line for trinidad

[grizkid]

just wondering what type of line you fellow musky fisherman are spooling up on your trinidads I just picked up a 16n and am wondering what to spool up with I use 100# stealth on all my other reels but was told not a good option for the trinidad since it doesn't really stay round. I also want to get it as full as possible as it will only be used for burning blades don't have any other use for it.

since nobody has responded - i throw a saltist, tried some other lines on it last year but i'm going back to power pro this year for what that's worth

Power Pro if fine if you don't mind not being able to hear yourself think. You want either Sufix or Cortland for the best results.

Huh? What does that mean? I'm not following you...

It's super loud coming through the line eyes.

I haven't had a problem with it. I know some rods produce more noise than others with certain lines...

I would definitely agree with the annoying whine that comes with using this line. Glad to hear someone else thinks so too.

I love Cortland! Been trying new lines on one or two rods each year, and I keep coming back to Cortland.

I also became a fan of the Suffix this past season.

Don't fill the Trinidad all the way. You don't need it, and filling it all the way will make the lack of a levelwind more of an issue.

I have used Cortland Masterbraid on mine and it works great!!!

[grizkid]

thanks for the replies guys gonna have to check out the cortland guess i'll have to take a trip to thore bros. Haven't been in the new store yet and sounds like a good reason to go. I still think I'm gonna start with it full and see how it works otherwise i might as well just throw my 700TE.

power pro I hated other lines on my trinidad Yes it may be louder but doesnt backlash as much on the trinidad

I've done the same and have come to the same conclusions...

Cortland Bronzeback Masterbraid in 80# is the winner, and I do like the Sufix 65# on my Curado 300s and Luna 253s. P Pro 30# is fine on the bass stuff (Sufix too for that matter), but Cortland gets the nod on the muskie reels.

i would suggest using 100 lb test for starters

i have used tufline xp and suffix with good success
