Need Advice For Spinning Reel Line

[huntest]

I am wanting to replace the line on my spinning reels. I have honestly never been satisfied with the spinning reel line that I have selected in the past so my go to set ups have been bait casters. The way the line tangles off the end of the spool reminds me of a Lucille Ball episode...

Here is my spinning gear and intended use:

Phleugar President on a Skeet Reese 7'3 M drop shot rod drop shot

Mitchell 301 on a TFO 7' MH spoons & occasional jigs (don't laugh the old Mitchell is mint)

Quantum 20 on Falcon Original 6'6 ML crappie

Older Abu Cardinal on an older Abu 6'6 m graphite backup

I am okay with floro leaders if I should use mono for more limp and less line memory

Please Help!

Braid w/ fluoro leader.

This is purely a personal preference for me; but I use the high visibility (bright yellow) super lines; with a 20+ foot leader of Fluoro. It casts a mile with no memory, but I still get the benefits of clear line. And the length of leader allows me to retire as needed throughout the day without re-tying a new leader. I like the high viz line to see those subtle movements in the line.:-)

I would go with a braid and flouro leader on the drop shot rod and P-line on the others. You will cut the twisting considerably if you close the bail manually and back reel instead of the drag as much as possible.

For spinning reals I like Stren Magnathin. As for the tangle off the spool, I only have that problem if I put too much line on. Good Luck. Duck

Duck, my thoughts exactly. I respooled one of my spinning reels yesterday and over filled it and it just fell of the reel freely. I stripped 20 yards or so off and it was fine. Over spooling is very bad.

My favorite main line for spinning used to be Fireline, but I like NanoFil these days. I use a 7 or 8-foot leader (fluoro for everything except topwater) and it's the best I've ever used.

I'm really starting to LOVE Power Pro braid on spinning with mono or fluro leaders. I do still throw just "mono". I use P-Line CX Premium 6, 8, and 10 lb for a full spool..

I'll use a little bit of everything for my leader material.

I will admit BPS Excel is pretty good for the price especially when you catch it on sale.

Suffix Braid in 6lb with a leader is my standard...or 8lb mono...havent found a flouro line that I like yet....just spooled some Sunline...will see...very skinny when compared to other lines rated for the same lb test.
