Thread: Fishing line

Thank you guys so much for the help I hope some of y'all will be at pier on June 9 thru 13 I'd like to meet some of y'all again thanks for the help again

What brand of line does everyone use and recommend or would suggest on pier

I'm a fan of Power Pro with a good, long topshot of Momoi mono.

I have used Trilene Big Game for DIY spooling a while with no complaints, but Momoi or whatever they recommend when J & M does it.

Just be forewarned that momoi diamond has memory and sucks even worse in cold weather.

If you get momoi, get the regular version.

If you go with a fluorocarbon, get Vicious--really nice.

As for braids, power pro spectra does great, and super slick 8 is smoother--but doesn't last as long.

Nanofil is amazing strong but will not tie to other braids or itself and can only be connected to thicker mono/fluorocarbon.

So, VG, have you done any good with florocarbon on spinning reels? Everything I've tried seemed too stiff for spinning tackle. Anyone else, feel free to chime in too.

I have used Vanish for several years and have not had a problem . I use 12 # for Spanish and 8 or 10 # for flounder ,whiting ,pomps ,etc.

Rich, only one I like is vicious, and I've tried a good dozen brands or better. Their website has different styles to choose from.

It conditions well with Kevin van Dam spray.

I've tried vanish as suggested above, and while I love the color concepts in bright sun, it is one of the most finicky fluorocarbon I've ever used. Typically snapping in simple casts due to becoming brittle after a days use in the heat of the sun.

However, Yozuri makes a hybrid version that is even better than vicious and really soft.

I highly suggest trying it also.

Yozuri hybrid is my favorite line when it comes to light weight spinning non braided setups.

+1 on the yozuri hybrid. I have a big spool in 4#. I'll give the vicious a try in the 8# range.
