_jeffe_33 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I hate cxx so much. Gone almost completely to 20 or 25lb assassin or 20lb big game. Just be gentile with flouro, I threw a 250 all last year on 25 assassin 0 issue. Also you can get a chin weight from TW for 250's to get them down deeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesMoran Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Just my own personal 2¢, without having read through the rest of the opinions, but I won’t be using CXX any longer... I finally managed to buy my first pack of Citizen 6” off the site, and 11 cast in on 17lb CXX I cast off. It failed almost 20ft from the knot, no backlash occurred, and I couldn’t find any abrasions in the 20 or so feet after the snap point. I’ll only be casting fluro to braid or straight braid from now on. I was using lighter 12lb CX on shakey heads with great experience. Really like dragging a shakey head on the bottom, and pulling the light tight and giving a few pops at the tip when I’m fishing slow slow, really made it easy to feel when a fish picked it up. Was most recently throwing flukes on 10lb CX, but when feeling the line stretch working the bait, it started worrying me again. So I just switched that rod to 12lb Invizx. Still don’t know if I’ll run a straight fluro setup on my big softbaits, but I’m thinking not. Did pickup 25lb Abrazx though in case I make that decision.
