Ace Angler Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Hey guys, I have a question about line: I have a baitcasting setup that I want to use for everything. What type and pound line should I use? I will be using it for weightless and weighted Texas rigs, jigs, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, and some light topwaters. I appreciate your help in advance. Thanks and tight lines!

Comes down to personal preference. Lots of good lines. I am trying XXX and Mean Green. Like both so far. Quote
Russ E Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Your going to get endless answers here that will be based on personal preferences. Everyone has a different opinion. I don't necessarily pick line for pound rating . More often I choose by line diameter. Every brand and style has a little different diameter of line. They also rate line pound test differently. For the most versatile all around line for a baitcaster I would choose a .013 to .014 inch diameter mono or copoly. Depending on brand and line type that will range from 10 pound test to 15 pound test. 1 Quote

Ppennin986 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 My 2 cents I don’t like baitcasters so I can’t comment there but I like 12# copoly Quote
Super User FishTank Posted March 9, 2020 Super User Posted March 9, 2020 12lb Trilene will do. Personal favorite but not for topwater... 12lb Invizx Quote
