Thanks Guys 

I have a Cheap starter reel it is a Abu Garcia Black Max 3 

6:4:1 Gear Ratio.

The setup has worked very well so far though.

Thanks

Thanks OhioFisherman 

Did you find that mono had to much stretch in the line when setting the hook.

Good Point misfish but the reel that i have does not cast 40 pound braid and up very well at least that is what everyone says about the reel it even says on the tag that came with the reel that the braid capacity is 30 pounds 180 yds. So I don't want to go over that.

Thanks

Ok thanks 

I priced out Braid vs fluorocarbon and fluoro was cheaper but yes braid would be a nice option. 

I am throwing a jig for largemouth. So what do you think is 30 pound braid strong enough to fish a jig.

Thanks

Hello everyone 

Hope everyone is having a great day.

I was wondering if someone could help me with something.  I was wondering if 15 pound Fluorocarbon line is strong enough to fish a jig. This is my setup so far. I have a 7' Medium /Heavy  fast action baitcaster with a 6:4:1 gear ratio. I would be fishing it in not a ton of cover but some. I know a lot of guys have braid as there main line and tie on a fluorocarbon leader to that but braid is out of my budget. I just want Strait Fluorocarbon line. If its not strong enough would 30 pound braid be strong enough.  

Thanks Guys
