benm Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I've started to get back into a bit of bottom bashing off the rocks but all my spinning reels now have braid. I have found mono better off the rocks in the past as it doesn't cut as easily on rocky bottoms. I will be targetting dirty fighters like big drummer and groper. Obviously the harder and thicker the line, the harder it will be to cut on jagged rocks, but I don't want to comprimise too much with casting ability. I would like to fill a Stradic 5000 with mono, I think 20lb would be good choice. I would like to know what brands people recommend. Cheers.

Mousse Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I like Schneider Klearline. I use 20 pound on both my Alvey and Penn and find it perfect off the rocks. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II via Tapatalk mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Schneider for me as well. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Fishing off the rocks requires a mono with abrasive resistance. Personally my favourite is tortue, not the cheapest mono but its not something you need to buy often. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt84 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Schneider for drummer/groper Use torture on my Lbg reels though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks everyone. I have used Tortue in the past and while it was the most abrasive resistant line I have used, it was so hard that is wasn't very good to cast. I will also be using this setup to cast out far for squid using fish skewered on spikes. How is Schneider Klearline for casting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Surecatch Krypton is excellent line that won't break the bank. Have a look at the diameter compared to Klearline and Tortue etc and it is surprisingly thin. Best of all it has excellent abrasion resistance. I have used a lot of lines and settled on this one. Its a bit more expensive than Schneider but not nearly as expensive as braid. I do a lot of wash fishing for bream,drummer and have used this line with great success. Not always easy to find would be the only issue. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET01 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've been using Kokoda GTR ultra for rock fishing in 15lb. Great stuff. Made short work of a 47cm silver drummer in rough terrain. Suitable for alveys and spinning reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottyscotty Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I use tortue chasing drummer. My drummer spots don't require me to cast far at all so being less supple is not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
