graham Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 What method, Float fishing, Bottom bouncing or casting hardware? I like the Raven hi-vis line for my Centerpin reels in 8lb. Other popular lines include Ande, Siglon F and Maxima Green in 6 to 10lb. I use 6lb Gamma for my casting rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 On my float rods I run green or grey 12# Raven, casting rods get 12# silver thread and 15# power pro on the bottom bouncing rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choices Drifter, I've used 10lb Power Pro for bottom bouncing. Awesome for sensitivity, you feel everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapala14 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I use Trilene XT (preferably in clear) for throwin hardware (kiwik fish/flatfish, spinners, spoons etc). Great knot strength, super abrasion resistant just an all round great line. Haven't tried the super braids for steelheadin yet. Probably should give it a shot haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 8 - 10 lb clear line.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm a hardware steelheader and traditionally for me it's been 6lb or 8lb mono depending on the rod and condition. For the last 2 years I've had a spool of 15lb braid in my vest that I haven't yet pulled out to try. Maybe this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
