Fishing line suggestions...

[Ryninger]

It's time to restring my crappie/blue gill pole... Always just bought/used what ever 4lb line was on sale..... Anybody have any preferences or input?

Just make sure its new stock. The light line seems to break a lot easier when its old.

I prefer Trilene XL but any name brand, as long as it is new, should be fine.

i agree, any of the big name, on sale monos are good. i got caught up in the braids and super lines and found them not worth the $$

I bought some Spiderwire Super Mono XXX yesterday for $8 at Walmart. Compared to the $4/$5 line, the Spiderwire XXX had a smaller diameter for the same lb test.

Can't wait to try it out.

P-Line, Fluorocarbon.

 

[rimfire_crazed]

for P-Line Flourocarbon or Flouro-clear. Usually buy it in the huge spools and do all my setups at the beginning of the season and once more in the fall.

The crappies and gills I catch aren't all that smart....they bite whether it's $8 or $4 a spool...they just like it new

Always had great luck with suffix. I use the mono and flourocarbon. Decent prices and no memory.

Clear mono 4lb that's on sale.

I like Sufix. It seems to be pretty tough and doesn't curl like a lot of other lines do after being on the reel for a little while.

 

[jjlaughner]

Spiderwire ultra cast fluorocarbon - its not the cheapest but like it. I usually run 8lb though...

More important than the brand or price of your line is to be sure you are using a good knot. I highly recomend a palomar knot.

If you lose a fish or lure and the end of the line is curly, the knot failed.

I'm another one for Trilene.....

 

[RelicHound]

when it comes to light line Im not to picky..I've used trilene XL in 4-6# for years and have never had an issue with it..just replace it when need be. your biggest concern should be your knot,when I'm using small jigs I like to tie a modified trilene knot that leaves a loose loop around the eye..itll give the lure more movement and I've never had that knot pulled out. my favorite all around knot is the palomar knot..easy and fast to tie and will hold better than all the other knots out there.

guess I should have read the other replys before I posted..I see Jack Ryan already addressed the knot.
