WHAT SIZE LINE DO I USE? 

I’ve always been afraid to use line higher than what’s recommended on the reel But I recently started using bait casters after fishing all of my life with spinning reels and now realize there is a big difference in performance and capability’s

Those are my people!!! Not sure how I missed this one but you clearly won the internet that day and today since when I seen it lol priceless

Great information! Thanks, John!

Thanks John we appreciate your videos. 👍

Great insight into line size choices for bass fishing techniques

Great information John. Great for beginners and the more advanced. I still like my 10 lb for cranking. But got me to thinking. Thank you my brother.

Thank you....as always great info for us beginners

Good video and information John. Sunline is a heck of a product

Thank you it helped a lot 😊😊

Thank you for this !

Thank u so much.. help me a lot

Awesome video you are a awesome teacher

Thanks for the info! I like to fish lighter lines. I'm usually using a 6 to 8 pound for finesse applications, and 10 to 15 for throwing lures.. Unless I'm throwing big swim Baits, then I bump it up because I don't want to lose those expensive Spro BB z's.

this is the video i needed

5:15 when you explained 12lb, I understood the emphasis and the aggressiveness of fish demographically.

I fish creeks and ponds in a kayak. All I carry are spinning rods. I never understood people saying bait casters were more accurate. I can put a bait wherever I want. Anyway, I throw a lot of smaller baits. A big bass for the creeks is maybe 5 lbs. and in ponds, I have caught my largest, 10.5lbs. I pretty much always use fluorocarbon line, from 4 to 12 lb lines. (I do like catching pan fish so that gear is very light and very small baits, but the panfish taste great). A friend converted my catfishing line to braid. That is where it shines for me. Usually, 20lb. I just like spinning reels. Personal choice.

This is just the video i was looking for. New to bass fishing and was completely overwhelmed on information about type and size of line to use. Thanks for the insight. Im going to follow your suggestion of the 30# braid and 12-15 flouro. Have you ever had and good luck with lure clips instead of retying a new bait everytime? When i salt water fished alot we used Tony clips and they seemed to work good.

good info

With the 12 pound braid on spinner what line and weight should I use for a leader? Thanks!

I’m just starting out in saltwater fishing and if you have any information on lines and rigging for surf fishing Corpus Christi area in particular it would be greatly appreciated. Normally a bass fisherman they’re “ my people “ too!😅

When spooling a spinning reel with braid, I have purchased 10 pound braid and it says it has equal diameter to 2 pound test (0.15mm). Do I need to go up in my braid size to match for my Assassin FC leader in 10 lbs (.265mm) and should the braid be heavier than the leader?

What size and type of line should I use for throwing a 5 inch Trace? And can you throw it on a spinning rod or only a bait caster? I do use both, but prefer the spinning, as I just started with a bait caster about a year ago. Thank you for any advice you may give!

What pond line should I use on a 4000 reel

Thanks John, great job describing the various applications of the line to the baits. Do you ever match the line to the rod action you are using? I.e. a med heavy rod use 30# braid and a heavy action rod use 50# braid? Thanks again!

So unless i'm finesse fishing in clear water i shouldn't worry about a leader when fishing braid?

More power to you John, especially to your contents. What brand should I buy for a braided line that can haul a 20 lbs fish? Thanks.

What size braid on baitcaster for nedrigs

What size rod are you using for that !

So what type and size line would you use for a fluke on a weighted swimbait hook or a weightless caffeine shad- fished like a soft jerkbait is traditionally. I'm throwing it on 30lb braid to a 10-12 lb fluoro leader but I'm having a tendency to over work the bait I think- especially on shorter casts. Should I change to straight fluroro maybe or just learn not to over work it? Both? Have the same problem with hard jerkbait- braid to leader again- 10 pound fluoro usually- but I over work them to often- and haven't really gotten good at maintaining the proper amount of slack. I'm trying to get a more crisp action, stopping and starting on a dime- but it's very difficult not to hit it too hard or to leave the proper amount of slack in the line as I work it. I've considered changing to a spinning rod to- just to see if that would help- I know a lot of guys swear by them for jerkbaits.

John Crews. I love using texas rig with 3/8oz tungsten bullet on a bait caster 7.2 speed and medium fast rod. What line should I use?

For live bait or bait like strimp, cut chicken breast is it fine if I use 20 pound braid line on a spinning rod ?

I need help I baitcaster My real holds 30 pounds of 140 yards I like to use 20 how many yards can I use for 20 pound test

What lb should I use on a zebco 33 all time favorite reel which it say 6 to 14 lbs test line

My rod says 15-30. If I go lighter does it affect anything?

Hey John, my high school is sponsored by P-line, but when we went to order they were out of my go to spinnerbait line, is Sunline Assassain FC good for spinnerbaits? Should I order 17 or 20? Thanks!

I’m buying a baitcaster to keep in my truck and I can’t decide between gettin braid or not

What lb test leader on 10 lb braid

If my spinner reel reads 4, 6, 8 and 10 lbs, would it be wrong to use a 20lb line?

What is 8lbs braided good for?

✨✝️😇✝️✨

Big grumpy brown fish so a catfish lol

Can i get fisheng rod and reel set for ypu for free hehe

I hate nylon line it always untangle like a bird nest

Please...to many videos have talk for far too long before you have any useful information.

Goofball

2 things: 1. Sunline rates their line based on actual breaking strength. Most companies are quite untruthful with the line rating. They rate their line 10% to 50% above the actual breaking strength!!!! So, keep that in your mind when you shop. Compare diameters. If you are used to 15# Berkley big game mono and buy 15# sunline mono you will find it to be much smaller in dia and "not as strong" as the comparable big game. Why? 20# Sunline Super Natural is the same dia as 15# big game! 15# big game is actually 20 pound test! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SS33aYSB6c4.html 2. A leader tip for new people out there. If you are using light line say 10-20 braid to 12# on down fluoro, all you need is an Albright knot. It is easy to tie, very strong, and plenty small enough. FG is the strongest and smallest, but it takes a lot more time. Rod guide size is an important factor as well. I have rods with smaller guides that require an FG. You can't use leader with mico guides.

When fishing for pike, is a steel leader always necessary?

And you said 15 to 20 foot leader????? I’ve always heard of 20 to 30 inches, but not feet.

Flurocarbon and mono are made from the same material.
