Question about fishing line?

**slabbyt** · 02-09-2010, 07:11 PM

I always bought and used Sufix Elite line in 4lb test line, high visibility yellow.
Very, very, good line. I never ever had a bit of trouble out of this line, the only trouble is, the 4lb and 6lb test in yellow is hard to find. I was at Basspro shops in Prattville Monday, they did not have it, so I bought some Mr. Crappie line in 6lb test. Does anyone use this and is it reliable?

The Mr. Crappie line is excellent line, I use it along with the Sufix Siege Hi vis Tangerine/orange colored line. It's nice to have 2 different color lines while trolling so you can stagger the different colors and it really makes each line stand out. This sufix siege tangerine is very hard to find but I did find it at sportmansguide.com, I just ordered 4-330yd spools myself. Sufix is also offereing a rebate form on their website right now if you order 2 or more 330 yard spools, you just print the rebate form out on their website. Hope this helps.

I use the Mr. Crappie 4lb Hi-Vis yellow line exclusively for all my jig fishing and have had excellent results. I'm convinced that anything larger than 4lb test when jig fishing decreases your odds.

Thanks guys, and thanks Bob D., that was one big question I had in my mind about the jump from 4lb to 6lb.

I toss 4 lb Fireline braid. It has the diameter of about 1 lb line, it's like thread, but has the strength of about 10 lb. line. It's cheap because I fill half the ultralight reel with regular line and then put it on (use a glove and put it on tight). Crank to 65 and that's about half of a 13 dollar 125 yard spool, that's all you need. I've landed 20 plus pound drum, giant channel cats and big bass on the stuff. I mainly fish Guntersville. My drag is light, so I just tell the guy in the back, "this may be awhile" but usually get them all in. It works great for crappie, I like the smoke, but it's hard to find, but the white or yellow works super and it casts a country mile!!!

A lot of longliners I know use the Mr Crappie 4# Hi Vis line. I use the MC on my Slo Trolling rods also.
