Fishpart,
How has the 35# Spectron worked out for your ABU 6500?

[hooked]

Big Game 15# and 20#
Power Pro 50#

Tried Yozuri Hybrid 10# on a schoolie rod and had problems with coils flying off the spool and lost a couple fish due to breakoffs. May try it again on a backup rod.

[Young Salt]

12-20# Test mono....Berkley big game or Yo-zuri hybrid.

I use 65 pound spider (15 Dim) for everything, with a floro leader in different pounds for different fish, and different sitiuactions.

Also Keep a log. I have a log saved rt here on my computer. Every time you hear the Herrin are running or the first schoolie was caught, A rig someone used, The weather for the day, Water temp that day, What Tide it was which way it was running, Ect,Ect,....... I to am no pro. But this helps alot. you can look back to pervios years and start putting a history toghter. You will then be able to figure out about what time of the year the fish will show. ( do you think that people pull a date out of a hat for when the fish show up) I no when the fish will be at some of my favorite spots and the best time of day and which tide to fish for them by just looking back at my log.
But this will take time to compile, and you have to log stuff in after every trip!! Don't wait 3 or 4 days then put the info in because you will forget small details that might just help you. If you do not you will have nothing to look back on. Its tuff to fish all day then sit at the computer and type it all in but I for one am glad that I did because I can now go out and catch fish Every Trip!! I rember a time when I would go out and come home with nothing more then a empty bait bucket. And how fustraded I was. I did not have the option of turning on a computer and getting all this info.\
People who catch fish all the time are people who have put in the leg work.
I hope this will help you out!!

why should i use floro as my leader, john?

[Notaro]

oh, i see, thanks guys. i hear that a braid line doesn't have any strong abrasion resistant. is it true?

[fishaholic18]

Just cuorios on what line you guys use weather it be mono,braid, or whatever. I mainly use Spiderwire Super Mono 14#-20# test with pretty good luck.

[skigill]

I use magibraid 30# and p-line flouroclear 15 and 25#.

[IFG]

Power Pro 10 Schoolies
Power Pro 20 Jigging from a boat
Power Pro 80 Jigging the Canal

Big Game 20 Plugging the canal
Yo Zuri 8-20 for Plugging

[Fly Rod]

Since I'm a good sport at striper fishing and don't want to create stress I use #50lb test main line and #40lb floroucarbon and haul them to the boat and put them in the cooler. My buddy likes to use #20lb test and play the fish for an hour and then release them. He says he believes in conservation. Can you imagine the stress.

[Good N You]

Just got my 5500's spooled with 20lb. Momoi Diamond at Fishermans Outfitters per his advice. I will see how it works. Anyone have any experience with this line? Used Ande and big game 17 last year with good results. I dont fish the canal and usually fish from the boat or the sand.

[keeper]

Hybrid 20 lb ,great line for $.My bigest 42lb( keeper) was taken on HYBRID , I swear on this line.

[Strippedgear]

20, 25, 30# Big Game

65, 50# Whiplash

I just purchased 50# Power Pro on the recommendation of an old friend who claims that it stays slicker than the Whiplash. I hope that this is true, but I will find out this year.

[nightfighter]

Yozuri hybrid 20# and 30#, might have some 25# in there too. I like it, the smoke colored one is good to my eyes. Trying Power Pro 30# braid WHEN I FINALLY DO GET TO GO CAST A FEW!!!......

Where's that thread about backing for braid?????

[hooked]

Answers in this one helped me.

I back with 20# big game but haven't been taken into the backing (yet).

[glennjan]

Used only cajun line 20# past two seasons on spinning reels...no problem ...using it this year
