Not sure of the best but let me tell you what not to use .Thirty or so yrs. ago, before I even knew about a crappie in Grenada lake . We were wading the back water throwing sassy shad spinnerbaits . My friend who left his stringer at home kept needing me to meet him to put fish on my stringer . I got tired of doing this and found a ten ft. of fly line . (tough stuff if you try to break it by hand ). I ties the first of my fish on and slid the rest on through the gills . Gave my buddy the stringer . Every once in a while it would snag brush and I would have to jerk them loose . Once as the fish came floating buy there was a 4 ft. water moccasin with the first fish in it's mouth came sliding up next to me . Fishing at Gore Springs in Waders has never appealed to me since . every time I see fly line I relive that moment .
