What Size Line For Baitcaster When Throwing Jerkbaits And Weightless Senkos?

[mattk22]

For those of you that use baitcasters to throw hard jerkbaits and weightless senkos, what size line do you use?  I use the same rod for both of these applications.  I have always used 12lb Floro (Sunline Sniper), but thinking of going to 10.

10 and 12 pound test are perfect for that application.

I use 12, I would use 10 if I didn't have fish with teeth around

You gotta consider what your throwing in to, I like 14 or 15lb test when I'm fishing around the trees and grass out here... (For Senkos)

I use 12 for both as well. I wouldn't be against using 10 either. I think you're good either way.

Hard jerks baits, as in pointers, I use #8

Senkos, #6 all the way to #20 depending on size, rigging method & cover type as well as having a general understanding of the ( bass ) size potential of the water I'm fishing..Cover probably trumps all other considerations, ultimately

8-10 for jerks, and senkos if you use drag. If you are a "tighten it down and rip em out" type of guy then you probably want 14/15 for senkos.

I get better hooksets with 12# I found 10# had too much stretch.

I fish a great deal of thick grass and stumps in Toledo Bend so I go with a little bigger line. I use 12# for Jerkbaits and I use 15# to 17# on Senko's. If I was forced to use the same line for both I would try to settle on maybe 12# to 14# if the 14# would work the jerkbait the way I wanted. The other guys have given you very good info.
