What is your go-to most versatile line?

[thinkingredneck]

I use 65 lb power pro on BC and 8 lb Berkley fireline on spinners.  Maxima  Mono leader  for shallow stuff, yo zuri fluro leader for deep in clear water.  Straight braid when I can get by with it, which is almost always in our stained and muddy water.

Berkley Big Game 15# ?

 

I know it's strengths & more importantly it's weaknesses!

 

30 double digits across 5 states on Big Game, most in pretty dense cover.

 

@roadwarrior I'm flipping-n-pitching Yo-Zuri Hybrid 20# ?

15 or 17 lb Sunline Armilo Nylon line suits your tackle and presentations.

I just bought some of this line based on WRB’s recommendation and must say I’m really impressed with it. Very low stretch (best I’ve found besides braid) and very manageable.

I'm really surprised by all the Power Pro recommendations.  Not my cup of tea.    I'd go with 30 lb 832.

When I retired and got into bass fishing 20 years ago I had three baitcasters and each had 14lb BPS Excel mono to fish the tidal Potomac with everything.  My spinning reel had 8lb BPS Excel mono and I caught lots and lots of bass and did not lose any.  Amazing how we become victims of product development.

10# yo-zuri hybrid

50lb Suffix 832 with a leader if need be.

My Opinion...

 

Not much you can't do with:

 

Baitcasting: 7' MH/F, 40lb braid, 12-17lb fluoro/mono leader when necessary and/or appropriate.

 

Spinning: 6'6" M/F, 15lb braid, 6-10lb fluoro/mono leader when necessary and appropriate.

 

With these 2 things, I'm confident that I can do almost anything. In fact, add a 6'6" M/F baitcasting setup spooled with 12lb mono for crankbaits, and that's what I typically fish with. Those 3 rigs cover a lot of ground.

I  would go with 15 pound mono/flurocarbon or should you ever throw a frog on the same rod, then 40lb braid.

 

Ideally I would get something like a M/F or MH/MF rod and put on some 12-15lb braid on that, then 40lb braid on my MH/F. That opens up what you can do with it.
