I usually rig my bait-caster with fluorocarbon, because I fish mostly plastics with it. My spinning reel I put mono-filament on, and primarily use crank-baits with it. Anyone have advice on if I should change my types of line or should I flip- flop my reels for what I use them for

for worms you might try braid and for cranks try the fluorocarbon .

Spinning equipment:

Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft #6 (.010" diameter, 11.9 lb breaking strength)

Baitcasting gear:

Hybrid or Ultra Soft #12 (.013" diameter, 19.5 lb breaking strength)

I'd probably go:

8# BPS Flourocarbon on spinning (finesse, shaky, small crankbaits, jerkbaits)

15-17# Mono on baitcaster (topwater, shallow-mid crankbaits, spinner/buzz baits, jigs)

Hope that helps...

it is mostly about what techniques you like to fish. with the cranks, do you fish lipped or lipless? heavy cover or open water? Short or long casts? Here is a link to a "fishing line guide" that I mostly agree with:
