I am using Sunline Troutist Wild 3lb test on my Triple Cross. It proved to be very sensitive and tough today. I also like its suppleness, it's very manageable.
Realized the “not many options” as soon as I opened the package. That is why I may try tying the 2lb Fluorocarbon leader on to the Sunline. Been watching You Tube videos on that Surgeons knot. I experimented with it a bit last winter using some of the other Superlines and just could not get the results I expected. Bank fishing will be over sooner than usual due to all the rain, so a good knot that I can tie in the boat relatively quick when fishing the nasty stuff is imperative.Quote:

Can you tell I am bored?? I would much rather be working than at home watching it rain. Did get out a bit in between showers today and test the new rod out, will report later. Attachment 370616Quote:

Fellow Anglers,
Let me express some frustration with USDM braided lines: I just lifted a 8 lbs weight with a 2 lbs test Nanobraid from Sufix. At this point I gave up on breaking it. Which USDM braid is closest to be true to its test? Nanofil?
i just want a real 2-5 lbs test braided line. I will certainly be ordering JDM braid from this point on...
I use the small lines to get casting distance and correct lure action. I don't care much about the breakage weight. Too many variables anyway.
I’ve never done a breaking strength test on the NanofI’ll 2lb that I use but it’s pretty strong. No abrasion resistance is its downfall but I haven’t found anything as limber or that casts as well so I just deal with it.
Hey Stan.....I finally used the Unitika PE line yesterday. I had it on the Finezza Prototype with a Ballistic FW reel. With that line....rod.....reel...and those Daiwa Gekkabijin jig heads those fish didn’t stand a chance.....LOL. The line is very bright out in the sun.....which is a good thing for me. Of course it will take some time for me to come to a conclusion on the line but so far so good....was not any wind at all down there so I had no wind knot issues. Crappie in the 12-13 inch range and white bass in the 13-15 inch range....pretty good test for the line.
Regards
