Best Line

[3li]

What is the best line for bass fishing with no grass and very little structure?

Thanks, Eli

How about a little more info like any cover, water clarity, techniques, bait sizes, spinning or casting gear.

Well, the water clarity is pretty merky. I use the senko and using casting gear.

A lot of personal preference will go into the answer on that one but for me I like something around 15lb fluorocarbon like Seaguar Red Label or InvisX. Another good option in stained water would be to spool up with 50lb braid and put about 5-7' of the same size fluoro on a leader and fish it that way.  Honestly most lines will fish a senko fairly well though as long as you choose the right size (12-17lb is the range I'd try to keep it in with the exception of braid).

Ok, I have never tried fluorocarbon before but I will now.

Thanks!

12lb Invisix would be my choice.

12-14 pound mono would be my choice

Instead asking what is the "best" anything that tends to invites personal bias, try asking what line should I use for this application, saves time.

Merky water, how far can you see a white Senko sink before it disappears? Let's say 3'.

Bait casting reels most anglers like no less than 10 lb test line, 12 lb is a good average.

Budget, premium monofilament, including co-polymers, are less expensive than fluorocarbon line and have better knot strength pound for pound.

Any premium mono line brand in 10-12 lb test is good for your application.

Good luck with Seaguar Invisx. I like P-Line CX much better. Less stretch and it is much more abrasion resistant. Less coiling, Cast better. 15# & 20# are a good choice for cranks.

12lb Invisix would be my choice.

Same here it works great for senko type applications.

For me 15# would be overkill in your situation.  Also the heavier the line, the stiffer it will be.   The stiffer the line, the more it will spring on the reel.  I use 8# mono on the majority of Medium power rods and 12# mono on a majority of MH rods.  Fluorocarbon will have more memory.  I bought a reel that came with InvizX.  Doesn't handle nearly as well as mono in my book.  I like Sufix lines....especially the Neon Tangerine Siege.  Easy to see.  Recently purchased AN40 in those weights, and have spooled 2 reels with 12# and one with 8#.  So far I am pleased with its handling.

 

Given your description of the water, I see no need for a heavy abrasive resistant line.  Crankbaits will reach their running depth quicker with a lighter line (and may even run deeper than with a heavy line).  Casting distance should be a bit better with a lighter line.  Cost can be less with lighter line.  Sounds like a win-win to me.
