Got It!

lunker-lander · 12-10-07, 10:48 PM

Well Guys, as I may have previously posted, I finally got my new Daiwa Tierra for my Finesse Rod. For $114.95, plus tax, mind you, I purchased the Daiwa Tierra Spinning 1500 reel. I plan to put about 6 or 8 pound test on it. I am mainly using this rod/reel for skipping Senkos under dock, Drop-Shotting, Finesse Jigging, and Small Topwater Poppers like the Zell-Pop.

Do you fellas have any ideas on line? I don't really want fluoro., cost too much, and for what I'm using it for, you don't really need sensitivity.

Choices?

I'd go with a Copolymer. P-Line fluoroclear or P-Line CX (or CXX). All three are more reasonably priced than fluoro. These will give you sensitivity without spending $$$ for fluoro or comprimising low line visibility with Braid.

Have you ever tried anything like the CXX? I think it was Reb that said it wasn't too bad. I might shoot him a PM and ask him again.

LL -you know better than to ask about line on this board!! Are you trying to start a fight?

By the way congrats on a great reel.

LL, I'd go with P-Line Floroclear. It is mono with a fluoro coating, which makes it tough but extremely limp so it handles well. I have 2 spinning rods and a bunch of baitcasters spooled with it.

lunker-lander · 12-11-07, 11:07 PM

Thanks Guys! I think I am going to go with a co-polymer. It's somewhat medianly priced, sensitive, yet flexible and limp. I may try the Fluoroclear or the P-Line CXX Premium. I like the P-Line brand. Yet, GAMMA still sits in the back of my mind...

I love all P-Lines products except CXX. Possibly it was a bad spool I got but it was more stiff than wire and had more memory than Memorex. It is the only line that I hate. If you can afford it try some Halo or I have also heard good things about the Evolution stuff if you don't want flouro.

McCoy mean green.

Try Maxima Green mono.................

lunker-lander · 12-13-07, 04:44 PM

Yeah, I love the Ultragreen too, but my spool seemed to curl pretty quick. Maybe a bad spool. I don't know...

BigBassin144 · 12-13-07, 04:47 PM

Well, If you're talking about mono Stren is the only line for me.
(I haven't tried Ande mono yet, but I'm going to this spring.

Line shopping this week. Actually, it's for Mom's Christmas present, but we'll make a stop at Cabela's...

BigBassin144 · 12-13-07, 04:56 PM

Now that sounds like a good idea. I'll get my mom a bass boat! She'll love it!

It almost brings a tear to my eye when I find someone who REALLY understands the meaning of Christmas - it's what you give, not what you get that is important!
