Need Advice For Spinning Reel Line

[Guest]

Alberto knot for braid to leader. I checked on the line diameters of P-Line CX Premium 6lb (0.21 mm) and Yo Zuri Hybrid 6 lb (0.26 mm).

I didn't look up all the listed strengths, but it does seem that the P Line is thinner.

alberto is real easy to learn,

I like to fish senkos, small swimbaits, shakey heads.

So far, my best river largemouth is 4lbs with the alberto knot combo.

So......if i want to spool up with 10# maxima.....I should step down to 8#?

I personally like 8lb for my spinning gear. For my spinning gear I use it for shakey heads, small jigs, swimming grubs and drop shotting.

10# I use for cranks and jerk baits and I use fluoro for both.

12-15# I use for jigs, texas, jika rigs and use fluoro. Use mono for buzz baits and spinner baits in 15# big game.

17# I use on topwater and use Trilene XL mono

20# I have never used this high of test on TR before but I am going to get into throwing big flutter spoons this year as it looks fun so I will be throwing those big 5" 1+oz spoons on 20lb Seaguar Inv X fluoro.

65# I use braid for A-Rigs and gonna try frogging if the water ever gets high again to flip and pitch it in and out of trees.

I know you didn't ask for all this info but hey its still winter and I have cabin fever and nothing else to do.

I have tried many and have owned many different spinning reels over the last 35 years. I am really impressed with the Okuma's. Wal mart sells them for around $30.. In my experience, it has been the most bang for my buck.. Absolute Love them....

20lb braid with Seaguar invisx leader has worked well for me.

I didn't see to many pluses for fire-line. I love it on my spinning reels. With a 10' length of a good fluoro. Don't have much trouble with this set up.

Years ago, I tried Fireline. I found it to be really brittle. I broke it multiple times with a quick wrist snaps. There are multiple posts where ppl are in agreement with you and have said braid with a short piece of leader is a great combo.

I use Gamma edge floro 8#...Only problems I have is distance. Long casts don't matter as much were I came from...not real sure if the extra 10-15 feet matter as much on TR
