Baitcasting line - mono, flourocarbon, braided?

What is your choice for Texas rig? 12-14 lbs range. Looking for low memory and low backlash tendancy.

I'd be using fluro personally............ ;D ;D ;D

50lb PowerPro braid (12lb diameter) is my choice for Texas rigged plastics. JMHO

flouro will backlash the worst.braid will backlash the least followed by a limp mono.i suggest sufix braid or cajun red cast mono.

i like copolymer lines. i just bought a bunch of gamma line. it's breaking strength is much more than the rated # test. for instance 17#test is rated breaking strength is 34#s. copolymer is a blend of materials, unlike mono is usually nylon. copolymer is more limp and less memory.

Welcome aboard!

Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft #12 (19.5 lb test). In use, this line has virtually no memory. The line is a bonded nylon/ fluorocarbon copolymer. It is highly abrassive resistant, impervious to water and UV light and it floats! No special knot is required.

I have never been broken off by a fish using this line.

For low memory and low backlash tendancy, mono will outperform the flouros (haven't used braid so I don't know in comparison with braid).  However, if you include strength, abrasion resistance and low stretch to your parameters, hybrid would fit the bill.
