hi all just wondering what mainline do you use and why..cheers

Ian Gemson · Apr 4, 2009

Hi

I use 12lb Pro clear for my long range fishing in open snag free waters because it has a low .29mm diameter, it sinks like a stone it als knots well and is very reliable.

For my winter fishing I use 15lbP-line floroucarbon line because it sinks well and is reliebale.

I use Bass Pro fluro blue in 12lb and I use it because it does everything I want it to do

AVIT06 · Apr 4, 2009

cheers guys,ian is the pro clear made by terry eustace gold label tackle ?? as im after a good line that sinks well.you only use 12lb main line??im used to using at least 15lb but i think i'll give 12lb a go,i intend to fish the linear,saint johns with at least a3oz lead casting over 100yds will the 12lb line be strong enough?? cheers m8

Nash Bullet in 12lb, It's the best. A shock leadersould be used at long range casting so the 12lb will be fine..

Nash Bullet is second best !

Yes it is Terry Eustace. For my long range set up I use 13' 3.5 Tc Greys Platimums with Diawa Basia big pits. A long ESP 45 Sonic braid shock leader tied with a double grinner knot to 12lb Pro clear. I am currently getting about 160 yards with a baited rig and PVA attraction.

Rig Looks like this

AVIT06 · Apr 5, 2009

thanks for the reply guys..lol cakey...thanks for the info ian..looks a nice set up..never used a shock leader,will have to have a lookat 1in tackle shop.again thx all

AVIT06 · Apr 5, 2009

ian is your hook link running on the leader ? and what make is that lead ? cheers m8

Ian Gemson · Apr 5, 2009

The picture shows a ESP leadcore 45lb with two Solar leadcore beads holding a Gardner Kwik lok swivel

Use a Korda anti tangle sleev up the hook length to stop the hook lenght from coming off the Kwik link

This is the shock leader

Hi,

Last season I switched to Shimano Technicum - very abrasion-resistant and a lot less stretch than most other mono lines.

I think there are a couple of reviews here on FM.

Ian Gemson · Apr 5, 2009

Hi peter is the Shimano Technium the one that retails at £38.00 a bulkspool ?.
