BEST Line for Baitcasters? Spinning Reels? *MADE EASY*

[@johnwheeler3417]

This man has quickly become one of my favorites

[@DEBOSFishing]

Appreciate that a lot man!

[@FishinwithGRAMPS]

Love Debo's approach, flat tells you he doesn't know everything, but will share everything he knows.

[@billsutorius2753]

Sooo True DEBO'S A GREAT TEACHER

[@shawnbeck2303]

Suffix 832 in Moss Green. 30 pound braid on both Spinning and Baitcaster reel's. Smooth casting, Tough, Color stays for a long time. Your Largemouth PB wont get away. Bang for your Buck! Shawn.

[@1010mero]

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

[@samuelwarden6285]

I use a 20 lb braid which is the same size as 8 lb mono and put an 8 or 10 lb leader on my spinning combos . I use 15 lb on all my baitcasters except my frogin rod. I put 50 lb braid on it. I recommend KVD Line and Lure spray for mono and flouro it really helps out a lot especially if you put it on the night before you go fishing. 👍👊

[@nickdigrino4423]

Good video. Excellent point. Actual research has shown that fluoro is less abrasion resistant than mono. I have found that fluoro is especially difficult to manage in cold water. And, unlike mono, the stretch you get in fluoro actually permanently damages the line (weakening it). It is not as elastic - the taffy effect. Just a few thoughts and observations. Appreciate your channel.

[@blaineschlagetter8983]

Your mention of the line, Rod, lure series sounds like a great idea. While fishing can be as simple as a cane pole, line, hook and bobber, it can also quite specific and detailed. I’m a lifelong learner and you’ve been quite helpful to both me and my son. We’d appreciate that series of videos. 👍🏻😁 Thanks, Mr. Debo!

[@Ariahhi]

Debo is dropping knowledge Bombs 💥!!! Love it brother, great video as always!

[@chrisgo9330]

Thanks for the info .. I been out of the fishing game for close to 35 years and just now getting back to it..and I have no idea what I'm doing if its not a worm and bobber...but your videos are helping me to get it figured out. Keep up the good work.

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

Im glad you made this video because I am going to start learning line soon after i master baits for all four seasons

[@Mr.RightPlace_RightTime111]

DEBOS FISHING is my favorite fishing channel, there is just somthing about the way he explains things, like getting advice from a buddy or somthing. Idk..I Guess the "Blue Collar" type of guy..

[@Larry77777]

Hey Debo: great insights; you are obviously enthusiastic and a good teacher. One booboo you made was at 12:50 when you compared line diameters. Doesn't matter; we get the point: for any given strength, braid has much smaller diameter than other lines of same strength.

[@shawnbeck2303]

All Power Pro does is knot up on the reel. Loses color really fast. Casts like crap! Always binds up on the spool. Constantly fixing back lashes with Power Pro braid. Suffix 832 fixed all these issues. Give it a try. Comes in 300 yard spools too. Shawn.

[@danielbaker889]

Getting ready for pre-spawn. Debo is helping me

[@mrfunnyguy3934]

How does he know everything I need every time I’m thinking it

[@jfisher164]

I literally was about to comment the same thing 😂

[@DustinFox.]

I just watched your older best line video last night, good timing 🍻👍🏻

[@lawdawg6245]

Really needed this. Didn’t know there were any differences. Thanks man!

[@ericmorton9567]

Another fire video brother hard to find too many other creators that are so easy to watch

[@aldeureaux5184]

I saw someone checking the difference in stretch between mono and fluorocarbon, and surprisingly there were only about 2 inches difference.

[@jeffreysmith5143]

I’m switching back to monofilament after use my braided line for several years. I guess I’m still old school in the long run.

[@mikeimbriani5070]

Well I WAS watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives but then I got a Debo notification so here I am....

[@peadookie]

Worth it. DD&D has been to my town. Show made food seem amazing. Reality was food was garbage. This video is the opposite :)

[@michealkackmeister3692]

Thanks for lining things up for us. Lol. Setting us straight and hooking up some knowledge. Good video Debo.

[@yo-bass-cat4027]

My father gave me 30-50 lb braid in my first bait caster and it was genius. Strong enough to get most lures unstuck and casts great.

[@johlynpoissant7597]

I recently got a 7ft medium moderate Cranking rod And I paired it with an Abu Garcia Revo X. Right now I have some 12lb mono on it It's my first cranking setup So I have high hopes to try it This spring. If you have any advice I'm open to hear it You're my favorite Fishing channel And your advice has helped me catch many fish Look forward to seeing more videos!

[@MrScrofulous]

Funny, I have that rod/reel combo in my cart right now, deciding what weight line to buy. I may be going up north into barramundi country, so I'm thinking 30lb braid and 20lb floor leader.

[@brendanschmidt7791]

Is it just me or is Debos thumbnail pictures really satisfying

[@ericmorton9567]

It’s like you can tell there his without seeing the name .... I hope he realizes how easy and fun he is to watch .... watch so many others and get bored in the first 2 min I’ve watched some of his multiple times.... just because

[@timperry6095]

@@ericmorton9567 It always feels like Debo is talking to us rather than talking at us if that makes sense. Great explanations with minimal ego.

[@williamsolly870]

Perfect timing DEBO! just got my birthday present (Curado K and st croix Mojo bass rod) on the fence between fluoride and braid

[@williamsolly870]

Going with fluoro as this’ll be my spinner bait/ mid-water column rod

[@pacman_17]

I love the new layout. Looks like you're on a fishing throne.

[@SD-wo2gx]

I should have watched this before I put line on my new baitcaster this morning. Just strung up fluoro and then tied a walking bait on it, woops..gonna change it out for a square bill before fishing tm morning. Fantastic video as always Mr. Debo!

[@OneOfTheMob]

I like the knowledge videos like this. I'd like more of those rod-reel-line videos too.

[@ethangrover5382]

Hey DEBO I'd love to see that series come back, it would definitely help me a ton.

[@nathandenardis3999]

These videos are why I think you are the best fishing channel out there. Keep up the great content as always!

[@jooky5]

Braid all the way! Powerpro or 832. I’ll use a copolymer leader if I’m fishing gin clear water or thick mono leader for top water

[@pacman_17]

Very difficult topic but Debo nailed it. This is like an ultimate guide to fishing line. I agree 99% with Debo. But I use braid to leader for everything.

[@ethangreyling6880]

Thanks man. I was wondering about what line to use for my first baitcaster and you got me sold on fluorocarbon

[@dmillz23]

Id recommend braid for first timer

[@adamlaxton8975]

If you’re sold on flourocarbon I would highly highly recommend the floroclear he mentioned in the video... it has the invisibility, abrasion resistance and low stretch without the memory issues and higher cost 👍🏼

[@Miguel_Flores419]

Class is in session and Professor Debo schooling us. As a novice, I appreciate the simplicity and thorough explanation of your content! Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@oregonuplands8687]

Video on your favorite knots would be cool to watch.

Great breakdown! You lucked out with Mr. Stubbs super chill dog!

[@carlgwizdala6430]

Good evening Mr. Debo's Fishing, I am TRUELY IMPRESSED by your Knowledge of the different types of Fishing lines and their applications my Friend! I have been hesiatant of using braided lines in the past due to there abillity to cut into the guides of the rods I'd be using. Thank you for debunking this issue and giving me a senseof reassurance when joining to a fluorcarbon or mono leader. 🙂I Enjoy ALL of your video's my Fishing Friend! LOL! Keep a Tight Line and May God Bless you and Your Familiy! Sincerely, Mr. Carl J. Gwizdala aka "Desperado." LOL!

[@cgenerun4237]

For tying knots, Trilene XL is my favorite.

[@Ariahhi]

I use 12Ib fluorocarbon, Pline, floro clear is awsome!!!

[@busteroaks402]

I’m with you on most of those points Debo. I usually use mono now only for trolling, floro for leaders, and switching everything to braid, baitcasters or spinners

[@Casting_not_catching]

I have one reel with straight flouro for cranking and braid to a leader for everything else. I have done braid to a short mono leader for walking baits. I may start running more flouro after this though

[@rodroyal1779]

Great job of explaining the differences. You saved a lot of guys a lot of money. Experimenting is a great learning tool but line is expensive. Thanks 👍

[@kameronmayes7761]

It's funny that u uploaded this vid because I just got my first casting combo the other day. Thx for the tips.

[@justink2615]

That's a good dog. And thanks for this video. I was going to buy some new line in the next few weeks and wasnt sure what I should get. This cleared it all up for me. Thanks Debo.

[@kevinhenderson7980]

Line is something in fishing that there are a few “rules” to like braid for frogging or punching, or mono for top water and cranks. Other than that it is to each his own. Personally, I don’t have any frogging water near me and I am currently boatless, I use only mono. 4-8 lb on spinning, and 12 lb on all my casting rods. I have tried straight florocarbon and didn’t like it. I might try the braid to floro leader on spinning rods and see if it helps detect more bites on finesse baits. Thanks for the tips Debo.

[@anthonyreeder8283]

Awesome video man love it! Love the Hook Line and Rod series and I’m now going to rewatch them!!!

[@geezus1201]

Debo you are my info man to a fishing question. You are very knowledgeable.

[@buzzworth2396]

Talking about line today. Good subject. As you know,.... I wasn't a braided line fan at all. Now, that's changed. The first observation...... your knot!!!! Got to have a good knot. I came up with a variation of the FG knot. But what really does matter more is the fact that the knot you use for your leader needs to flow through the eyelets of the guides on the rod not knock or stick during a cast. That can cause you to lose insulators from your guides. It'll also cost you a big fish. So knots are important. Mono vs Fluorocarbon....... really have to agree with you on it. Mono for topwater is a must. Fluorocarbon has virtually no stretch at all. Hooksets will give on mono but not with Fluorocarbon. Fluorocarbon does tend to have knot issues also so you have to come up with a good knot for sure. Good tutorial 👊👊. Not a beginner by no means but I'm always learning something in this sport nearly everytime I go. Thank you Debo

[@ramseytarazi2498]

What’s up deboooo I immediately click when I get a notification for one of your vids😁

[@staceymiller4765]

As a new guy to using a bait caster, I was told or advised to use braid 20-60 lbs. my pole is 7’9” heavy fast. My reel is a 6.4 abu Garcia low pro. I managed to back lash just loading up the reel itself.

[@cangel0615]

Awesome video man, as always. Really important stuff to know when you want to get better. Thanks Debo the Sensei

[@rgdayo]

Perfect information as I'm thinking about refreshing line for spring

[@johnmango6056]

i used 20lb braid to a 12lb trilene xl clear leader so much last year. it was my go to unless thw water was super clear.

[@gregstabryla9945]

Great j breaking down the differences. What and when. Doing the braid to fluro this year.

[@krustysurfer]

Thank you for sharing your observations with us Debo much appreciated

[@johnnyblaze2620]

Braid to leader here. I suggest learning an FG knot. I did a couple years ago and never looked back. Thank's Debo 👍

[@davewashburn8930]

Awesome info Debo, there are so many different knots you can use. Would be cool to see different knots for different applications. Like tying on leaders etc. 👊

[@buddymc]

I took your advice earlier on using braid on spinning reels. Great advice. Thanks.

[@leannesmith3660]

I have to save this vid so I can refer back to it in the spring. I am going to buy one more bait caster and one more spinning combo. This will help me when I decide to put line on them. Top notch information. 😉

Hi DEBO, Great job !!! I really needed this right now. Great Help. You are the best.

[@danluther1741]

LUV UR VIDS!! OK, yea, I've posted a similar comment elsewhere but I love to teach & share WHAT WORKS from decades of doin it. My gear, forever, has been quality but basic Baitcasters (NEVER over 100 bux) (Abu's, Diawa's, Shimano's etc...) 5'6" med/heavy rods (Ugly sticks etc...) And ALWAYS mono! Actually, ALWAYS 14 lb. mono. Thousands of Bass. Countless bigguns over 5 lbs. And a 14.5 lb lunker caught using a "secret" worm technique. (And many FAT Catfish & a 5'7" Carp that I had to lay on the bank to drag in.) Mono has simply been the most versatile line for me. Texaa riggin to top water where I bend the bill of a black Jitterbug with pliers a certain way to get a better "chug" sound for night fishin. (Nothing more fun!!) Yea, times & tackle have changed over the years (you guys call a 7 or 8 foot stick a "fishin pole!") But don't discount what made Bill Dance & Roland Martin MILLIONAIRES back in the day!! Lastly... You're bank fishing with heavy brush & overhead tree branches. Or, you see fairly close "hidey places" in the water. What do you want? A 7 or 8 foot stick? Or a precise 5'6" maneuverable FISHIN pole?? 'Nuff said!! Tight lines guys!!

[@jimlake22]

I'm still fairly new to your channel....and to fishing in general. I'd love to see you start up again with the 'hook, line, rod & reel' you mentioned for each type of fishing you do. I find your channel one of the very best out there for newbies such as myself. Thanx so much!

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm going to do one this week! Thanks so much for watching +

Agree with braid if u get a backlash gota find the loop learned that from one of your old videos

[@tims_always_fishingt5726]

The greatest teacher for feeshing!!

[@mattharvey968]

cool to see Mr STUBBS!! another very helpful video DEBO!! i use that trilene xl mono 12lb, the berkley big game 20lb( for catfishing) , berkley vanish 12lb fluoro, and powerproV2 30lb braid.

[@legionssb]

Berkley vanish is an awesome budget fluoro for u new guys! It’s slightly more expensive than red label but it casts better and doesn’t feel like heavy gauge wire... red label is insanely wiry in the stronger lines like 17-20+ Ibs

[@aldeureaux5184]

I have had bad luck with Vanish. Like it was brittle or something. Also, like working with wire. I use fluoro mainly as a leader material now. I don’t know if it makes that much difference to the average fisherman. Maybe it does but right now I am not convinced. To pros it might.

[@legionssb]

@@aldeureaux5184 I think it depends on the batch, DEBO loves red label, but it’s like casting actual wire for me...

[@brucepreston3927]

The Vanish works good if you can ever get all the twist out of it! I used to get in the boat and run a 100yrds of Vanish off the spool into the water, then cut it off and spool it up from the water, its the only way I could get it straight! I just use Seaguar Invizx now, it costs more but its worth it...

[@ajkriha]

Red makes a great tip up leader for pike for tip ups. Just sayin'

[@legionssb]

@@aldeureaux5184 lol somehow the one time I had to break off 17 Ib vanish it was awful, I didn’t have a knife or scissors so I pulled it around a tree. That stuff sounded like a gunshot when it finally broke. It does get wiry after you use it for a while.

[@dougreidy8897]

Very helpful, need to start the video over and take notes!!

[@chrismash1792]

Thanks for the tips. I would like to see more videos like this.

[@garrettmccoy6863]

Thanks, Debo! Great info as always...still new to it all so the more I hear, hopefully the better my game will become!

[@treverwagner]

Thanks again for another solid video. I like the pairing videos were you break down what you throw and the equipment you would use. Keep up the great work...I am looking forward to the next live stream!

[@pnwbasscandy4066]

Great video man! No matter a beginner or pro some awesome info!

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

Great video as always. I have started using Zebcos Cajun Red mono. Its pretty cheap and I just love it.. I started using baitcasters with braid before mono. My advice for that is things called placards. They are basically plastic toothpicks. They have them in packs of hundreds at dollar stores. It makes picking out backlash much easier. When you mention braid digging in...absolutely do not try to force a backlash stop with ant force! It will definitely bury in and become almost impossible to fix. I've started using mono on one now and its basically learn the baitcaster all over again. Just don't be afraid folks. Backlash and snags are a big part of our hobby. If course the random person that sees you snag that tree will cut a joke but its nothing to be embarrassed about lol

[@BackwardsNelsons]

Can u PLEASE try some Berkeley big game this summer!? I love the stuff

[@aldeureaux5184]

I have some of that. Tough but hard to work with.

[@darthlunchbox5337]

if you do decide to pick up the hook rod line series again, i would like to hear about chatterbaits. I have seen some people say a moderate action to fast action, and a medium all the way up to heavy rod suggested. I plan on getting confidence with the chatterbait this year and anything would help. thank you

[@davidbendlin9321]

Very well done, Debo...great information. One thing I've come across using braid from the bank, is getting hung and having to break it off. First off, it gets difficult to even break 50 or 65 lb braid, and then when you do, you might break it nearer your rod than the bait and you end up with 30 or 40 yards of line out there in the water for someone or something to get snagged in. I always worry about that, so I end up not using braid from the bank. In a boat, at least you can get over top your lure to break off, or use a lure retriever.

[@jondurand12]

The one thing about fishing a Buzzbait on floro is that you can’t fish the Buzzbait as slow as you can with braid. That’s they only reason I throw it on braid.

[@Gstar5150]

I've used the FG knot and tie super long leaders on braid and don't get that many wind knots, usually just when I'm hitting a pylon or something or casting into heavy wind.

[@LMo9948]

Great content, man! Thanks for explaining the best-practices from your experience. Your method of teaching is easy to understand and not overwhelming.

[@APPupied]

Easy to understand. Quick to information. Everything I needed to know. Thanks again man!

[@poststalone1496]

The answer is it’s technique specific and it’s big reason why pros have 10-20 rods set up on the boat. Personally I’m braid to leader. At most I bring 4 rods and I stay on a budget.

[@reelfishing002]

I’m braid line all the way , but my area is mostly stain water so I can get away with that . Plus I have seen where the line suddenly stop in mid flight and yes I have snap off some lures , especially smaller pound braid . (That’s where a mono or flora leader comes in handy to be the shock absorber ) Maybe next topic is : for beginner , should you get a reel first and try to pair that up with a rod , OR pick up a rod first and try to find a reel to pair that up with .

[@thomac131]

As a new guy, I’d love to see a video on a great all around rod. I’m a bank guy and have a spinning rod but want an all around baitcaster to take its place for as much as possible. I love the slx xt but can’t decide on a rod around $100-$130 to pair it with for a do everything for the first 12-24 months

[@tylerwebster4794]

Dude my girlfriend and I were just talking today about how we wanted to string our rods for the coming season. May try mono for walking baits now, thanks!

[@petefasel]

Thanks man. Would be good to hear why you choose braid to leader. What is the benefit of the leader.

[@knottygrains5431]

Great video Debo. Makes me wanna re-spool all my reels.

[@telemarkmann6870]

Debo, Mr. Stubbs is a classy dude. Lucky dog to get adopted by your family. Seems like the right dog for the family. You did not touch upon co-poly lines. I have become a big fan this past year. I find most Fluoro too stiff, like using wire. The co-poly is the best of both worlds.

[@jacobdeitering8680]

One of THE biggest tackle improvements and changes I’ve ever made was going braid to fluorocarbon leader on spinning gear and bottom contact baitcaster setups. Straight fluorocarbon on baitcasters for moving baits. The braid is very easy to cast from spinning gear and it lasts forever. Honestly the only use for monofilament I see is topwater, and only as a leader. Full spool of monofilament you are asking for trouble.

[@jamesdishman3005]

Funny Debo you’re a fluorocarbon purest like I’m a braid purest I just change the leader just have to laugh we all have our way keep up the GREAT JOB!!! Jim from Norfolk, Ne.

[@charlesburgos4313]
