Line For Spinnerbait, Chatterbait, Buzzbait, Swimjig Rod

[Garret88]

As the title says, I'm going to be using spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, chatterbaits, and swimjigs on one of my setups. What line would be best for overall? I was thinking like a 17# mono. My rod is a 7ft MH/F St croix Mojo bass.

I opt to using floro for that application because of its abrasion resistance, but I don't mind 17lb mono either. I like the stretch in mono for those applications because of a little more delayed hook set. However if I'm in any sorta cover I like the abrasion resistance and less stretch.

I think you have a good setup.  I use two setups for these baits (except for the swim jig), with the only difference being rod length.  I use a shorter rod for throwing around and behind docks.  With both setups I use 30 lb moss green Power Pro braid with three feet of 17 lb mono leader.

Straight 20~30lb power pro.

Yeah, the mono is more for the stretch to let the fish take the moving baits in a bit deeper before hookset.

Yeah, I know the swim jig is kind of the odd man out in that setup, but I dont have a designated setup for it yet, so this is the best I can do for now. I don't use swimjigs a lot so its more for the bladed baits.

20lb mono, that is what i use for those lures and also for lipless cranks.

I would go braid man especially for those techniques .... Don't wanna see anyone get heart broke. Sunline fx2 would do the trick!

[Bluebasser86]

I use either Mustad Ultra line or Pline C21 14-17 pound for all those except the swim jig which I normally fish on my jig rod with 20lb fluoro. Not a fan of braid for moving baits like that because I feel them much faster and react too soon sometimes and pull the bait away from the fish.

15lb CXX

Those are all single hook baits. For me I don't want any stretch. I'd skip the mono and go straight braid or braid and a leader if need be.
