Hey guys,

 

I am looking to buy two or three combos for my place in florida and am having a dilemma as to what combos and what lb test line i should use...

 

I am mostly fishing in winter/early spring down there, so i am not getting a heavy action rod.

 

however, i am getting a medium action, medium heavy action, and a good spinning rod.

 

What i am stuck on is what lb test BRAID for the medium heavy rod? Ill be throwing big worms, paddle tail swim baits and spinnerbaits. I feel like 30-40lb braid would be ok for swim baits and worms in grass, but is it overkill for spinnerbaits?

30lb would be fine for all

I usually only use 10lb test braid. I still don't understand going so heavy. I have never broken the line. Keep in mind though..I fish West Virginia...not Florida or Southern California.

30# would be perfect. 

30-40# is great for these techniques...

Thanks guys!

Thirty is fine. When fishing thick vegetation though 50 or 65 is the way to go, but that's mostly a flipping/pitching/punching type of thing, or for frogs. That said, hard jerkbaits, punching, and frogs are the only things I use braid for, and for those it is the ONLY way to go IMO.
