bucktailing fluke with 10lb braid

[slim]

Who has 10lb braid on their spinning outfit for bouncing small bucktails? What kind of braid do you prefer?

[mikeytheflop]

I have a super tiny spinner that I use 8lb braided line under the correct conditions:

I like it, but only the right conditions here in NJ - calm, flat lying, west wind+outgoing tide on a private boat. Not the kind of gear you want to use with ripping tide on a packed party boat - you'll be public enemy #1 in no time! If you know what your doing you can probably get away with it under any conditions!

I caught a 6lb fluke this summer when the fam and I stayed in Loveladies and went on a non-sponsor party boat - won the pool $190 clams!

Have fun you will love!

I have a super light rod and reel set up with 10lbs.. a lot of fun on the light tackle.. Just make sure ur drag is not locked down bc when that slob hits dont want to loose em.. My set up is 10lbs power pro.. Then i tie my jigs with 10-15lbs top shot.. tied together with an albright..

I only go down to 20lb Braid on my lightest Fluke Spinning Outfit for the bay when its calm....:)

Yeah, a surprise, but check the prices - nothing special.

Thanks for all the replies guys but i was wondering what specific braid you use on your light setups.

20lb power pro for me is the lightest ill go in the bay if I'm fishing for keepers (which is obviously every time) :cool:

Suffix performance braid or tuf line xp. The tuf line is cheaper than power pro and suffix and might be the best.

Power Pro - Green

I really like power pro, 20lb. Braid, with a 10' Seagur 15lb. Leader, I add a small feather teaser, 14" above my jig, had lots of luck last year with a blue and white buck tail ,2oz to 3oz. Good fishing....

Samurai Braid by Diawa 20lb is .009 inch adequal to 4lb mono. It is extra smooth and is really quiet even if you have titanium guides. If you want the best this is the one. It an't cheap....

[jlrotary]

I use daiwa samurai 18 lb.
sufix performance 20 lb.
I like the samurai alot but its pricey.

I use 10-15lb Power Pro Red. It is a blast. Seem to catch one after the other while others are watching.....

Lighter line, lighter leader...lighter bucktails under the right conditions equals more fish....Maybe not bigger but more..

20# is as low as I'll go - if you're short on mono shock leader the rocks and wrecks we fish are not very forgiving to 10# braid :)

In the Raritan Bay or Sandy hook Channel lite bucktails and ''no srtucture'' is the ticket for ultra lite braid .As Alan said ,for structure you need a good strong top shot.Last summer the weakies were thick in Chappel Hill channel.10lb Braid and a 3/8oz buctail was a suicide rig.If you go on a PB you still have to control your fish to avoid tangles.I would use a min of 20lb braid.I am not a big advocate of braid for stripers but i do like it for fluking.Remember braid is unforgiving so set your drag properly.

Late in the season I realized that my biggest fluke were hitting one of my smallest baits and it had to do with the action.

This limited me to 2 oz and that meant the thinnest and strongest line - using 10 lb spider wire braid with mono leader.

I would have no problem keeping this rig clear of everyone else on a PB - I would work the under the boat and cast up current or upwind and work it like a wet fly in stream.
