dogdoc Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 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! todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birddog Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: LINE?? 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: LINE?? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmunster Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: LINE?? I use 4 lb spiderwire on my ultralite rig, 8 or 10 pound spiderwire on my spinning rigs, and 10 or 12 lb spiderwire on my baitcaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: LINE?? I've been using Stren, but might try Berkley Triline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: LINE?? I use Trilene XL 8# for walleyes. It just doesn't curl as much in the rivers, and I can feel my jig better with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
