Yea what they said, I have pulled many hooks strait with the 6lb Mr. Crappie.
I have used allot of 4lb spider wire mono because it was on clearance at Wal-mart and have been pretty happy with it.

6# trilene xl

Vanish 4# flurocarbon for tight line jigging, Mr.Crappie 4# Hi-Vis for shooting docks

Braid might work for some folks but not for me. Most of the fish I catch I don't have enough line out to warrent using high priced line. Its all about what you feel confident in.

I ditto that as well. That 4# or lighter theory may have it's place in other areas but isn't necessary in the waters in these parts.

I have also been using the yellow 6# Vicious line lately and like it pretty well. Seems to be a little easier to see by these old tired eyes.

6 # Trilene for me.

Minnows? I wouldn't know about that. I use it for all my fishing.

I use Power Pro high vis braid (4 pound diameter) on my long poles I use for vertical jigging. On my shorter rods I use with slip bobbers or casting, I use 8 pound test high vis Mr. Crappie mono.

i am with oss and bwillaub for 90 percent of my fisning for casting i use 6 lb golden stern thats my nickels worth

Just wondering about the braid I was told one time its hard on the eyes and tip of the rod has anyone found this to be true.

Do you have any problem get a lite jig down in windy conditions with braid?
