BUT ... it may also depend on which rods were being used, too.
All choices are personal choices on what I "would" use, but since I don't use either method to any degree ... I maintain the right to change my mind, should I start using those methods & encountered difficulties :Doh: :Rofl
... cp :kewl
I use 6 for longlining and 10-12 for pulling cranks so I would say 8. That is mono. You might get by with 6/20 braid. I use the same rods a lot but not the same reels.
I've got B&M pro staff trolling rods & line counter reels . Thanks for the help!
i use 30lb braid for cranksand 6lb mono for longlining jigs,i agree with mrdux though i use the same rods but change the reels out.I want to have a set of rods for each by the end of the year where i dont have to change them out.Quote:

Braid for cranks tied direct never hurt my catch rate in water with color. Clear water I might add the flouro leader to a couple and see if it mattered to the fish. B/C for crankbaits worked good for me but spinning for jigs makes life lots easier. I wouldn't get specific rods but I do have a different set of reels and just change them out when the season changes.
I use the same rods and reels for both, line size 10# stren mono, hi viz. I have 4 counter reels and four casting reels on my rods. 4 -12' and 4 - 10'.
Whatever I use never seems to work.
now tom ,i`ve seen you catch fishnononoQuote:
