Which line to use?

[SaltERedneck]

mono... 10lb to get it where it needs to be. braid only through grass/thick stuff.... i.e. rippin rattle traps, jigs, swim jigs. fluoro only for finecky fish or finesse baits like shaky heads, carolina rigs.

I use 12 lb all around. Braid on Carolina, jigs, worms, traps. Mono for everything else. If you want the bait to run deeper, go with 10 lb flouro.

I use braid on carolina to the swivel. then fluoro leader. I made the mistake of spooling a whole reel with fluoro a few years back. didnt know you had to condition the line. that shtuff faded quick and had memory to boot.
