What linedo most prefer to use when inshore fishing for Specs, Reds, Flounder etc.? Is there a better choice of line (and lb.)to spool on a reel between braid ormono? And where would floro come into play? Just trying to learn this inshore gig.Last weekend I fished in the OB area, Terry Cove, Perd. Pass, Ono, and Innerarity. Not much luck, some trash fish and one keeper flounder. I'm new to this forum and looks like quite a fewinshore guys hangout here. Any input would be welcomed, Thanks.

i use 20# berkley fire-line crystal for braid and i like 12# cajun red for mono. i know i will be slammed for that one:looser

8lb suffix. Or if you are fishing heavy structure for redfish 12lb suffix or 10lb powerpro/suffix braid.

Are you fishing the braid line straight to your hook or should i be using aleader? Didnt know if braid was more visible than floro or mono leader.

I use 8# ande back country. If you use braid you must tie on a leader, doesn't have to be fluoro.Learn to tie a uni to uni and you can attach mono to braid.

I use 10# power pro braid inshore. use the uni-uni knot to tie on an 18-24 inchflorocarbon leader.

8# Ande penn 4400ss, 12# Ande penn 4500ss. I bring both rods- trying different lures, weight, retrieve, etc...

i agree! 8lb sufix is the strongest line (in it's class.... duh) that i've ever used, if i get hung up, i usually bend the hooks out of the lure before the line breaks.... great stuff!:bowdown

i have 12lb ande on a us reel and 20lb power pro braid on a Penn slammer 360.

also guys power pro 20lb is the same diameter a 6lb mono so if your reel can hold 6 you can hold 20lb power pro. i also have a penn 440ssg with 12 lb sufix mono on it.

but power pro is alot more responsive and you can feel every little nibble.

power pro is a little expensive though.

10 or 20 lb is what i use or if you like mono go with any type of sufix or ande those are my personal faveorites

IF you fish 20lb pp on a rod rated for 6lb line,there's a much much higher chance the rod will break
