Senkos; braid? ...Or mono/floro?

I use 20lb braid with a 10lb fluoro leader.

I've been wacky rigging with 10lb Sufix 832 braid with no leader for the past 6 years and have caught hundreds of bass that way, no matter if it's crystal clear water or dirty. Very sensitive and reliable line.

What color line do you use?

I use the low-vis green, although it doesn't hold color after a bit of use. The bass don't seem to mind though. I have colored it black at times. Not sure if it really makes a difference or not.

10lb braid will float very little. I wouldn't change a thing.

I live on the NC coast so most of my fishing on rivers is done around docks, laydowns, and stumps that are covered in barnacles. I switched from 8lb flouro to 30lb up to 50 lb braid with almost a six foot 20 lb flouro leader on a 6'-6" heavy act. spinning combo. I will never go back to flouro or mono for sencos. It was trial and error at first with the leader knot, but I practiced many nights. Most wouldn't use the heavy act. rod but my hookset is a quick wrist snap after I wind down and feel their pressure. Also with the heavy act. rod I have more control of them in cover or to pull them around that dock piling before the barnacles slice the braid.I have one rigged texas weightless for heavy grass and   one rigged with a 1/16oz  3-O Owner TwistLock Swimbait hook. The weighted hook makes the senco kind of shimmy more as it swims horizontally. If it's windy and I'm fishing the weightless in grass I will add a nail weight in between the offset of the hook and the point so it still swims horizontally.  This is just my personal opinion though. I have less issues with line twist as well. I hated flouro on my spinning reel because after two - three trips I was respooling because it was developing to much memory. Braid will last a long long time if it's not left out. I fished eight months last year with the same spool of Power Pro Super Slick Hi Vis Yellow 50lb, just cut a foot or so off when needed to tie on a new leader. The yellow never disappears above the water, so if one breathes on it you'll see it. I'll even take and pull the line all the way off in my yard, cut it retie the end I was fishing with and respool to get to the unused line.. Never had the braid break in that span only a couple of knot failures and toothy fish. We fished at least three saturdays each month in that tournament trail. Once again, you asked for opinions so that is mine. To each his own. Some guys are "Self Proclaimed Pros", so their way is the only way and will say we're doing it wrong even though we are catching fish. Now on  the other hand if I was using a baitcaster to pitch a senco I would go strictly flouro 17-20lb. One exception would be in the pads or grass. I have learned allot from the guys on this site, so I know why you were searching for opinions.. Good luck and may God bless you with bent rods and smoking drags....
