What line should I buy?

[lmobass22]

So I've been debating/searching for what type, brand and pound test to use for my bait caster set up

I am new to bait casters and rather new to bass fishing so if I could get some info on what to get that would be awesome

I would like to use the combo as an all combo  

The reel is a lew's american hero speed spool 6.4:1

thanks for the help!

If you're just learning, I'd go with some cheap and manageable, like Yozuri Hybrid or Berkley Big Game in 10 or 12 lb test.

+1 with you being new to bait casting gear I wouldn't spend to much on higher end lines because you are probably going to be stripping it off after a big ole birds nest.

12lb. mono would be a good line to start with. Supple enough that it won't be jumping off the spool on the cast. Strong enough for single hook applications like spinnerbaits and worms, Although there is some stretch to it, that can be beneficial when using cranks and top waters and because it floats, it's a great option for top water applications.  Oh yea, it's also the least expensive.

I'd recommend braid. It's super limp and manageable, and I've found backlashes are a lot easier to pick out with braid than mono or copolymer.

If you are new to baitcasters begin with a good mono.  12 lb to 15 lb.  Once you get the hang of it then I would upgrade to a good quality fluoro.  15lb for all purpose.  I use Seaguar InvizX

12# Sufix Elite.  Soft, very manageable line.  Better than Big Game to learn on IMO because it will have less memory.  Trilene XL is another line similar to Elite.

I also might be the oddball but I will recommend braided line too. This is what I started out on, and it worked for me. Backlashes were very easy to pick out.

I got some Daiwa j braid to try and so far it seems like really great line. I'll probably choose it over power pro super slick from now on. Just keep your brakes turned up until you get the hang of it. I think backlashes are a lot easier to pick out of braid and it won't get damaged like mono. Maybe spool up with cheap mono just to get your fundamentals down, then strip it off and move on to better line.

12 mono suffix or big game.

I would agree. Mono is a usually better when you are first starting out, plus its best for all around line. When I was first starting out, Berkley Big Game was my go to line. Plus you can get 900-1500 yards worth for around $10

I learned how to use baitcasting reels on braid. I do suggest whatever line you end up choosing, create a monofilament backing by filling your spool with some cheap mono first, then you can connect your more expensive braid or fluoro to the rest of your spool. This way you can spend less on expensive lines.

ive tryed both mono and braid and i like braid alot more.

[EricTheAngler]

Big game supporter here, Im good with baitcasters and still use 12 pound big game!

[A fisher]

A cheap mono

[Chris at Tech]

I'd recommend mono.  Regardless what line you use, I recommend you tape the spool about 20 yards deeper than a long cast'
s worth of line to minimize losses when you get backlashes.
