What pound fluorocarbon do u guys recommend?

Is this for stream trout (brookies, browns, rainbows) or lake dwellers (lake, larger rainbows, steelhead)?

 

For the former, I'd suggest 4#, for the others, 10#-12#

 

Some might suggest 2# for the stream trout, but it's too 'loose' and apt to break off.

Just fishing for some stocked ones

Again. It depends on what species and the size when they're dropped into the water. While I HAVE landed some 4-5# Rainbows on my UL, it's not for everyone. It's a long-tough battle to get a fish who's weight is at or even slightly above the test-poundage of the line into the boat/kayak/canoe or onshore.

4# unless they're really large fish. If you're fishing power bait it probably won't float with fluoro though.

I fish 4# Fluro for Stream & River Rainbows and it does just fine. I pretty much fish Marabou Jigs exclusively, so I don’t really need mono for floating baits. And if I’m not throwing a Marabou, which is rare; I will throw an in-line spinner of some sorts.

Now, if I’m going to target some big Browns, I probably wouldn’t have 4# spooled on.
