What line do you use and why?
I use 15 lb P-Line with a 30 lb leader.
I'm about to get my gear ready for this season, and would like to know what yall find works best.
Thanks in advance.

30# PowerPro braid straight up

#30 braid is excessive, but the diameter of the line is much smaller than mono, so alot of people choose to use the higher strength braid. Good thing about that as long as your knots are tied well, break-off's will be a thing of the past; bad news is that hang up's will leave you cursing. . .
Personally, I have my son's rig setup with 20# braid so that in case his drag is set incorrectly, he won't lose the fish. For my rigs, I use 10# braid, which is more than enough for most of what I fish for. I have a length of 20# mono tied as a leader so that the braid doesn't get caught around the lures/corks.

Braid with 15# leader. Better feel, longer casts, stronger.

#30 power pro. If I feel like it I will occasionally use #20 mono leader.

Braid. on one of my rods I tied a 30# flouro leader just to see if it makes a difference. haven't noticed any real difference and so the leader will likely go when I retie.

30#. Power pro and a 20# flouro leader

PP gets tangled in your hooks, use a flouro leader.
