Recommendations for fishing line....

The slick braid tied directly to the lure/hook works well with a double palomar.

I use the modified Albright. Like I said I've pulled in striper with that knot.  Pretty easy to tie, once u get the hang of it.

A quick surgeons knot and I have broke a lot of leaders and almost never at the knot. I have broke off 20lb leaders tied to 40lb braid and the knot was still been there and only takes seconds to tie.

Simplify. 

Tackle Tour uses Maxima mono as its baseline comparison line because it is so good only the really expensive specialist stuff exceeds it. Yozuri hybrid, although cheap, matches it.

TT studies for braid say Power Pro. I use the metered variety that changes color every 25 feet.

When I choose to put a leader on the braid, I use a Crazy Alberto knot, the one knot wars and TT approved.

 

Yozuri hybrid is truly amazing line for a fraction of the cost. You can get 600 yard spools for $8 on ebay.

I will have to check ou tthat Yozuri, heard about it, so it's low memory I am guessing?  Also, great info gang on the knots.  

Re: Palomar, that original P-knot is what I have been using on braid, but I need to use the double, surely less likely to fail.  

Good stuff to know.  I have 2 spools of 10#  PowerPro - thought of filling up a reel or two.  Sounds like a leader is best for max amount of strikes, and I do like to haul 'em in like you folks!   

Thanks again guys - very helpful info and vids!

I've used Yozuri and it's a good strong line, but it curls more than I like.  The Pline CX premium I use seems to behave better in that area.

I have enjoyed using CX and next to XL has been what I have been running.  Using up some old XL on a reel or two, but P-line CX has never disappointed.  

Thanks much.  Btw, do any of you use the hi-vis lines, and if so in clear water?  Curious if that works as well on getting strikes, vs clear?
