TBH I thought that was his way of bitching about the penis not being in his mouth.

i usually use a 12 lb or less, but it really all depends. some of the pros or people who bring 10 rods with them will run the same lure on a thicker line to change the depth the lure runs. i usually only bring 2-3 rods with me so i dont worry about all that. ill just change to a shallower or deeper running crank bait to get what i want.

i prefer a thinner, low memory line that is easier to cast. usually a 12 for cranks & spinner or where ill have thicker cover, and use 8-10 for worms and smaller soft plastics

Maxima if I can find it. Anywhere from 10 to 20, but I hate using 20.

P-line if I can not find Maxima.


Big-game if I want to break off every other fish.


So far, I have not liked anything from Sufix. Way too much memory.

Sounds like youve had a bad spool too. I swore it off a couple years ago after breaking alot. Went back to it with good results.

I went with just a 10lb Stren line....where I'll be fishing there really isn't much grass/stumps, etc. I'll report back as to how it went.

notice i said i use the heavier line in thicker cover. i like a smaller line when using finesse worms and small creature baits and stuff, not necessarily in thick cover.

Its great for some applications. Anything in heavy cover, when you need feel for sensitive bites, no give on hook set for heavy hooks etc...
