Jerk Baits, What Line Are You Using???

Featured Replies

Just as the title states, what line are you guys using for jerk bait fishing and why? I'm setting up a rod for that purpose and I'm undecided on what line I want. I leaning towards 10# Invisix because it sinks and will help with getting baits down and staying there. I'd like to hear some opinions befor I dump $25 on a spool of line, thanks in advance for the replies...

I use 12 lb Big Game. 1000 yard spool for like 8 dollars.

Same ... And same for cranks too ... Light jerkbaits I use 8lb braid

I like throwing jerkbaits on fluoro. I'd like to try out some reaction fc in 10 lb. Been using sniper in 10 lb.

I use flouro. I'm usually fishing in water with anywhere between 8- 30 feet of clarity, so the low-vis factor is very important for me.

#10lb. Big Game Mono because I also use this same set up for top water ... If I used just for hard jerk baits I would use #8lb. to #10lb. InvizX .

Varies. Almost always fluoro.  8-15 depending on conditions, lures, rod/reel used etc.  If I had to choose one line only I would use 12lb.

12lb sunline super natural

Braid, usually 10lb. I bump up to 15lb with baits over 5/16th oz. Leaders are normally 8 and 10lb fluorocarbon, around 6 feet long.

10 lb p-line 100%. I have used 8lb sniper and that was good to.

8lb YZH

12# cx for jerks and topwater (baitcast)

8# invisix on spinning gear

I've been running 10lb fluoro the last few years, but am switching to 10lb braid with a fluoro leader this year. Do you tie directly (if so, what knot) or use a swivel?

8 lb Fireline, no leader.

10 lb Super Slick with 10 lb fluoro leader

I asked that a little while ago and got a lot of the same repsponses. I went with 30lb sufix 832. I only went with 30lb over 15 or 20 because i already had a spool of it. I will be using fluoro leader though in the 10-20lb range depending on conditions.
