What kind of line to do you normally T-rig?

[pauldconyers]

Talking about on a baitcaster here. I am not talking about punching or flipping a jig or something. Say on a 7' Med Fast rod and a reel with say 30 IPT. I am talking about T-rigging a worm, hula grub, a rage bug, possibly something with a little more movement like a fluke. You using mono, fluoro or braid? What pound strength? Is there a prevailing thought here or is it all just personal preference?

16# Sniper in moderate cover

20# Shooter in heavy cover

Personal preference: for what you describe Id use 14/16 sniper for light to moderate cover.

[MN Fisher]

Light to moderate cover I shoot with my Trion loaded with 12# FC

Heavier cover it's the President with 20# Braid...no leader

[matbellon3]

30 lb braid to a 12-16 lb fluorocarbon leader dependent upon the type of cover.  

[scaleface]

My worm rod has 17lb clear blue fluorescent Trilene xl . Its .015 inches in diameter . When line watching I like the lines that glow from UV light then disappears under water .

[Jrob78]

12-17 pound fluoro, depending on what rod, bait and cover, another vote for Sniper.

[Choporoz]

40# yellow Power Pro with 8-10# YZH leader

[Catt]

Berkley Big Game 15# ?

[Log Catcher]

For a jig or Texas rig I use Sunline Super Florocarbon 12#.

[CrankFate]

8-17lb stren purple.

 

Or

 

10-15lb seguar fluorocarbon.

 

On a leader tied to 6-20lb braid. I only fish braid main line for all fishing.

This is how I do it too around anything besides grass and pads.  In the grass & pads I will just go with straight braid to eliminate additional snag points.

[LionHeart]

50 lb (easy for me to see) Yellow Power Pro and 12 lb Big Game mono leader.  

[J.Vincent]

Usually Cajun Red 14lb Monofilament ; but I also like PLine CXX 10 to 15lb and Spiderwire Ultimate Mono 10 -14lb

[ohboyitsrobby]

15lb seaguar invizx or 15 lb cxx. 

[MIbassyaker]
