Brand of line for baitcaster and lighter lures - recommendations

[mheichelbech]

Is there any brand of line that is favored for casting lighter lures on a baitcaster?  Last night I was trying Sufix Elite 14lb with a floating worm and had a lot of trouble versus the 12 lb Big Game I had previously used.  At this point I am changing back to 12lb or maybe even 10 lb Big Game unless someone can point me to something better.  I should add that the fishing conditions are normally not big bass but does have a lot of close quarters fishing.

 

Thanks!

I use 20lb PP Super Slick 8. It works great for weightless plastics.

I have been using 30 lb J Braid on my baitcasting reels. It has .011 diameter and seems to work well and it is very reasonably priced.

30# PowerPro.

Thanks...does the braid cast easier than mono in this situation?  Looking for the best line I can throw for just lightweight baits generally..mostly floating worms, 4 inch worms and such.

I use 30lb 832 for this and it works really well, as would any quality braid.  It takes a little getting used o fishing braid versus mono, but it's much, much more manageable because of it's limpness and lack of memory.

My personal preference is 8# line for light stuff like that.  That is if it is on a Medium rod.  If on a ML rod I often use 6#.  I'm mostly using Big Game, Siege and AN40.

For real light lures, gamma torgue 10 or 20 lb

30# braid will cast light lures better than 12# mono, IMO. It's limper and has no stretch, to boot. I like it for single hook presentations. But if you get too light with it, it tends to dig into the spool when you set a hook or have to yank on it. I usually use a spinning rod with 20# PowerPro for what you're describing.
