Title: Re: lets talk line Post by Kerry on Jan 26th, 2014 at 9:40pm
When I head into backcountry I only carry one rod and reel (bait caster) so it has to be to be a compromise - whether I'm casting, trolling, jigging, whether bass, walleye, trout or pike, whatever, it's the same rig. Over the past couple of years I've been using Suffix 832 and I love it. I use 30 lb not because I need the strength (although when my lure gets buried in junk it's nice) but because that's a diameter that I can tie easily (the same diameter as 8 lb mono.) I also don't use leaders but the 832 is very resistant to bite off (I haven't had more than a couple Pike bite me off in the last two years.) During a 3 week trip I just cut back the abraded line. But even when it's time to add a new spool I only put on half, which I tie to the remaining unsullied half spool with a double uni. If you like braid I'd recommend 832.
