swimbaitman Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Im pretty new to this and have 65# power pro on my lexa 300, I'm wondering if this is the right choice... i mostly used braid so i could save money and not have to change out line so often. any suggestions on line better than what i have, or is the power pro ok? Thanks egoodnow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Great line. To play, learn how to use a fluoro leader. I use uni to uni knot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmBtc12 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I use straight mono for most of my baits. You chance casting off expensive baits with straight braid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrystowing Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 There is no perfect solution.use what works for you.straight braid has not worked very well for me.i use braid back then i top off the braid with 80 yards on Seaguar line.i very seldom ever see the braid as it just takes up space but when i need more line its there.but to each there own ask 10 people will get 12 answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iay Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 After using Shooter FC Sniper, I am switching all my set ups except topwaters and frogs to it. A bit on the thick side vs true breaking strength but extremely supple and abrasion resistant. I have made couple of casts poorly and the line took the pressure great. Very sensitive and it feels like you have KVD line conditioner constantly applied to it. I am using 20 pound for under 3 oz baits and going to use 25 pound for 3 to 6 oz baits.

t.musky Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't know what the best line is, though I use Maxima UG on my rods. I do know a line I would never use again......P Line Flour. I had it break twice on me on hook sets (20 lbs test) on nice fish. Both times it broke near the rod tip.

Sneezy Beltran Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Though question to answer without knowing what bait you're throwing, size of fish you're after, and conditions you're fishing in....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopdaloop Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I've had good luck with Pline Fluro, Seaguar Invisx, Vicicious Elite Fluro. As for mono, Berkely Big Game is my go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahai808 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 i used 65# Power Pro Braid and have switched to 20# and 25# PLine Original. The only time i liked using it when i was throwing a Rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man CP Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I love braid with certain applications; frogs/flipping, some heavy top water swims. But on big baits, I go mono all the way, my preference is sunline, and now they have a really affordable monofilament, 300yds/$7! I've had zero issues with it, like all my other sunline products, and the 20# & 25# has been great for me with big baits like the 250s. swimbaitman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
