots. I use this line because of my trust in it, But alot of the braids are just as good as what I use. Hope this could help alittle.
