I need some input on fishing line. I currently run Stren Braided (20lb) on my baitcasters and PLINE Mono (14lb) on my spinning reals. I am finding my baitcasters are starting to backlash more frequent here lately and my spinning reels are not casting that well and my line has a lot of limp curls in it when I throw it. I have heard that flurocarbon line works best on spinning reels. Any input form you guys on which line works best with each rig will be greatly appreciated.

For the braid go w/ a heaver line, 20 lb test is about 6lb diaimeter, the smaller the diaimeter the easer it will backlash, I use 40 lb. For your spinners try walking or trolling you line. When your on the water take off whatever you have tied on and troll along while letting your line out all the way, then reel it all back on. This will take all the twist out. If you want to do it on land, tie a tie on a hook and swivle, attach it to some thing and walk out all the line, then slowly reel it back on keeping it tight. While your doing it give it a few jerks to keep the swivle turning.
I use floro on all my baitcasters except for my c-rig, its braid, but I dont fish alot of thick vegitation that often, good luck.
switch out the lines!!put the braid on the spinning and the mono on the B/C's
Thanks for the info. As for braided on my spinning reels, I have not had much success with that in the past.
