1slipperyfish Posted October 30, 2005 Report Posted October 30, 2005 sorry to bother you again but, was fishing yesterday evening, caugh two carp one 4lb andone 7lb and i stayed till after dark when i caught one and had the fight of my life. it ended up in stalemate about 8 feet out, so i tried to bully it in and it broke my 8lb mono hookline:eek: i thought you could land a shark on 8lb. which leads me to what mainline do you use? thanks in advance Quote
mick1396 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Posted October 30, 2005 I use 12 lb Krystonite,but would go heavier if there were snags to worry about. Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Plenty of threads on here on Mainline if you have a search. I use Daiwa Sensor in 15lb in Summer and 12lb in winter. Never had a problem with it, but see what other people say as well Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 with nick on this 1 sensor all the way. Quote
1slipperyfish Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Posted October 31, 2005 do you use sensor for your hookline as well? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 sorry missread the thread i use sensor as my mainline, if i use a mono hooklink i use fox 12lb warrior. i wouldnt use a hooklink as low as 8lb when carping. Quote
1slipperyfish Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Posted October 31, 2005 so do you use mono or braid? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 sometimes mono but most of the time a coated braid such as steath skin or striptease. Quote
