Hello, new to this Forum.

Getting back into the Bass Club and fishing Tournaments. In the past I have used Trilene this time I am looking at P-Line products can any one tell me how they liked or disliked there fishing line.

[screwballl]

I primarily use Pline CX and CXX myself. I have heard good things about the fluoro but have not used it myself

[islandbass]

They make good lines. I have used CX Premium and CXX on occassion and Evo too. One thing to note. If memory bothers the living dickens out of you, the these Pline products will not be for you. Memory up the yin yang.

[Bassinkorea]

I have only used the P-Line Fluorocarbon which is a 100% fluoro. I use it in 6, 8, 10 and 12lb for various techniques and I love it. Not much line memory, great knot and abrasion strength, and I've had some a reel for over 2 seasons and it's still going strong.

[screwballl]

I have found line memory an issue once you hit around 15 lb CX/CXX but below that there is little to none.

Same here , I tried it a while back and I thought it was just too stiff. I couldn't see any advantage over Big Game and it cost a lot more.

[screwballl]

What big game line are you using?
I have a $25 BPS gift card burning a hole in my pocket and figure it never hurts to have some extra line handy.

Screwball you can't go wrong with the any of the biggame line.  For the money it cant be beat imho.  We always keep a spool of 15 pound in the boat and use for anythign from leaders for the c-rig to having to respool a reel on the fly.  (For those monster bird's nest that always happen at a horrible time)

[netmansc]

Woops I forgot what this thread was about.  I have been using the CXX 20 for the last two years for my T-rig and jigs  and havent had any problems with other than the memory issue already stated.  For 100% flouro I switched to the Seaguar Red label this year on my cranks and for just a dollar more I would have to suggest it over the P-Line.

[Chuck Tawney]

I love the P-line products. I use the CX premium on most of my spinning outfits, and Im a diehard with the Flouroclear. That stuff is amazing. Strong, sensitive, good knot strength, and fairly abrasion proven. I have various spools, from 8 to 20lb in both types, and recommend it to everyone.

Screwball, I use 12lb. green for crankbaits and 15lb. clear for just about everything else.

I use alot of CXX, Less stretch and way tougher than big game of the same diameter.  12lb cxx will fish HEAVY cover and will straighten out 4/0 mustad spinnerbait hooks even on an old knot.  I used to be a Big game fan for mono But all I use is Pline now.

[OCBassman]

I spooled up some 8lb cxx and took it rite back off after one trip. Worst line I ever used. Way to much memory it was so bad it would wrap around my rod tip.

[screwballl]

Must have gotten and old, overheated or misspooled setup...

I have never seen any major or out of control memory from CX or CXX until it gets 20 lbs or higher. Even 15 lb can be hit and miss but usually works decent on bait casters, and 12 lb and lower for spinning reels.

[BIG PAPA]

Trey and I both use a lot of the P-line flouro clear!!!

Great line with little memory and good strength, Trey caught the 10 lb fish on 15 lb. Flouro clear and it made a hard run around a tree scared me to death but the line held just fine

I agree.   I have been usinig it for 3-4 yrs now and use 12 and 15 lb and have never had any problems like this.  With that said, It does appear to have memory, more so than cheaper lines, But it is normally very manageable and if you can get your mind past that it is the toughest line on the market.  Breaking fish off just doesn't happen after I started using Pline cxx and I fish some nasty brush. 

[rgroadglide]

I have been using big game for years and love it, decided to try some p line in 15lb on one of my bait casters for steelhead, it has a lot of memory. I had to tie it to the fence and stretch it to relieve some of the memory from the spool. It is tough. No break offs so far.

[screwballl]

Agreed... on my last trip, I bent the hook on the same lipless crank at least 3-4 times using the 12 lb Pline CX fishing it around stumps and sunken christmas trees. Any other line, it would snap the line and I would be out that lure and not just a bent treble.

[Rebbasser]

I switched to P-Line Floroclear a few years back and never looked back.  I tried a lot of lines, and i mean a LOT.  Floroclear is by far the best line I have used.  I use it for everything except braid applications and topwater.  Baitcasters and spinning gear.  Tough, invisible under water and handles like a dream. 

[gillrod2728]

I use 10lb CXX clear and love it very very strong line and the FluroCarbon 10 and 12 pound on spinning love it as well inless its cold out then it kinda makes me mad and im talking cold thou 30 degrees above 40 and its fine

[Stump bumper]

I use the 8lb Flouroclear alot and have straighted hooks and split rings fighting 20 to 30lb stripers. I also use the 12lb cxx for flipping and spinnerbaits and have been acused of using 20lb line by my fishing partner after hauling in trees and busting branches. I have very little memory problems, I can't stand regular flourocarbon made by anybody I have tried but P Line is my go to line. I have not tried the CX, but will soon.

I would not put this anywhere close to big game since it is much thinner, stonger, and limper. It is half the price of Triliene 100% and handles better and stronger IMO.

I have 8lb on a spinning rod that has been there for 3 months and I am going out again this morning for stripers on stickbaits.
I have upgraded my split rings and put on bigger and heaver hooks and snaps, but will be using the same line. If I pull out the baitcasters they have 12lb CXX and the Size 4 Triple grip Mustad hooks might not hold up.

[Ray Emory]

I use to use nothing but P-line but the kicker is it does carry alot of memory and shorten your casts lengths a bit. I will say its one of the strongest lines I have ever fished thats for sure but as with just about any line it does have it good points and bad points.
