I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzread.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

Big SHOUTOUT to lojooo for standing in the stores for probably about an hour talking to himself and not giving no eff about other ppl lol 💪🏼💯🎣 keep grinding love the channel

I learned a lot in this video a lot of fisherman don’t do their research before they give advice on what equipment to use during bass fishing so I appreciate you knowing your stuff and making this video easier to understand for beginner anglers like myself. Thank you

I don't need another rod or reel! I have plenty but my favourite is the Spider Wire 25 lb. test line. I have used this for 20 something years. I have never had a problem with the wire itself and it has been the best hands down! No backlash or hangups like you get with monofilament wire. My least favourite is just that - monofilament because it stretches and it snags easily because of that very property. Thank you for sharing this with us. Most people don't understand the difference between the three but I do because I've used them all. I have been fishing for over 40 years and I just went fishing yesterday (6/13/2021) and I just can't seem to catch ANYTHING but babies from the shore. This is why it's best to use a boat! Thank you again and have a great year.

I’ve always used only mono but I’m slowly starting to use other types of line. This video gave me some great ideas for future fishing trips!

My favorite line by far is the Berkley Tri-lene Big game mono. It is marketed as more of a saltwater line, but the abrasion resistance and low memory makes it amazing for all around freshwater fishing. also for a price of around $15 for 1500 yards you can't beat it.

Thanks for making such a great video! I definitely love using mono over anything else because it’s cheap and works.

Not sure I have a favorite yet still learning about what lines to use thanks for your videos

Hey you are one of my favorite youtubers and you help me a lot with me being a new angler and this video helped a lot and my favorite type of line would be 15 lb braid I did all the steps and shared the video to my twitter account

I used to use 6lbs Strength Stren, I just started fishing baits, and I upgraded to 30lb braid today, I have my poles rigged, and can't wait to go fishing, love the vid!

Hey! I sure enjoy your videos. I am a 74 year old bass fisherman living in New Mexico. Born in Oregon and living there most of my life, I did most of my fishing with my dad on the ocean, fishing for silver and chinook salmon. Also because of my age I used mono line exclusively. I started throwing fluro a bit a couple of years ago and really liked it. I use spinning reels only. I tried braided line, but just didn't like it and there is not much heavy cover in our lakes. in New Mexico. Again, I really enjoy your posts, and my vote goes for fluorocarbon line. I also make my own soft plastic baits.

Thanks for the info - planning my strategy for evolving from medium spinning mono rods for northern and bass to tools better suited for the job. Matching line with other equipment is confusing to me, so specific recommendations like yours are very much appreciated!

I like using braid at my favorite pond because it holds up against snags.

Way to go LoJo, loved the content especially the information about different lines and how to use them . I use stren line , looking forward to your next video!!!!

Logo, think you nailed it with the breakdown of why you choose and use many different lines. There is no best line. Each situation dictates what type of line you're going to use. Watching you, your were in my head as far as when and why I choose all three types of lines and how I set them up for the specific styles of fishing I am doing. I have been a subscriber for a while and watching this video reminded me why. We need to wet a hook together. Appreciate the effort, even when sick, to help others with our great spor!

Love your vids lojo, never stop

From being pretty knew i'm trying all sorts of line and my favorite so far has been a high vis braid.

Been using braid and 12lb fluro some, but learning more. Thanks for another awesome video. I live in central Florida and trying to get more into the fishing life and your videos have been great in getting me more informed. Looking forward to binge watching some more!

I have been trying to compare these different lines myself and be able to share with my family but now I can just send them this video! Thanks for the in depth review and different applications. Good luck from Indiana !

I have used mono my whole life and have wondered if I need to use something else and this helped a lot

@@derrick9653 One thing that I can guaranty is the fact that thinner lines get you more strikes. I have often fished with others and I catch more fish with 4 lb test line than those using 6 lb test line. It's the same when using larger lines. I am basing this on the fish species I fish the most often.....brook trout and walleye. Where I live, the brook trout are often over 15 inches in length. Surprisingly, using light lines and light tackle reduces hang ups on the bottom. The light tackle leaves the bottom in a more vertical motion. Most of my brook trout fishing is with only a size 8 Gamakatsu octopus hook and the front third of a nightcrawler....nothing else. The very light line allows for long casts. There are no bass up here where I live. The lakes have very little weed growth. For pike, I use braid and a titanium leader.

Mono #1 Braid #2 I dont use floro because it doesn't last long and is expensive to replace. Once its over stretched it gets brittle and breaks on big fish. Mono will return after stretching to a point. Also its knot strength isnt as good as mono and braid. It might get you a few more bites but im not risking a lifetime fish breaking off

Stren...just about all the oldies used it. Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston, Shaw Grigsby. I remember watching them on Saturday mornings. Ever since than that's all i used. I still use it and trilene. I use mono, im usually on a hard budget (broke) that i have used the same line for 2 years. My robs and reels are older that you lojo. I rebuild and maintain them. So yeah my gear is old. Ill still take on any fisherman. I may get laughed at but they are my trusty robs and reels

I agree Lojo, I often use mono with crankbaits when I don’t bring my medium rods, if I only have MH I like the stretch

I thought I was the only one who fished mono with lipless cranks. Glad to see you recognize the benefits of it. I fish more clear water in Southern California though so I stick with 12lb izorline mono. Awesome video!

My favorite is braid to leader for almost everything. Specifically subline braid to seagaur abrazx. There are a couple things I use Berkeley big game for like topwater treble baits and large swimbaits. Then pure flourocarbon for some cranks and crystal clear water. Your videos are great bud and hearing others opinions can really open your eyes to knew ideas.

Suffix makes the best braid and mono in my experiences.

Braid is my favorite because you don’t have to change it as often as other lines and cause I fish near heavy cover

Great video lojo, very informative. I used mostly braid to begin with, but flouro is slowly becoming one of my favorite to use. I may try the mono for situations like you were talking about. Keep up the good content!

Awesome job with the overview of lines, Lojo. I've been confused about floro vs mono... and this certainly helps. Feel better bro!😎

Hope you feel better!

Wow! I appreciate the time and energy you spent making this video. Helped me a bunch.

Glad you made this kind of video! Buying my first baitcaster this coming up week and needed tips on lines to use... I think my go-to will be the Vanish line

Great vid!!!!

My favorite line is... "Is that a mirror in your pocket? Cause I can see myself in your pants.." getsem hooked everytime lol..

I use mainly braid. You can't beat the feeling and the direct contact with the lure. You feel every little tap. Though, when i fish hardbaits (jerkbaits, crankbaits, bladebaits) for perch I use monofilament because of the stretch. I will try fluoro for that purpose this year. For icefishing I also use mono, braid takes up water and therefor freezes which makes the braid break easily in cold temperatures.

I like 20 lb. Spider wire braid and about 15 lb. Mono but I have never used flurocarbon. Because of this videos explaining it I think I'm going to give it a try this summer. Love the vids. Lojo!

@@Mass_bigbaits its basically neutral, as in it doesnt float or sink, so can be used for topwater and for baits like jerkbaits and wont mess up either one. kind of right in the middle between flouro and mono.

I’m in SoCal. I’ve used mono for years but have recently switched to braided. And I use it all year long. Power Pro 20lbs for lake with my Shakespeare Cirrus 6’6 spinning reel and Power Pro 50lbs for pier/surf/ocean fishing with any 7’0 Spinning Reel. I love it.

For NY bass fishing, I’m pretty much a straight braid girl! I use Power Pro 30 lb for pretty much everything, with an occasional Berkeley Vanish 15 or 20 fluoro leader. I find that our cover here is light enough that I can use 30 braid in the heaviest cover we get and never get broken off. I just don’t use mono very much for bass because I don’t do much topwater at home. When I do use mono (on saltwater trips, usually) I throw a really heavy mono onto a 5000 or bigger spinning reel.

I usually use 30lb braid and then a leader of either Flouro or Mono depending on the technique. I think the reason you are having better luck with mono on the lipless crankbait is due to the MH fast rod you are using. If you drop down to a Medium Moderate rod then the rod is the shock absorber instead of the line.
