What is your favorite fishing line to use when catching bass and catfish?

Bass Pro XPS Floro, 15lb.

i like the yellow stuff from acadmey for my catfish rods... easy to see.

17lb silver thread

10 lb red cajun

14lb Stren magniflex because Southwestern has it for $3 a spool.

20lb Berkley Big Game because its cheap and strong.


When I get some casah under me(a job) I will go back to Power Pro.

Where is Southwestern and what is Southwestern?

Southwestern parts. It is located on Mockingbird and Irving(?) just west of I35. They sell refurbished reels at good prices, they have new stuff (rods & reels) and do a lot of reel cleaning and repairs. Not much in the way of tackle but for the bigger stuff they have a good selection.

Ande Backcountry..

How is the Stren Magnaflex?

Mono lines
Sufix - Camo
Trilene XL - Blue

Braided line
Spiderwire - Camo

i just bought 2 500yd spools of the power pro yellow(65lb) and the red (50lb). i can't wait to try them out.

That red cajun has had me cussing as of late. I got so bent last time at the Vine I pulled it off and it is grounded for a while. Went with the Stren low vis green 8 lb on the spinning reel and it is all good now. Cajun kep breaking at the know and it was brand new....

I have given up on mono all together. I got tired of "low memory" lines. I pull all mono off my casting reels and went with 15 lb EZ cast braid from spider wire w/ a floro leader bout 18-24 inches long. On my spinning reel I am useing 8lb floro all the way.

14lb Suffix Elite Mono

or

30lb Power Pro Braid

32lb parallelium from lake fork tackle. Love that line. Can't wait till they come out with there flurocarbon.

Hi Seas - Black widow. This is the best catfishing line I have ever used and i have tried just about all of them on the market.

Power Pro Braided

Mr. Crappie Line and Vicious Panfish Line.

Triple fish camo line
berkley big game

Ande - the IGFA and Backcountry lines are top notch

50lb power pro

Not bad. Not stellar. Well worth the $3 per spool.

20lb SpiderWire Cammo.

I got 600 yds of it at Cabelas yesterday for $25.

right now i'm liking the 17# cajun. havent had a problem with it breaking

Berkley Fireline flame green 20lb

eagle claw 12 test ( buck 99 ) and 12 lb berkaly big gamein green (6 bucks or so ) . i cant tell any difference in them except , but have more confidence in eagle claw ( which has a larger diameter )

the one with a big bass on the other end

bass pro had a sale on thee Stren Super braid a couple of weeks ago for 77 cents for a 300 yard spool of everything from 10lb braid to 65# braid. I bought 30 spools....good to last me about a week haha.

now you tell us !

seagur 12lb test and berkley vanish.great lines for tournament angling when you cant afford to lose that good fish

10# stren super knot low vis green!

I second the #17 cajun line. Smooth and tuff

Here I am again to post about the [censored] line that Bass Pro put on my new spinning real....it sucks, it is 10 lb test and it is green...that is all I know....back to the red cajun or stren...and it is only 3 weeks old!

Berkley and SpiderWire

Power Pro Braided 65lbs (w/4oz weight)...pulled many tree branches and small tires out of the water.

cajun blood red 14lb mono test

20lb suffix braid or 40lb stren superbraid. They discontinued the stren superbraid...don't know why it was a good line, but basspro was liquidating them at .77 a spool...yea you read that right 77 cents for a 300yd spool of superbraid. Needless to say, I literally bought a basketfull. Should last me till the end of this month...

it was bps excel,but its been kinda brittle feeling so ive went to trilene big game

Trilene XL or Sufix Braid

LMB, Suffix Elite in Camo.

Catfish, Big Game in Green.

Seaguar Invizix 15lb and Powerpro.....nuff said!

17# test Cajun Line (mono)(Smooth casting for distance and affordability)

I like the Cajun Red Lightning @14 lb , and the P-Line Fluoro from 12-17 lb lines.....

Spider wire Ez braid 20-60 pound ($9.99 at gander for 150yrds) Tied to a spro ballbearing swivel with 15 pound big game as a leader. I prefer 20 for light duty casting and the 60 for the heavy stuff in the grass.

Been thinking about swapping to the H20 15 pound as my leader. A friend uses it and that stuff is strong as H3LL! Just unshure I see it curl ALOT! seems to have bad memory..

I spool up with around 30yrds of the big game as a backing then tie on the Ez braid and only put on aprox 70-80yrds of it. one spool does me twice.
I use this on 5 diff rigs.

Works Great! I got snagged on a full size metal lawn chair the other day. Pulled it right in with no problems. Had me laughing for a hour or so.


Until I hooked up with a 12.5 pound 35" Bowfin! WOW what a fight that was! O so close to state record! Been going back to get her sister! They roll all over this "secret" spot I found!

I will smash that state record!!

Great catch Ezdaar!

Trilene XL

berkely BIG GAME

Trilene XL 10 lb and Power pro is the only braid I will use in a spinning reel.

for mono i used breakaway 30# (small dia, super strong) ... they don't make it any more ... looking to try ultima, prolly go with red ice ... breakaway is supposed to start selling it ... big game inhales sharply, BUT i do use 50# big game for a shock line

used TUF salt & pepper 35# braided spectra for years ... now trying out power pro 50# & 65# ... may check into calcutta braid per the dam-man

20lb Gamma

Ande Mono..... Pink 6lb ENVY Green 8-20

sufix siege and sufix elite 10 - 14. seems to cast smoother.
