What line do you use for bladed jigs? Just curious, I'm not very knowledgeable on bladed jigs.

15# fluoro

Always used fluoro, but for $$ sake, I use 15lb yo zuri hybrid.

I usually use 16lb FC Sniper. 12lb Pline CXX works well too I just prefer Fluorocarbon.

15# red label fluoro

I'm just confused because the Chatterbait package says "For better action, use braid". When fishing one on braid, would you go straight braid ir leader?

I fish them with 12lbs copolymer line and the wife fishes them with 30lbs braid and depending on the clarity of the water will use a 10lbs copolymer leader.

12 # Sunline FC Sniper....Personnel preference! No issues so far :)

Mono or Fluoro.

I also go with 50# braid. The waters I fish are never crystal clear so I really don't worry about the fish seeing the line. I've also used 15# CXX in the past and it's great as well.

Another reason I never worry about using straight braid is because I'm always fishing my jigs in or very close to grass. Ideally I want it to make contact with some form of cover at least half of the entire retrieve.

I use braid as I usually throw them in grass or other cover where the braid comes in handy.

I'm just confused because the Chatterbait package says "For better action, use braid". When fishing one on braid, would you go straight braid ir leader?

I'm going to re-write that for them and say "to feel the action of your chatterbait better, use braid".  

I use two types of line... for light grass and just about any cover I go between 16lb-20lb sniper.  For heavy grass I use 70lb braid (daiwa samurai).  If I'm concerned about visibility of line I will put on a leader of 15-20lb fluoro.  

The other option I will go with if I'm kind of being lazy is just 15 lb mono. 

I fish the micro size on #8 yo zuri hybrid, I'm also fishing it in pretty open water targeting grass that's 8-10 feet underwater.
