Re: Your Most Used Line Size
It really works for everything other than very heavy cover or very finesse applications. I do like 12lb fluoro now for weightless plastics, but braid would be my second choice.SteveSchmelzle wrote:I buy 30lbs braid in 3000 yard bulk spools...IlliniDawg01 wrote:I'm pretty sure I could use 30lb braid for absolutely everything and be pretty happy. I prefer to tie on an appropriate leader in most cases, but 30lb braid is thin enough and strong enough to work for most any application adequately.

owning almost 50 combo's, and fishing for 10+ species, I bet 30lbs braid is on 40 of those 50 combo's....
only thing I change is the strength of the flouro leader.

I think the question is incorrect, because it is depend from kind of fish, conditions like wind, rocks etc., boat or shore fishing, kind of reel, methods of casting, distance, yours wallet size etc.....

60lb braid. I have 4-5 combos with it, the rest all have different strengths of braid, fluoro, and mono.
I like TD-Z's

Re: Your Most Used Line Size
I use 12 lb test Tatsu flouro for almost everything. It's strong enough to set the hook as hard as I can without breaking and for Northeast Ohio I don't have line breakage issues with it. Anything lighter and I break on hooksets and anything heavier I lose casting control and distance. For cranking its 10 lb mono.
Re: Your Most Used Line Size
30lb braid and 14-16lb sniper fluro leader on ~90% of setups
