icecold Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I fish in current alot of time vertical jigging for walleyes or casting, I always have a problem the my line seems to be to thick and has the tendency to stay afloat and not let my jig go to bottom under casting conditons, what is a good strong line that is thin in diameter that might be a good choice for these conditons.

Deitz Dittrich Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 try a braid like power pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I agree with Deitz. Braid is thin for it's strength and non-bouyant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverrat56 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 If you don't like braided line, a florocarbon like Berkley Vanish Transition would also sink and has a less stretch than mono for better feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainbutter Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 +1 on braided line. I used it for the first time just about two years ago and never gone back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I use Power Pro in those situations too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernut Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Fish the river almost exclusively, and braid is my choice for vertical jigging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Head Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 When using braid, I would use a quality med-light rod with a fast tip. If you're using a stiffer rod, you may have trouble hooking fish. Just my $.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delmuts Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I use the 1/8 PP and love it! I have this on a 7' med action rod , and was having trouble straightening the hooks out on my jigs til i backed off the drag some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
