Thread: What brand and kind of line do you use?

We recenty had a thread on here about line, I was also in market to buy new line, decided to order some Viscious Hi-vis from monks (and Money jigs)
Suffix elite seemed highly rated also.
Was using Stren 6# it really was poor excuse for line, Trilene 6# (red) worked well for yrs , but It is time to replace and I'm ready to try something new.

viscious hi vis has been working good for me

You said it did ok at first then started twisting,could it be drag too lose and winding fish or something and not taking in line will cause it to twist,or unbalance bait like a curly tail with tail turn opposite way of hook on a lite jig like 1-32 causing the bait to flip over, I use 4 lb flow that came from bps and it do ok for me.

I keep my drag more to the tight side. I have the viscious line on some of my rods still. Never had this problem. I like to change my line every so often. It seems once I got to the center of this spool of BP line, it is very twisty. I don't know if its how they put it on the spool or maybe its getting old. I know I am going to go back to vicious or something else. I may try the Sufix Elite some on here prefer. Thanks for the info. I'm not nearly as knowledgable as many here on crappie fishing and appreciate all advice I get. Most of my fishing in the past when I was younger was bass and cats. I really enjoy crappie fishing now.

( using spinning reels) I was taught/told by grandfather,, it isn't so much using a light drag -- but twists are caused by reeling while a fish is taking drag. Say the line is stopped ( at stand still)- If your reel is 5:1 ratio, for each time you crank handle, you put 5 twists in line .

I used Suffix Hi-Vis yesterday in 6ft of water, no problems as, the Ladies liked it! I came home with 19 Fat-ones but things are going to get better..........

Bill dance taught me about the line twist also . However, I recently bought some P-Line about two weeks ago and decided to try it out Saturday. Well lets just say that line didn't make it to the lake. I couldn't stop the line from twisting so I said the heck with it, took it off and stuck with my Suffix. I tried stepping out if the box, but I went back in.
