Re: Best Copolymer
P Line CXX is the toughest most abrasian resistant co poly I have used.

Sufix Tritanium Plus. It's what a bunch of the East Coast guys use for surf fishing. Abrasion resistance is amazing and the breaking strength in relation to diameter as well. I'll have to give McCoy a shot though, haven't tried it before.

Defier. Armilo for topwaters.
CXX is the only line I have ever taken the time to put back on the spool to return for refund. I didn't want the stuff taking up space in our land fill.

Cxx many like but for me it was just way to unmanageable to be useful

Re: Best Copolymer
I agree on the Cxx being unmanageable. It fished great the first trip, but it was a mess after that.
Re: Best Copolymer
Yozuri Hybrid works for me. It can get get a little unruly at times but some KVD L&L seems to help tame the beast. It's more sensitive and lower stretch than some other copoly's I have tried.

Spinning or casting? On a spinning reel it is useless. I had no issues on a casting reel without line conditioner.falcon wrote:Lol

Re: Best Copolymer
I use 8lb CXX for most of my cranking. In that diameter I have not had any problems with managebility. Very abrasion resistant and very strong. I fish mainly rocky areas.bassinmaumee wrote:Thinking about using 8 lb cxx for my river smallys setup this year. Be towing 1/8oz tube small bomber square a and big o type of baits.

Re: Best Copolymer
I can totally see how CXX would be a pain on a spinning rig as far a manageability. I use 25# straight on a Lexa 300 w/no problems. All the rest of my CXX useage is as leader material.

Re: Best Copolymer
How is the stretch and memory on CXX compared to Silver Thread Excaliber and Mccoy?

Re: Best Copolymer
I find that CXX is more abrasion resistant than Excalibur and also seems to have less stretch. However the Excalibur is far more manageable and has less memory. I prefer the Excalibur on spinning reels. No experience with McCoys.marvinlee718 wrote:How is the stretch and memory on CXX compared to Silver Thread Excaliber and Mccoy?

I'd like to know what the diameter of the CXX 8lb actually is... without knowing the actual diameters, line comparisons are meaningless.

Re: Best Copolymer
CXX 8lb is 0.3mm. This is equivalent to a lot of other 10 and 12 lb lines. For instance CX Premium 12lb is 0.29mm and Gamma Copolymer 10lb is also 0.29mm.OkobojiEagle wrote:Bassmar wrote:I use 8lb CXX for most of my cranking.
