The type of line I use depends on the application.

Trolling: I use 30/8 Power Pro braid

Jigging <20: I use 8# Trilene XL mono

Jigging >20 (including ice fishing): I use 15/4 Power Pro braid

Casting cranks: I use 30/8 Power Pro braid

Tip up/leaders: I use 10# Seagar Fluorocarbon Leader material

I am planning on experimenting with some of the new Sufix 832 braid this summer if I get a chance.

biggrin I agree with Fin Power Pro and 10#Seagar or Vanish.. I like green but, brother and fishin buddy both use white.. Personal preferance I guess no right or wrong answer here, same as poundage whatever works for you.. Jiggin, well I am a stren guy everyone else I know uses Trilene XL or XT..lol Have not been happy with Stren lately. Even e-mailed and this is what they said......

I too like Powerpro. I think I have 30/8 on my trolling rods, but it might be 40/10, the age thing showing again... Then I use a 17 pound test leader of flourocarbon leader (3-4) feet. Not so much for fooling the fish as to be able to grab the line if I don't want to lift a fish in the boat. The Powerpro can slice you up! I use 20/6 on both my jigging rod and casting rod. You can cast a spinnerbait a country mile with the 20/6 Powerpro and the stuff lasts forever so it's nice not having to respool every year. Damn, talking about this makes me want to go fishing now! Usually about this time (but maybe another week this year) the pike start getting really active in the new weed beds. Not big ones, but lots of action.
