Any name brand #4 mono....like Triline XL or Stren or Cabela's Proline that I have been using for about 15-18 years now without any issues....just keep it simple with small 1/32 jigs and a small slip bobber or I just use a small foam cigar bobber. Catch lots of crappie, bluegills and pumpkin seeds....all good eats. Oh, a longer 6.5' or 7' rod really helps you cast that light stuff, especially on those windy days....short rods are not good for this kind of fishing.

 

Have Fun,

Bob

4 lb Trilene XL...The only line you'll ever need for pannies. Don't let anyone tell ya you need that fancy stuff...

X2...it's all I have used for years. I like the green line myself.

I had always liked the 4lbs magnathin or Stren 2-4lbs

I'm kinda partial to the P-line Fluoroclear. Its a combo of mono coated in fluoro. Same qualities as mono, only more abrasion resistant.

 

I haven't had any issues with it so far.

 

I use 2-4lb myself on a 7' ultralight.
