Default Which line to use?

Which line do y'all use for your crankbait rod braid or fluorocarbon?

Im no bass fisherman, but my father is. For medium and deep divers, he uses a 7'11" medium rod with 12lb co-polymer I believe, and a 7' for square bills and shallow divers with the same line.

I use mono in 10ld and 14ld
the size line helps get it to the right depth, 8-10ld line gets it down the deepest 12-14 ld line keeps it in a mid range and anything heavier will keep from it from going down and dampens the action.

I started using flouro on the causeway 14 lb I think, box is gone so not xactly sure...
I like it; don't fray as much as the mono rubbing aginst the pylons.

Normal fishing I use 10 or 12 lb big game. Bought a big spool of each from academy this past fall.... Won't need line for years!!

Power pro 15 lb for top water with a 15 or 20 lb leader 6-7 ft long.

Bass fishing I use power pro for jigs , frogs and top water.

Mono for spinner baits and buzz baits & shallow crank baits.

Flouro for deep crank baits or rattle traps

leader 6 or 7 ft long w t f??? Just spool up with mono....
Reeling in s leader knot will mess your eyes on rod up

Leader is only tied about 12-18inches long

I fish with a long leader n never have guide trouble. But I do it to save time , when my line gets chaffed close to the bait I just cut a few inches off instead of re tying a UNi to UNi knot
