I am getting a 7' MH Vendetta casting rod. I want to use it for moving baits. I am trying to decide what line to use it with. What if I used 20 lb TUF LINE Force? I would use a 15 pound fluorocarbon leader.

IMO, 12-15 lb fluro is the best line to use for moving baits. You can throw crankbaits, spinnerbaits, chatrerbaits, soft plastic swimbait, swimjigs and anything else you can think of. The only thing I don't recommend is throwing it in heavy cover, but sparse cover or open water is good.

 would the small diameter of braid be better?

15lb Big Game is what I use for moving baits except cranks, I use 10lb Big Game for that.

I just bought 12# Yozuri Hybrid for that

And jigging

what about 12 pound cxx

Never used it.

Sunline Shooter Defier Armilo Nylon - 13 lb for moving baits & 22 lb for my big swimbaits.

I just got this for my topwater setup.I can't wait to try it.

I'm probably in the minority but I like braid for my moving baits, I tried using Yozuri Hybrid for spinnerbaits this year and while I liked the line I missed the direct contact and sensitivity of braid and the stretch in the line I felt cost me a few fish on the hooksets when they didn't fully grab it.

 

If you decide to go braid I'd recommend stepping up to 30lb as your mainline if you are using leaders that heavy. 20lb braid to a 15lb leader is a pretty big difference in line diameters. 

Yo-Zuri.

I use 12-15 lb copolymer line. Usually whatever I have sitting around. P-line or Yo-Zuri 

Moving baits with treble hooks or single hook?

 

I'm pretty much down to using braid with a long copoly or mono leaders.  they are cheaper lines, give a bit of stretch to trebles and the knots are more forgiving.  i also like the stretch when someone wraps me around timber, docks etc

 

I only use fluoro leaders with heavier line for jigs

I use braid with a leader for just about all the fishing I do and this includes moving baits.

It would depend, where will you be throwing these baits?
