My boss and coworker are heading out to Lake Fork next week. I have been tasked with spooling some of their reels with fresh line. How heavy of line should I set them up with?

Thanks!

if your not invited id say 6lb should work but if u want to keep your job and or be invited with them i would spool there reels with some braid its all i ever use for all my fishing needs if your fishing clear water they have white braid and also camo braid which i find works pretty dang good

65lb braid is about the same diameter as 12lb mono

I have some old triple fish 4# that I was going to give them. Being my boss is ex Marine Recon I decided its best not to tick him off ;D

Thanks for the help.

I was there two years ago and fished my standards without issues:

Spinning tackle:  Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft #6

Baitcasting: original formula or Ultra Soft #12

I use 20# Fireline with a 12" to 18" fluorocarbon LEADER. Not just the fluorocarbon line but the leader line. This allows me to have a heavy tough line with thin diameter to take the punishment to horse them out of the thick stuff and an almost invisible fluorocarbon line near the lure. The Fireline takes the brunt of the punishment and I get the castability of the Fireline on my baitcasters with the invisibility of Fluoro. Tie them together with a surgeons knot and all should be fine. I have never had a line failure while catching some nice Lake Fork Bass in some tough conditions.

You will need the clear Fluorocarbon leader with the sight fishing also.

Good Luck <' ))>>>>><
