Re: Best fishing line for the specific techniques
I think Shooter FC Sniper is significantly nicer than Sniper. Much more limp and smooth than Sniper or Shooter. I have been fishing rocks with 8 pound Shooter Sniper Metan BFS, and it is holding up very very well. Only negative I see with it, is that it is thicker than Sniper or Shooter.

Re: Best fishing line for the specific techniques
I must say I have only used Sunline products as my attention was on the rods and reels to get. I haven't ever heard of Shooter FC Sniper but I'm game to give it a try. Same can be said for Megabass Dragon Call and the Toray range.
Please let me know your experiences with these lines.

Re: Best fishing line for the specific techniques
I have tried Toray SuperHard Strong (treble hook fluorocarbon) and it was very nice, but I would just buy Shooter FC Sniper
Re: Best fishing line for the specific techniques
I would try some Tatsu on your drop shot outfit. I switched from Sniper to Tatsu on my spinning reels 2 seasons ago. It handles very well on spinning reels.

shooter and sniper fc are 2 different lines, there is no shooter sniper fc.IAY wrote:I think Shooter FC Sniper is significantly nicer than Sniper. Much more limp and smooth than Sniper or Shooter.

Have you missed your line choice for topwater lures?

Re: Best fishing line for the specific techniques
Sunline Sniper or Shooter FC for all techniques where I prefer fluorocarbon
12# Sniper for all crankbaits and suspending jerkbaits
16# Sniper for Texas rigged Plastics/Spinnerbaits/Pitchin'
20# Shooter for Flippin'
12# Trilene XL for topwaters and floating jerkbaits
50# Sufix 832 for Frogs/Punchin'/Buzzbaits
The lakes I fish have grass, pads, reeds, stumps, laydowns, a lot of heavy cover. Never had issues with line using those stated.
I'll stick with them until they give me a reason to switch.

Re: Best fishing line for the specific techniques
How about big topwater baits? Would you guys go braid or 20lb+ mono? I'm talking about baits 2oz and up.
I use braid for my smaller baits but I'm very new to these big boys.

Re: Best fishing line for the specific techniques
Sunline looks to have three lines that are called Shooter FC Sniper, the latter and Invisable and BMS. I fished the BMS on Saturday. It was nice so I was looking for more but may give the Invisable and non colored a try too
