[quote fishfinder401]i was going to be filling my new abu revo s up with some line and wanted input as to whether i should put braided line on and if i do, what pound
i will be using for small to medium size swimbaits, flipping and pitching and will eb on a 7'6 abu vendetta MH rod
if i don't get the braid, (which would be either suffix performance or suffix performance fuse) i would be using 12lb mono
thanks for any help anyone can give me[/quote]
I spend about 30 hours per week fishing bass and I have a lot of extra spools for my spinning reels and a lot of ever baitcast reels for the simple reason of not getting too focused on one line. You really need to look at what baits you are going to be using as well as what kind of structure you are going to be fishing.
With that said, when I fish braid I usually use a pretty high test. I've been using Berk Tracerbraid in the 30# range and when I am fishing a lot of heavy cover I step up to around 50#. When you're fishing in cover line tends not to matter quite as much so I go with something really stout to make sure I can get the lunkers through the weeds.
I really good setup that has been working for me is 30# braid with a flurocarbon leader of about 36" connected with an inline swivel.
