Heading to Bull Shoals next week . I'm a dirty water angler . My spinning equipment is set . I'm trying to make a decision on what to spool my baitcasters with . Any of you Ozark anglers care to clue me in ?

I am going there the first week of June.  I'm rigging #6 Tatsu on two spinning rigs:

Gitzit (baby diaper yellow) and BPS Tender Tube #71.

 

Baitcasting:  #11 Sunline Shooter Defier Armilo (jerkbait rod, topwater and lipless);

#12 Tatsu (Rage Tail Swimmer)

They've had a lot of rain, you might not need that spinning gear. Probably going to be a lot of bushes in the water and wouldn't be surprised if there's a good flipping, spinnerbait, and buzzbait bite.

 

You might want to have a look at the Ozark Anglers fishing forum site.  There are some Bull Shoals guys on it.  What part of the lake will you be fishing?

 

A guy who calls himself fish24/7 evidently lives on or near the lake.

12 is good line for bait caster in a highland reservoir 

Bull Shoals is high as usual and will probably be that way depending on how much they dump Table Rock and of course the spring rains.

I would use 12lb. flouro in the brand of your choosing for the bottom deal.
