Kind of curious. Can you tell me what pound test line you like to use for crappie fishing and why do you use that pound test?

6lb test Vicious Panfish Hi-Vis !!! IMO is the best for the type fishing I do which is Longlining !!!
Im running an 8lb Hi-Vis braided line when Im single poling in timber. It has less stretch than mono and I think the bite is felt easier. Also, when hung up I have been able to retrieve my hook more time than not using the braid over the mono. Trolling or casting I go with a 4 or 6lb Hi-Vis mono line. Just my preference.

I just cast jigs, so I use 2-4# line.
Thinner line casts farther and sinks faster and is strong enough to land any crappie.
IMO for casting, fishing bridge columns and shooting docks 4#
Berkley Nanofil line because it will make longer cast. Comes in 2 lb or larger also.
For 12 footer rod vertical jigging 20# braid and florucarbon leader is sensitive and strong enough to straighten out lightwire hooks in structure.
For longlining 6# Pline or 6# Suffix or Nanofil and just about any mono line will work.
For spider rigging l have went to 20# florucarbon Seaguar or Berkley line is invisible and strong enough to straighten out lightwire hooks hung up in structure.

6 lb P line, I think its stronger and doesn't kink as much as others, less memory

6lb high vis mr crappie for longline and spider rig bc that seemed all around accepted test for longline. Tie my rigs with 4lb so break a hook instead of my main line. 10lb equivalent braid for cranks bc that’s size for the precision app and bend hook instead of lose a crank
6# spider wire. Works well for jigging crappie and walleye.
#6 lb Vicious hi-viz for longlinjng, shooting docks, and 2-4# Vicious hi-viz for vertical jigging and casting.

2 lb fire line for free lining and 4lb mr crappie line for boat fishing
I gave up on the Wally Marshall Hi-Viz some years ago. It got to where you never knew what you were getting. Their quality control seems to have went out the door. I went to Vicious because of it, and have been satisfied with their product, in all sizes. Their fluorocarbon isn’t a bad line either for those green carp.Quote:

I use a combination of 3 lines depending on technique. If I'm casting or jigging in clear water I go with 4# otherwise I'm jigging with 10/2 braid with a 6# leader. Tightlining or trolling its 6#. Trilene or viscious for fluoro/mono and power pro for braid. I prefer high vis for casting/shooting docks if clear water isn't an issue. Otherwise I go with the clear line

I use only 2 types, #6 low vis Trilene for Longlining, and #10 low vis Trilene for tightlining. Tried just about every line made and I only use The Berkley Trilene. Last longer and good knot strength.
Same here! ALWAYS 6#.;):)Quote:

I've been using the Viscous hi Vis 4 lb for several years. It was made in USA at one time,now I don't think so. I couldn't find any in late summer when I needed another spool,so I got the Mr Crappie. I long line with the 4 lb. The lake that I mostly fish isn't known for big fish, most of what I catch are not monster slabs,so the 4 works for me.
#4 lb high vis
