Which line

Spoolin up my dock shooter and got a question for those in the know. I don't want opinions of whose line is best. That subject is pretty well ground to the nub. From you dock shooters reading this, WHAT line works best for you and why. Mono or braid, or?

Thanks
Pappa

Pappa ... I use copolymer line (6lb test Vicious Panfish hi-vis) for my dock shooting. Good abrasion resistance and strength, and seems to have a little less stretch than mono. Got it on my regular jig casting rods, too, since I'm usually casting into a lot of wood cover (brush piles, blowdowns, standing timber).

Always one in the crowd.....that was not a choice.:biggrin

4lb. Mono with fluorocarbon leader same test. I fish clear water so I need any help I can get.

Mono need the stretch and slower fall.

I use Power Pro Slick 8 braid. I like the strength and the ability to feel the smallest tic on the jig.

2-4lb test braid with fluorocarbon leader. Good casting distance and less stretch than mono when casting 1/16 oz plus the weight of plastic. Works even in spincast reels.

Try 6lb nanofil, shoots futher than any line out there!:biggrin

Any test will work but you should use mono line in my opinion as it gives a it of stretch to send the jig under the docks easier. Try both braid and mono and you will FEEL the difference! Good luck!

I do not shoot docks very often but when I do I prefer Stren 6lb HI Vis Yellow line because it works and I can see it better.

CAJUN 8 lb Mono...Get ALOT of Gars, and Bowfins...Need Stronger test...
