Roy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 You can use 30lb mono but I'd go the heavy dacron. The black line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Mono would probably be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 dacron works on the tip ups for the jig sticks, 14-17 trilene xt with a wire leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I've gotten some great feedback on the Tuf-line Duracast because the coating it does not hold water. I've found that to be accurate with the lighter test but have not used the heavier LB myself. Edited January 23, 2012 by Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I use 20# Power Pro and deal with the freeze up issues. Might have to try some of that Duracast line though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Wire leader I would think,no matter what line your using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
