Hello please fill this out

1. What brand name line do you use and why?

2. what typed do you use for your certain fish? what are the pors and cons of this line?(example pound,xl,xl,mono,braided)

[TNT]

fireline!!! this by far the best line for walleyes.you cant beat the sensitivity and the green works great for fish hitting the bait on the fall.i still use 10lb photocromatic on 8/6 trolling rods for planer boards but i still have 2 8/6 rods with 4-10 to pull cranks on the miss and when i dont use the offshore boards, the mono stays cliped better and with boards you dont need to feel your bait i just wait for my little flag to go down just set a your drag a little lighter for trolling with fire line

For jigging and casting I use PowerPro line. It's a braided line like Fireline but better. I use
20lb/6lb dia. for jigging and 30lb/8lb dia. for casting. For slip bobber fishing I use Silver Thread mono 4# or 6#. For trolling I have tried braided line but prefer mono......Silver Thread 10#. PowerPro makes alot of different sizes.
Check out there web site at www.powerpro.com
Hope this info helps. :-)

I agree with sandy as far as super lines go,until you have tried power pro you cant even make a fair
comparision . my partner tried it last fall and
lost one jig in 3 days of vertical jigging in the
mississippi and fraying was next to nothing,so i
tried it much slicker on guides and sensativity is
awsome only complaint is very tough to break when
snagged worse than just hook on a log.it will just straighten most jigs.

Those are all good lines. I have used all those lines(excepet the high visibility, no, waite!, the backing on my fly rod is chartruse but that dosen't count.) I gave them all up, except for the use of fireline 14lb.- 6lb.dia. smoke color off and on. My other 3 rod n reels, that are on board are filled with 6lb. Trilene XT in soft green color. It is a good casting line, trolling line. It has just enough stretch with plenty of sensitiveity for me with the right rod. Ice fishing 4lb. for jigging, tip ups, 8lb. low vis. Trilene XT You can say I've come back home to MONO. Walleye fish 90% of the time, even in winter. crappie, perch, pike, trout, salmon the other 10% Keep crank'n

My workhorse lines have been 14lb fireline and six and eight pound test "Triple Fish" monofilament. I used to use Trilene but when I purchased a rod/reel combo and they filled the spool with 8# Triple Fish that started it all. At first I thought, "No way am I going to like this stuff." I was wrong. Love it and won't use Trilene or Stren anymore. Triple Fish is not bad about throwing coils, is strong and very resistant to abrasion. It can be hard to find but Bass Pro has had it the last couple years. It is also not terribly expensive.

Maxima Chameleon in different test strengths for different conditions. I found it to have the best knot strength of ANY of the monos or copoly lines. It is also resists abrasive wear better than the others. I may be doing something wrong but I have had trouble with the knots on the firelines pulling out. I've landed a tree on 15lb. Maxima that had taken two of my partners crankbaits off of 20lb.+ fireline.

[SRB]

Fireline exclusively.

[Chuckles]

Fireline - 8 pound green or smoke - for verticle jigging in current primarily and whatever other fishing happens along. Lots of luck, Chuckles
