    Guys what would be the best line to put on my bullwhip/Shimano 500 combo. Crappies, bluegill is what I will target with this set up. Mono, Flouro?? What brand does everyone like?

    I use 3lb. Pline FloroIce on my Bullwhip, with a Shimano Sienna 500.

    How does the bullwhip do against perch? Thinking that might be my next rod.

    I’m pretty sure in an episode of IDO, I’ve seen James using the bullwhip in South Dakota.

    I think it was this episode.

    3# ice magic is a no brainer for me considering it’s what I have on my Bullwhip/Shimano500 combo. I use 2# on my Precision Noodle.

    The Bullwhip will handle anything you throw at it. One could say when it comes to catching fish, it really cracks the “whip”!
    I know…lame….but it is a very versatile rod.

    Fish are line shy around here with all the pressure we get. I have found that 1 lb Asso Micron 3 line works good.

    I bought the bullwhip before I went to Devils Lake last year and handled small spoons and rattle traps fine. I caught anything from small perch to 11-12 inch jumbo perch and walleyes 20″ and under and it works great I would suggest that rod or the quick tip.

    Couldn’t have said it better myself on the line choice but we can get away with 3#.

    What about a Bullwhip with a inline reel? What line would you recommend?
