Talking about on a baitcaster here. I am not talking about punching or flipping a jig or something. Say on a 7' Med Fast rod and a reel with say 30 IPT. I am talking about T-rigging a worm, hula grub, a rage bug, possibly something with a little more movement like a fluke. You using mono, fluoro or braid? What pound strength? Is there a prevailing thought here or is it all just personal preference?

16# Sniper in moderate cover

20# Shooter in heavy cover

 

 

 

 

Mike

Personal preference: for what you describe Id use 14/16 sniper for light to moderate cover.

Light to moderate cover I shoot with my Trion loaded with 12# FC

Heavier cover it's the President with 20# Braid...no leader

30 lb braid to a 12-16 lb fluorocarbon leader dependent upon the type of cover.  

My worm rod has 17lb clear blue fluorescent Trilene xl . Its .015 inches in diameter . When line watching I like the lines that glow from UV light then disappears under water .

12-17 pound fluoro, depending on what rod, bait and cover, another vote for Sniper.

40# yellow Power Pro with 8-10# YZH leader

Berkley Big Game 15# ?

For a jig or Texas rig I use Sunline Super Florocarbon 12#.

8-17lb stren purple.

 

Or

 

10-15lb seguar fluorocarbon.

 

On a leader tied to 6-20lb braid. I only fish braid main line for all fishing.

This is how I do it too around anything besides grass and pads.  In the grass & pads I will just go with straight braid to eliminate additional snag points.

50 lb (easy for me to see) Yellow Power Pro and 12 lb Big Game mono leader.  

Usually Cajun Red 14lb Monofilament ; but I also like PLine CXX 10 to 15lb and Spiderwire Ultimate Mono 10 -14lb

15lb seaguar invizx or 15 lb cxx. 

Big Game 12lb or 15lb.

Same for me.

I like braid to FC leader on many set-up.  I also use sniper 10-15 lbs

#12 and #15 Seaguar Tatsu

 

Last two seasons, plain old Trilene XL 12 lb mono.

 

This season I'm trying YZH 12 lb hybrid/copoly just to see how it works out.

 

30lb Power Pro braid w/ 12 or 15 lb Seaguar Red Label leaders.

30 lb Sufix 832 braid + 10 lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid leader..

12lb Seaguar Invizx

40# 832 & 12# Sniper FC, 50# 832 & 20# Sniper FC

14# Sunline Sniper mostly for me depending on cover.
