Different styles of crappie fishing require different weight lines IMO. For spider rigging I prefer 8lb line. For trolling I use 6lb. Lots of folks like 4 lb for tightlining but I just stick with the 6.

Hello guys, I was just wondering what's the best test line to use for fishing for crappie, I heard to use 6 lb test line but not too sure, I'm coming back into fishing after being out of it for 10 yrs lol. What i got now is Spiderwire 4 lb, That should be good enough right. Everything is starting to come back slowly to me it seems that I slightly forgot a few things lol. I hate it when that happens...

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
I use 4lb on most of my rods, trolling 95% of the time, just me tho.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
I have 4lb. mono on my ultra light rod. It does just fine.
I love HIM because HE first loved me.
I use 20 pound braid for the main line. I tie on a ball bearing swivel and a 24"-36" mono leader, usually 4-6 pound test. I usually fish for crappie from shore with floats. I always attach my bobber above the swivel. I like it that way because if the jig gets hung up and I can't get it unstuck, I can break it off without losing my float.
Don't worry, catch crappie.
I use 10 & 20 # Braid-High vis Orange with 4" Mono Leaders on either drop shot rigs or flippin.
be flexible.
Here's a few "Line Shy" fish that I scared to death and then put them on ice to chill.
