Line For Topwater Walking Baits

[Kevin22]

Can you guys recommend a good line for topwater walk the dog type baits? I want mono for sure. I am currently using 17# stren original Since I am throwing the little 3.5" sammy style and not the 4.5" version I think I want to downsize to 14lb so I can get more line on the reel, with the smaller bait I should be alright with a lighter line right? . With a couple casts today I was within 20' of my backing at the end of the cast. Would 14# be suitable or should I stick with 17? Although the stren is doing the job, I feel that since there is quite a bit of memory to it that I am not getting the best action out of the lure. What mono's do you guys like for walking baits?

i throw sammies and spooks on 15# for the occasion fish run me into weeds on weed lines. if it were all open water i'd be using 12. i use trilene xl. my top water rod is a ltb68mxf so the stretch the line gives compensates for the xf tip.

I had great luck with suffix elite 14lb, it casts well. Suffix siege has more abrasion resistance if needed.

 

I also like Trilene XL, havent used the xt but I heard its good also.

12 lb Suffix siege has been working great for me on buzz baits and spooks.

The Sufix monos are great. I prefer the Elite but both are really good.

Use sufix elite for my top water, seige is a great line as well. I use it on another setup.

I use stren brute strength 12#. I'm partial though bc my parents named me after the company lol

I would second the folks that mentioned Trilene XL and suffix siege. I have both rigged up right now. I prefer 10-12# as I typically fish these baits on "edges" of rip rap, weed lines, points, and over submerged islands. Seems to do well with pop and walking style topwater baits.

14lb Mustad Ultra Line for me, can't break the stuff and very abrasion resistant. Plus a local camping store sells the 1lb spools of it for $10 apiece for some reason It's something like 5,000 yards of line on a spool of 14lb I think.

IF I'm gonna use mono, I use 10# Big Game.

Triline and big game are great lines, but IMO suffix siege- elite is the bomb. Very happy with it. Use it on my TW hard bait and my buzz bait rod

I use power pro super slick in 65# test with a leader of mono 15# bG

Hit up dicks for some line. Got some seaguar red label for $6, sufix siege for $5 and I grabbed three 1/4lb spools of big game for $5 a spool.
