Was having a debate with a buddy about fishing line. he prefers braid to fluorocarbon leader. I use just good old monofilament.
he tries to get me to use braid with crappie but i think the fall rate for the light tackle might possibly be too fast for how I like to fish?
but question is.. what brand weight and line makeup do YOU prefer and WHY.
I'm a fan of viscous 4lb test hi vis seems to have little to no memory.
:cheers2
just a little tackle talk this fine Sunday morning.
10lb power pro and sometimes tie straight tot he jig especially casting but dipping tie to 8lb Fluorocarbon and like it because it sinks and feel like it has better movement. Always a loop knot to the jig, like how it hangs vertically.
Mostly use Vicious Panfish hi-vis 6# test ... straight to the jig.
I like Gamma high vis 2, 4, and 6 pound test for all my panfishing.
Slim Line hi vis 6lb

I think there are three different lines on my five casting rods, one mono and two braids. If I could only use one line, it would be braid.
Berkley fire line crystel 6lb, Both ice fishing and summer rods, most of the time tied directly to jigs or a plain snap using cranks….
i use 8 pound mono on jigs. 10 pound power pro green braid to a 6 pound mono leader for spider rigging. braid will allow you to feel the bite better
How do you feel a bite spider rigging, aren't the rods in a rod holder?Quote:

I have braid rods and fluorocarbon rods and they rest in my rod storage in the garage almost always…..
Many times my combo of choice dictates what line works well on it
:highfive
!5 lb. diawa j braid x 4 to a 10lb. mono leader.
Suffix mono, 6# both clear and hi-vis 90% of the time, 4# the rest of the time.
I've never used braid and actually wish they'd make it illegal to use. Since it's almost impossible to break, I see that stuff all over the lake where guys who get snagged just simply cut it and leave an extra 10' or 20' of line laying in the lake for someone to come along and get it wrapped in their trolling motor or snag it.
