Ok what kind of line would your recomend for top water use? What weight?

Mono for top water uses, unless you are throwing frogs in slop, then you are going to want a braid. but because mono floats you dont have to worry about diameter and can throw what ever # you want. you can read more at  .... http://www.another site/articles/fishing-line-guide/

I like 6 - 10 pound test mono for the lightest poppers, walkers, and prop baits. For topwaters 3/8 of an ounce or over, I like 12 - 14 pound mono, and buzzbaits I use 14. For frogs, minimum 30 pound test braid with a 20 pound clear mono leader.

For moving topwater baits like buzzbaits or a rage shad you can use anything really.  For twitching topwaters, or ones with a pause I'd choose mono.

30# braid for all topwater lures in open water.

65# braid in vegetation.

I have always used mono for topwater, however this year I am going to try out Yo-zuri hybrid.

X2, trying out the Yo-Zuri Hybrid this year as well.

Later,

I like Trilene Big Game for topwaters. #10 for poppers, walk the dog type baits, #15 for anything else

+1 that is what I would have said too.

Which brands of mono line float? I'm interested in trying some. I just tested 8 different lines with some being a co-polymer and when the surface tension is broken, they all sank. Fluorocarbon does the same thing but sinks faster. Is this another myth like floating worms?

Jebus Christ!

I use punny 10# braid.. call me a sucker for light tackle.. and light line.

I tend to agree. Unless I was fishing where I knew there was a chance at a bass over 10 lbs.. Fireline of this breaking strength will lift the tree stump out of the water!  

90% of my open water topwaters are tossed on 12# mono - Trilene XT.

12lb mono and up to 30lb for frogs!

Mono for treble hook baits.

Flouro for everything else, including trick worms and frogs.

Braid for heavy cover.

i am using 12lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid  for my baitcasters

Braid seems to kill the action of poppers, walkers, and prop baits. I only use braid with frogs.
