I have used several lines over the years and currently use Cajun red & Mr. Crappie 10 lb for trolling. Both of the lines I'm using now are good but I see a lot of folks swapping the slimeline so I just wanted to your thoughts on what you are using. Its hard for me to pull the trigger on $43.00 for 1/4 spool of line.

Mr Crappie Hi-Viz 4 or 6 pound. Use your drag the right way and never lose a fish because of a broken line.

Vicious 10lb mono hi-viz. I use to use Mr Crappie 10lb hi-viz, and I need another spool and was forced to use Vicious. I believe I like it better than Mr Crappie due to less breakage.

12 pound Trilene Big Game Solar Collector Green. I lose far less cranks on this than I did on 10. I don't worry about the difference it might make in the depth of a bait according to dive charts. Add a few feet of line and keep on pulling.
On my 5 long rods ... 4 have braid (10lb - 30lb test) and one has Maxima Red (10lb test), but all will have leaders of 6-8lb test (Vicious Panfish, Stren Super Knot, Mr Crappie camo, or Berkley Iron Silk).
Most of my "trolling" is actually "Pushing" jigs. Rest of the time I'm usually casting jigs w/6# test Vicious.
Mr. Crappie 6 n 8
Vicious Hi Vis
Thank you all. I went with the vicious hi vis
Stren Hi viz yellow- 10#
I use the viscous 4 lb hi VI's for longlining. It use to be made here but I think it's made elsewhere now. That was the main reason I got it but I liked it. My spool is almost used up. I have used the Mr.crappie as well.
Is it still USA made? I looked at their website and looked like some was made here and some not?Quote:

Mr. Crappie 4 lb test. No trolling for me. Shooting docks and tight line casting hair jigs only.
Suffix Elite Hi-vis yellow 4 lb test for single pole fishing both docks and off shore fishing. I don’t troll because I have no interest in the boat hooking the fish and me just reeling it in. I only want to finesse fish for crappie and I do that year round. Sort of expensive in the small packs but I got a 1/4 lb spool for $38 on line from eBay.
Not sure.Quote:

If you use cheap line you get what you pay for. Mr. Crappie and crappie max are crap. I use a quality line such as stren, suffix, e.c.t.
I use Pline Moss green

P- line 4# but now discontinued ... guess I am looking for a new line when my bulk spool is gone!
Just yesterday I changed all of my line over to the clear 10# Stren. Hopefully I will be able to pull more hooks out of those stumps rather than snapping with the 6# I had on.

I use the Saltwater Angler line from Bass Pro. 8# for pulling and 10# for pushing. I tried the Vicious Line in 6 and 8 lb. I'll make you a deal on 2 spools of it Lynn. It was breaking while traveling down the road.
Oh crap!! That is not what I need.Quote:
