What is your football jig line set up : Straight FC ? Straight Braid ? Braid + FC or Mono Leader ? ... I'm trying to decide my football jig line set up for <15ft. open water with scattered gravel / rocks in a Southern reservoir ?

Straight fluoro, 12-15 pound usually.

12# Tatsu

16lb Sumline Sniper floro. It has a very small diameter for 16lb like.

Straight fluoro, 12-15 pound usually.

 

 

Ditto Bluebasser.

This ^^

Echo...
Straight Fluoro 12-16lb.

I also use 12-15 # FC typically I use 15#

As has been echief here. 12-17ln fluoro depending on weight of jig

Straight Fluoro. I use red label since I nick up line so often

30lb braid ... just because

12-15 lb. CXX or 15 lb. Tatsu.

I fish use two set ups for my football jigs. For 3/8 to 1/2 ounce football jigs, I'll throw them on a 7' MH F with 12lb CXX. If I'm throwing a jig from 3/4 to 1 1/4 ounce, I'll use a 7'6" H F with 15lb CXX.

12# Tatsu for upto 1/2 oz jigs- that's all I throw anyway.

I should have added I mainly stay with 1/2oz. football jigs and only use a baitcast combo for football jig work  ... Looks to be an application where 12lb. to 15lb. FC is most popular !

I also use 12-15 # FC typically I use 15#

same

12# FC. It sinks! When I fish Footballs I'm making long casts and letting additional line out to get to the depths straight down. So as its sinking its not coming back to the boat, its going down at the point it lands from the cast. FC will help prevent the line bowing across the top of the water. I use AbrazX for these as well since I'm going to be in rocky or structure areas.

Another vote for straight fluoro, 16# TORAY Superhard Upgrade for FB jigs of 3/8-3/4 oz.
