jigging line

[percheye]

Man should of listened to everyone. Ironsilk is crap. Was wondering what type of line everyone prefers on the Det. River. I plan on using a barrel swivel with mono on the bottom few feet. Thanks for your input

You'll probably get 3 main responses: Stealth, Power pro, and Fireline. Probably cant't go wrong with any of them.

percheye - forget the swivel and leader - not nessesary. I have used the straight 8lb. flame Fireline with great results. Bob WC#253.

I prefer Power Pro, it doesn't bury itself in the spool like some of the other super braids. It also doesn't fray like the others. The only time I add a swivel & P-Line Fluorcarbon is in clearer water. Pat

My preference is #4/#1 green Fireline, tied directly to the jig.

I prefer Cabela's Ripcord superbraid myself in the 15/2 size - flame green. It's a bit thinner than Fireline, and I've found it has a little less memory as well. I do use a ball bearing swivel, and a 3-4 foot 8# mono leader - not so much for finicky fish, but simply because its easier to break when snagged.

I use 6lb fireline. Was tying direct and switched to swivel and 4ft of mono. Was having trouble in cold weather getting fireline started through jig. It has a tendency to fray slightly when broke off. Helped me alot going to mono and it alway broke off at jig. Used 8lb sensation for mono.

I'll second what Pat said, Power Pro.

Doesn't get stuck in the spool and doesn't fray like the fireline, wasn't happy with the fireline at all.

Good luck,

I use fireline for jigging. 6-8 lb works great. Word of caution, don't set the hook too hard. You will rip the hook right out of their mouth. Sweep set your rod. The fireline is extremely sensitive I personally love the stuff...

[Rapaleye]

I am going to be the dissenter here. I prefer either Mono or Mono tipped with florocarbon. I have tried the superlines but they are so thin I think it doesn't provide enough resistence to the falling jig. For jigs 1/4 -3/8 I prefer 10-12lb mono because it seems to provide the right resistance to the jig as it falls.
This year I am going to try all flrorcarbon for verticle jigging. I know some people have had real problems but since I don't have to cast I am hoping I won't have the same problems.
For casting jigs I will not use super lines any more.

Me too - I'm still prefer straight mono. Sensithin 4lb was good, will try sensation this once I use up the Sensithin stock. Have used several others over the years. I do prefer Fireline for vertical fishing blades.

Spiderwire Fusion in 24#/12dia (pretty sensitive, can feel everything on bottom). Use a Palomer for jigs. I've found the braided lines don't like improved clinch knots too well. I like to use duo-locks tied to the line (no swivel). These type allow practically whatever lure your connecting to the line to "run true". Swivels generally screw-up the action of a lure.

[Fishin Coach]

Just curious, What size do you guys recomend in the power pro?
Would like to try the stuff, still looking for a braid I like. Loved the sensitivity of fireline but hated it's tendence to burry itself in the spool.
Thank-you,

I have used 6lb Berkley Sensation for jigging and casting now for a couple of years and have never had any problems. Its great stuff, I would recommend it.

Try a lighter weighted jig with the power pro.

8# Test/1# Diameter for Pitching and Vertical Jigging. 10# Test/2# Diameter for casting Cranks and Slip Bobbering.
