LINE??

Re: LINE??

I use the BPS Excel--I don't know who makes it but it has been a good line. I buy in bulk and during the spring/summer when I am fishing a lot I change my line frequently--especially on my pitching/flipping rigs since they take most of the abuse in heavy cover and the shock from my hook sets. I set the hook like every bite is the next state record!

Berkely Trilene XT 8 pound, is my mono of choice for walleyes! I love the stuff for early season walleyes! I have several 8-9 pounders on it, and have caught 4 sturgeon over 30# on it! For ice fishing I use the XL 2 pound for crappies 6# for walleyes:

I do not use the "super lines" as I have witnessed to many big fish be lost because of the no stretch in them. Maybe tipup fishing I'll use strong line, but fireline to me is a joke: Spiderwire is almost as big of a joke.....no stretch = lost fish in my book! You can catch the big boys if you play them :-)

For bigger fish like flatheads in heavy cover I go with a heavy braided line, I like the Berkley whiplash in about a 40 lb test but its kinda expensive.Worth the money though if you gotta keep a 30 lb fish away from a log jam in the dark.

Everything else I use Berkley mono
