I know this has been talked about some, but I have not got a clear picture yet.

I want to fish swimbaits this year. Most say use minimum of 20lb mono. Some say 30-65lb braid, and some say 20lb flourocarbon.

My swimbaits are not that big, 5 to 7 inch and 3oz is the largest I have so far. I am thinking of getting an Okuma swimbait rod and cardiff 300 reel.

Need proper line suggestions. Thanks.

I throw 25lb mono

20#-25# mono.  I use P-Line CXX.  Big Game works well also

P-Line Evolution 20-25 lbs

For swimbaits I like to use 30lb Power Pro braid or 17 lb Trilene XT.  I use the braid in and around cover and the Trilene XT in open water or fishing them deep.

20lb CXX for everything I have been throwing.

Will likely go up to 25lb for the bigger Huds this year.

I like 20-25 flouro.

20lb P-line CXX
