just curious what line and size?
A quick search revealed many threads just for this.... like this one

But, quick answer is whatever is on sale. Most all modern lines now are perfectly fine. Keep it fresh and keep it clean. I use P-line, Yo-Zuri hybrid, Stren, and others. 4# or 6# depending on the chance of snags in the area I'm fishing, and then tipped with 2# or 4# leader.

2lb trout sos... Pline xxtra strong 4lb... And 4lb bass pro excel are what I use
Stren . 4,6,8. depending on water clarity and/or trash in water .original clear blue florescent . 6lb. being used the most .
Yep. There are literally hundreds of "what line" threads in the archives (maybe even thousands.)Quote:

2 lb. Trilene XL. I not stuck on Trilene, but it generally is the only monofilament available in 2 lb. around here. Sometimes 4 lb. mono. in any available non-generic brand. I generally stick to clear or dark green lines.
2lb XXX izorline (smoke) and Yo-Zuri Hybrid (green) both are a co-polymer lines. Use to be a Tectan fan.....
Kinda depends on the jig and soft plastic or other body material total weight. Another consideration is whether you're vertical jigging or casting/retrieving. For the above, 4-6# test Trilene or a good fluorocarbon works fine, but I've also used 6# test braid (2lb diameter) and done fine. Too high a line diameter may overpower very light lures and not allow the type of desired retrieve. 2# test is rarely needed in my experience - even under the ice.
6 lbs fluorocarbon for all panfish.
Sorry I asked this Question
No need to be sorry. All topics are valid.Quote:

Depending on how much you fish...how many fish one may catch....IMHO....is a determining factor on how often one changes line. And there is the problem for all...the cost. I change line about every two weeks....and sometimes more often. If I am catching two to three hundred bluegill in a week....throw in several dozen white and yellow bass in there...the occasional largemouth that really works my line over...and I am ready to change it out. That is why I use mostly 2# SOS. It has good knot strength....decent casting distance....manageability....and the cost is not that bad. I love the Japanese lines but I don't use them that much due to cost. But keep in mind I fish 5 days a week....365 a year.
