salmonquest Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've been using cabela's 17# flourocarbon for tying my leaders. I am out and need to buy some new line. I've had some mixed results with the Cabela's. I was wondering what type of line you all use and what lb test for your leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdB Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 50# Ande on leaders for flies, 20# Ande on riggers and for sliders, 30# power pro and wire on the divers. I think Ande is the best line and value for the price for big water fishing. Get a big spool. I'll use 6# Seagar flourocarbon for steelhead in the rivers but I don't think flourocarbon is really needed on the big lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 20# P-line for my rigger rods. I run this straight and do not have trouble getting fish and its strong line. I have used many different types of line but everyone has their fav. line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tltorrice Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I am with EdB. I use 50# Ande on flies and 20# on downriggers and other leaders. I run p-line on my divers. I have used flurocarbon in the rivers when fly fishing for steelhead and found it to be soft and breaks a lot. I loose a lot of flies. I have better success when I just run Maxima and go with a lighter line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulywood Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Ditto on the Ande. 17# on riggers and 50# for fly leaders and dipsey leaders. I lost 2 flasher/fly setups last year when my 25# leader broke. I figure the fish are focused on the flasher and fly, they won't be scared of a little line.
