Hello All,
I need everyone's expert advice. Just picked up a new outfit for the year. 6 6 medium fast st croix mojo topwater/jerkbait rod paired with a 200e7. I am torn over what kind of line to put on it because I need it to be versatile as I only have 4 setups that I use. A 7ft heavy action casting setup for heavy cover stuff, a 7 ft mh casting setup for med-large crankbaits, carolina rigging, spinnerbaits, jigs etc, a 7 ft medium spinning outfit for the finesse stuff and now this new combo. I plan on using it for jerkbaits, topwaters (nothing bigger than a spook junior) small 1/8-1/4 ounce jigs and probably some smaller 1/4 ounce crankbaits. I know I can't have the benefits of fluorocarbon because I want to fish topwater with it so....I am thinking:
10 lb mono
12 lb mono
or
30 lb braid with an optional 8 lb leader
Also wanted to pick everyone's brains on your favorite "bang for buck" monos. Used P-line Fluroclear (Copolymer) all last year with o.k results (noticed poor abrasion resistance) but thinking about trying something different.
Thanks everyone!
