The CXX is a bit too stiff and wirey for my taste. I bought some 3 pound P line for jig fishing at Taney. I swear that stuff is 6 pound test strength. Slick too.

Choose the right blank, use micro guides, spiral wrap, put a quality reel, like a Revo MGX or a Daiwa Steez or Zillion, on it, and you do not need to mess with hay balers. I love those finesse bait caster rods. there is a company called B And R Outlaw rods that make an excellent light jig finesse Baitcaster rod. And it’s fairly close to STL in Collinsville, IL. snagged in outlet 3 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one that I got from Ark that couldn’t be shipped to B&R because it was marked 7’ and was actually only 6’11”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Jones Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 In regards to fluorocarbon, I said this somewhere once before to the agreement of some and disagreement of others and I'll say it again: Fluorocarbon is the hot girl of fishing line. It's flashy, popular with all the guys, loves being noticed and works awesome when it's in a good mood. It's also high maintenance, very temperamental, has to be pampered and will leave you absolutely heartbroken without any notice......... That being said, I will spool my spinning rods with 8 lb red label in the winter and will use what's left as leader material to braid when I throw little swimbaits on a spinning rod while float fishing in the summer. For the vast majority of the rest of my fishing, I prefer just using regular mono, tying the knots I want to tie and avoiding all the excess "drama"..........

I find myself using 15# mono more and more these days on my casting gear for the same reasons you've mentioned. Once I use up the rest of my 10# spool of Trilene 10% fluorocarbon, I will probably go with Trilene XT or Maxima Ultragreen and start using that for my leaders on my spinning/braid combos.
