Does anyone use braid line to pull cranks?

Just wondering what most people use to pull carank baits with.
Would like here what you use.

I use 10 pound Mr Crappie hi-vis line on all my trolling reels. I figure if I get hung up, it's better to break off and lose one bait than it is to tangle up all 8-10 baits trying to retrieve one. When trolling Bandits, I purposely avoid the brushpiles and stumps that I spider-rigging in. I work deeper cuts and contour breaks with the Bandits.

I use 10-2 braid. I use the Tuf Line because it cost less, but have used the 10-4 Fire Line Crystal also. I use a leader with it. I have used it without a leader with the same catch results. I can't see that you lose any fish with it either. I don't lose any more than I did with mono. People say it pulls out because it doesn't stretch, but I haven't seen that. In the long run, it cost less because you don't have to change it out year after year. I have a friend that uses 30-8 because he fishes timber with his cranks, and he saves more cranks with the heavier line because he can pull em out of the wood with it. He also fishes a CLEAR water lake, and it doesn't affect his.catch rate. He doesn't use a leader, and he likes the Power Pro Hi Vis.

I have used 10lbs braid with a 6lbs mono liter, but that is with open water areas with little structure in the way. The mono allows for just enough give to not pull the hook out of the mouths that can happen sometimes with braid.

Use 15-4 Power Pro yellow so I don't loose as many bandits.

i use 30 lb powerpro,u can save cranks when u get hung up and the braid lasts for years

The heavier the line the less action you get. Thats the reason I use a mono liter. Use a light liter and you get tons more action on the bait.

10lb visicous hi viz yellow, really like the line and it's fairly cheap. Just got a 1250yd spool of 6 & 10 each at $8/ea + sh
