Is any1 using 4#, 6# on a casting rig ?

 

ive been using 4lb sufix mono during the winter. Once it warms up ill be back to my regular line, 6-10lb

I've use 6# on a casting rig for trout, not bass though. Leader may go as low as 2#.

I will go down to 6# for bass, but I have caught plenty of decent fish on 4# while crappie fishing. Caught two smallies on back to back casts 18" and 19" on an ultralight with 4lb test two springs ago.

I use 2# almost exclusively for trout, if you are patient and use a net it's not that hard to land fish on 2 if you follow them and keep them away from cover and rocks. My friend had a rod spooled with 1lb test that was a blast to use on small trout. He also had some .5lb test leader, we tried to use it but it was too small to tie knots with, even my "young eyes" couldn't see it! I think it was called frogs hair.

I have tried 1/4# test for panfish before. Cant remember the name of it but it was co-poly ice line i believe. Tying knots is nuts, its like human hair. Was fun at first then a pain in the rump, have to net every bluegill and half the time i broke off baits on the cast.

No bass on it, thank goodness!
