Musky Lines

Post by **TrollingThunder** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 9:03 pm

Just looking for some personal preferences of all the musky-heads. Last season I used Power Pro will great success, and I've hear alot of praise from other people about it, what do you guys use/recommend? Western Filament, SpiderWire Ultracast Invisibraid, Musky Master...etc? I doubt I'll be switching, but its good to know what other people else use, and waste some time until the ice is gone haha

I am a TUff Line guy. I find backlashses arent nearl as bad with it and get more seasons out of it. Also I have had 80# Powerpro break on me, if it fails once I wont touch it again.

I am sure you will hear from both sides of the fence so it really comes down to personal preference.

Last year I ran wire one rod and PP on the other....for some reason every fish came on the wire setup....

I've been using power pro on 4 rods for the last 5 yrs and have had no failures, no brake offs, no issues.

Crap will happen with each line at certain times but that does not mean it's to be expected.

It's only a matter of preference, don't let opinions sway you.

Try a couple and make up your own mind.

80 lb braided you can't go wrong.

I used Tuff XP 80Lb last year and will use the same this season. I was able to land my PB of 54"x24" with that line and as mentioned by Relic, the backlash is minimal...

Tufline XP in 80 and 100 lb test.

good to hear about tuff line

i used spider wire braid for years and it is excellent

i use power pro 100 lb on two rods. the reason i went to 100 lb (over 80) is to avoid any chance of the line burying into the reel when setting the hook.

and i never have snarls

the great thing about braid is you can run it for years. if it's getting a bit worn just reverse it on your reel ... presto brand new line

Power Pro or Tuff Line in 80 lbs, I find Musky Master retains too much water.

After using Power pro for years without ever having a problem, I made the mistake of trying tuff line + and I've been getting way too any backlashes. I'm going back to PP as soon as I can get rid of the rest of my 2500 yrd spool of 80# test.
