Thread: JDM lines relating to panfish

Here’s a spreadsheet I made with my own personal scoring system of the lines I’ve tried thus far on my JdM equipment... So far, the Suffix Nanobraid and Varivas Red Ajing Ester mono are my favorites, I think, though that when I get the 2lb Sunline BMS 2lb that I just ordered in, it will shoot up to the toward the top of not being the all around #1, I really dislike tying leader knots.... which is something you’ll want to consider with that 6’3” Lunakia, it has the smallest guides as on any of my other rods... 2lb fluoro to the 2.3lb Ester with a 2 turn surgeons knot will sometimes click through those top guides enough to affect cast distance. If you want to stock with Nylon I can’t recommend the Sunlime Troutist Wild 3lb that Chris sells enough, it is fantastic nylon mono, my wife uses it exclusively.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Nice workup. Crappie.com is fast becoming a site to scope out JDM info.

I still have a long way to go to catch up to what you’ve contributed on this subject.

I should have my rod summaries completed this month sometime and will publish them to Google Docs to share to the JDM rod thread.

+1 on Crappie.com. Very useful and great information. I’m really learning a lot, and look forward to being able to contribute to the conversation.
