Thread: Fishing line size

"I’m a lefty and cast with left hand/arm and reel with right. All you wrong handed people been using the wrong reels this whole time."
I'm a righty, cast with right hand and reel with the left.
My brother-in-law was a lefty, cast with left hand and reel with right. He could fish circles around like that so I changed my reels up and could keep up with him. If he cast near a tree he could have his bait headed back before I could swaps hands.

I use Mr Crappie Camo for everything Mono. 8# test takes about 12 pounds to break. I tie a know that is easy to break, it will straighten a #4 hook but breaks with #2's. I don't like pulling the Mono a ridiculous amount, stretching it to the point of damaging several feet. Mr Crappie line is the toughest Mono I have found and the Camo doesn't spook fish. Once I move up to 12# I use Red Line.

I prefer 40# power pro braid in Hi Viz yellow / 10# test diameter. On my 7th year with same line on the spool. Looks a little dull until you get it wet but still can still see it fine. No worry about break offs just make sure drag is set right. Lose very few cranks if any, I started with 8# Crappie Maxx mono it was what I had on hand. Worked fine but abrasion caused a good many lost cranks and a few fish!
