blue, I personally use a 15# braid, spidercast ultra to be exact, the smaller diameter line you can use the deeper the bait will run
I use 10# Stren hi vis gold, u can see it better.
I use 20# hi vis yellow I got from China off of eBay. I get #6 red trebles from a guy in Canada off of eBay and replace all my hooks with them after I paint the cranks.
10 pound Mr. Crappie Hi Vis
30/8 Power Pro braid. If I just fished the Big 4 I wuld use 10# Hi Vis.
thanks everyone,on vacation in florida and brought some of my cranks with me and figured i would change some hooks out when i could,the reason being right before i left for vacation i pulled and pushed cranks and missed alot of fish and i figuered i would get a second opinion of a few things so i might have better success.i imagine some of the missed fish is because i have bought alot of cranks used,so thats why i checking all the hooks.with the powerpro 30 lb i running i seem to catch more fish if i run my drag real loose ,anyone else run their drag loose,thanks
I keep my drag loose enough to keep from breaking my rod if I hang up. One thing I like about the braid is that you can straighten your hook and get your crank back.

for those using the braid line........are you still using snap swivels or tying directly to the baits? Have thought about the braid for more depth and maybe straightening out hooks when snagged. Figured the snap swivel would give before the hooks. I have been using the 10 lbs Hiviz Vicious and like it, but do break off when snagged.
10Lb. Cabelas Pro-Line high vis yellow
30lb braid will definately straighten out the snap swivel. Normans do ok tho.Quote:
