What Kind Of Line You Have On Your Baitcasting Reel

[okbassguy]

I just bought a shimano curado and I'm getting a abu garcia stx and was wondering what kind of line you guys use?

[new2BC4bass]

My STX has 40# braid because I use it mainly to throw unweighted worms into lily pads and weeds.  My 50 size Curados have 8# mono, my 201E has 12# mono.

 

Mainly you need to consider type of cover and rod ratings to determine which weight and type of line is best for you.

[BrianinMD]

Anywhere from 12lb flouro to 65lb braid. Need specifics on what you plan to use them for before suggesting line.

[Jrob78]

I have 3 different types of line in about 8-10 different lb tests.  If you're looking for 1 line to be versatile on one or 2 casting rods, I would go with 12 or 14 lb mono.

[WdyCrankbait]

14lb. fluro at least on all my casting reels, except my cranking reel, 14lb. mono.  I am not going to get hung up, or broken off

[Blues19]

I have Mono in  10lb,12lb, and 15lb and Flouro in 12lb and 17lb. Different baits= Different line size

[Turtle135]

I use Trilene Sensation 14 pound test or Trilene XT 14 and 17 pound test, I fish from a kayak so I just carry 2 or 3 rods. I'm looking for my baitcasting setups to be able handle everything from spinnerbaits to football jigs rather than to be technique specific.

I have used braid up to this point on every reel:  power pro 10lb, 15lb, 20lb, 30lb and 40lb, suffix 832 30lb.  This year I'm going to try sunline sniper 7lb and 10lb and some copoly 8lb.

Dont use mono at all anymore, see no reason too.
