#5608, "Line"
|
I have a doubt... I fish for northern strain largemouth bass and I'm looking for bass over 5 pounds. I fish mostly on small ponds. Most of the ponds have ultra clear water, sometimes 20ft visibility! Bass in this clear water spook easily. About cover: I fish a pond that's full of weeds and specially soft moss. Other ponds have trees and rocks, and there's one pond with almost no cover. I only fish from the bank and I have one casting rod & reel and one spinning rod & reel.
I think I should use light line because of the clear water, but sometimes I fish heavy cover, and I'm looking for bass over 5lbs. Maybe I should use heavy line on my casting reel and light line on my spinning reel?
Is Trilene XT green a good line? Here at Portugal I saw a line in a shop that seems to be good: Trilene SensiThin Ultra. It's stronger than Trilene SensiThin and Trilene Sensation!
I want a line that works with all kinds of baits (worms, soft jerkbaits, topwaters, spinnerbaits, jigs...).
Well, with all this information could you please tell what kind of line (brand, pound test, color...) should I use on each of my reels (baitcasting and spinning)?
Thanks!
Good fishing!

100% flurocarbon line is almost invisable(same light-index as water) under water. It's also thinner in diameter than mono but stronger.
I've been using Seaguar's Carbon Pro f/c line for about 5 years now and it's helped me land quite a few 3-6 lb Bass from ponds bot no double-digit hookups yet;( . Seaguar perfected f/c line for casting and is the largest manufacturer in the world.
