I actually use a 900 lb test nylon braid- white color. Kinda looks like pull rope. I like it because it's easier on my hands than twine and use the cut pieces for all kinda other uses after the season. Some of the twines are way thinner but actually have higher test strength. I have never had one break the line but have had 4 or 5 straighten the hook ( mostly after they got on the bank). If I was u I would get so
me 14/0 hooks and whatever line you wanted to use. I have seem some really big alligators caught on what appears to be rediculously thin line.

You need a good bit of diameter so you can hold on to it without it cutting into your hand. Also makes it easier to untangle off cypress knees and shite.

We used mustad hooks and I don't recall ever having one straighten out. They're expensive.
