Cajun Red

[gloomis1983]

Readin through the forums i don't see anyone that says they use the Cajun Red. I was just wondering if anyone else uses it because i've used it for along time now and its really tough, cast good, and will not kill your wallet

i use is sometimes

[daileydouble]

not too many people out here use it. most people are going to the Black Widow or Silver Thread

i use to use it still do sometimes its good line. i like big game or black widow better tho.

i dont like this line it gets line memory 2 fast..

[msanson]

does this line sink, I was thinking about buying it, I have been using berkley big cat (bright green) so far this year and it still does something different every time I go out, sometimes it sinks sometimes it floats and I have not been real happy with it, a friend of mine uses big game and likes it and my brother in law that I fish with all the time uses spider wire, it's strong but I don't like it b/c it floats, has anyone used the cajun red 30 lb? I may get some big game and try it but i am anxious to see more comments about this cajun red

[flatheadsteve]

the cajun red is good line i use to use it alot i still do use it sometimes. i like big game and bps excel to. the cajun sometimes gets line memory kinda quick sometimes it doesnt.

Up until this year I have used nothing but Berkley and Berkley family lines. I used to use nothing but braided lines (Spiderwire and FireLine) but since you are not allowed to use them at paylakes I had to switch. I have been using BPS Excel though, and its worked out pretty well.

a guy i work w/ and used to fish with all the time all he uses is 30lb cajun red and works really well for him , yes it sinks well for me , i just don't use big game no more cuz it just doesn't have the abrasion resistence red does to me, but cajun does get memory easily sometimes, but i'd rather have a lil memory in my line than worry bout touhgness, for the price i can't find a tougher line

Red cajun is a awsome line but in my experience only the lighter line for maybe bass crappie walleye stuff like that. I used 12lb and its tough line but for a good paylaking line 25lb plus I cant say anything much good about it besides it worked good the first few times but broke off with it too many times casting and on big cats. I will stick with my Hi seas quatro.

[gloomis1983]

thats odd cuz i have had the complete opposite affect with it, the lighter line i didn't like but the 20, 25, 30, is the only stuff i'll buy anymore, don't know it is cheaper line so who knows??

[slipbobberdave]

Maybe there is a big difference between the lines. If you look on the spool some is for casting some is for stretch or somethin like that maybe some are a lot better than others. Not sure man maybe a lot has to do with the rig you have and all the tackle. Some guys use stuff I never would but they found somethin that works for them. I wouldnt use anything but stren or red cajun lighter line for my pan fishing. But I use light tackle and really flimsy rods.

[gloomis1983]

i buy the red lightnin' , i've been told the other stuff i think its red cast is the one to not buy according to some guys i fish with that use it

[slipbobberdave]

Thats cool man I will have to look around and see if I still have my old spool somewhere and what kind it was. Thanks for the info tho

[gloomis1983]

no problem
