Fishing Line

[jooleyen]

I am going to get some new mono fishing line because I have none. I've heard a lot of good things about Ande mono.

I would like to get a large spool. (at least 1,500 yds.)

I was thinking about 12 pound test and up.

What is the exact type of line and test you get?

Thanks.

Jools-what kind of rod are you using? For a baitcaster 12 lb is great-that's what I use. If it is a spinning reel I'd go no heavier than 10 and would recommend 8. Heavier line doesn't work as well on a spinning reel unless it is a big reel. Either the paperwork or the reel itself will have the recommended line weights for the reel you are using.

Ande is a good line. So is Trilene Big Game. For line color it is personal preference but I prefer green mono.

I'm using a Pflueger Baitcasting Reel and a medium heavy 6.5 foot rod.

Anytime . For that reel I'd go with 12 lb, 17 at the heaviest. All I throw is 12.

[texasbasser]

im with reb, all i use is 12 on my baitcaster.
i gte trilene big game 900 yard spools. they are great line and are 7 bucks.

get 15lb trilene big game in green for soft plastics and jigs,with cranks and spinnerbaits,get 12lb green. i suggest getting a few spools of differant pound tests in differant line sizes and colors.

[Fishin49er]

Ill second Skeeters post, except i fish my spinnerbaits on 15lb (just preference). Big Game is a great value, its all i use for baitcasting.

12 pound ande for sure.. i like the envy for t-rigging as you can easily see it but clear or back country will work..

ANDE all the way. I use 10lb. on my casters but thats just personal preference. And as Zook said you can get green envy for seeing your line. You will easily find 1500yds. of that stuff. If not just PM me since anybody carries that stuff down here since most use it for saltwater.

Ande or stren are good in 10 to 17 pound test.

I'm with Reb. I use 12lb Ande for cranks and top waters. I bought a spool of it after hearing Zooker go on and on and on and on about it everytime there was a question about what line everybody uses. He didn't steer me wrong.

[jooleyen]

Thanks guys. Now i'm gonna get some trilene, but I will get some Ande soon.

You really helped.

[skeeter944]

no problem! if you have any other questions,send me a pm,i will be glad to help!

if something is junk i will state it with out question. i have used ande line for 30 years..
i have held a line class record-steele head- with 10 pound ande clear for 8 years only to have it fall to my uncle who caught a 22.8 pound steele head on 10 pound ande clear..

do i belive in this stuff? certainly with out question in my mind ande is the best mono for the money you can get..

zookr,
I always figured that trailer yer workin' on is going to haul a 5 ton spool of ande line back from the fact'ery rofl.am i right?

[zooker]

nope i use 1/2 pound pools of ande. i use just about every color they make.

There ya go zook! I'm looking at breaking a few records this year just got size one up first!

[jooleyen]

They didn't have any Big Game, so I looked for the same stuff in other lines and I got Trilene XT Extra Tough Low Vis Green 12 pound test 330 yds.

I really like the line, but it is different because I get more backlashes.

[skeeter944]

that should work just fine! i like the xt too,just the big game is the same price for like 900 yards.

[rrw4258]

my fav. line for my baitcasters is 12lb. big game or 14lb. trilene xt!!

I would not reccomend you go with the cheapest line you can find. You get what you pay for. I have broken off many 3lb bass, on Big Game. Go with the Ande.
But thats just my.02
