Kastking 8#/2# diameter braid and sometimes adding a 2' fluoro leader of 6# test Kastking for good crankbait vibration and depth accuracy. No point in using thicker line or a line with stretch. The length of line behind the boat is usually 50'.

The biggest problem is catching dead black algae on the crankbait killing its action, but more important repelling fish from its strong odor/taste. Fish senses detect that crap immediately !
