Thread: JDM lines relating to panfish

Ok, so I’m starting to look at writing up reviews of the JDM/UL Lines I have tried, and I honestly don’t want to type that much.

I think I am going to feature a nylon, fluoro/ester, and braid in occasional spotlights here in this thread???

Or I could list the lines I have experience with and you all could request a line and I can review what seems popular???

Give me some feedback here, I just don’t have the time to write anything detailed enough to be called a review for 30+ lines at this point, but I’d love to share my experience with these lines best I could.

I’d occasionally throw out a review on one or two of them... I am interested in your favorite nylons

I’d be interested in any reviews you do of hi-vis ester.....nylons.....FC.

Well that’s two quick votes for nylons.

I’ve got some insight here, not sure what y’all have tried, I’ve been through about a dozen of you count different lb test per specific line make/model.

I’ve got a new one spooled up I’m excited to try this weekend.

Varivas Twitch Master. It’s supposed to be a low stretch nylon.

I’m also interested in reviews of your favorite nylons. I generally use 2 to 3 lb line.

Ok gents, nothing ground breaking here but I did get about 6 hours this morning with the new Varivas Twitch Master “low stretch” Nylon in this funky champagne gold color.

First off the color... it looks...strange... on the spool, like Campbell’s cream of chicken almost. However, it shines bright gold in the air and disappears under water, which is handy. I would not call this high visibility line, but I can see it just fine and I struggle with seeing like thats not radioactive bright.

I ordered the 4lb test, by accident mainly, but I’m thinking happy accident actually. It’s rated at .148mm. I was casting a 1gr. (actual weight, not listed weight) marabou jig with no plastic trailer every bit of 60 feet with the Abu Eradicator 67 slow taper. This is plenty far for what I need and having the 4lb definitely didn’t hurt sensitivity in my eyes and I don’t have to be as cautious of line breaking.

I don’t see any need for my fishing at this time to buy a lighter test, this 4lb performs just like I want it to.

As a reference for people that may have tried the BMS Sublime Fluorocarbon.... I can see this line better, with much less stretch and much farther cast distance than the 2lb BMS.

I really do feel like this has less stretch than their other nylon I have tried, the Sight Edition, it’s VERY stretchy though.

Overall this is my new favorite Nylon, I will continue to use it, maybe not on the Eradicator, but I see lots of use for this line in my future. Might even get the 5 or 6 lb version for my one finesse JDM bass rod I use when I’m targeting smallies.

I should also mention that maybe my assessment on sensitivity is not very valid seeing as I used it on the Eradicator, I will use it drop shot rig on the 610 Lunakia next time on the water for a better assessment on sensitivity, I feel it most likely with end up where most nylons do.

I assume you ment 1gm as apposed to 1gr.
