Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Fireline Hi Viz braid, 10#/4# diameter for everything except shootin docks. If the water happens to be really clear I'll use a clear floro leader...but the Texas lakes I fish usually aren't clear enough to worry about it.

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.
Seaguar Senshi 4# and 6#
i pitch jigs most of the time and prefer Mr. crappie or
Vicious Hi Vis in 4# Test. Have tried a number of other
lines and find myself going back to the ones that work
for me.
p-line premium, #6 and #8, try it you will like it. the very best all around mono out there. in my testing it breaks about a lb higher than what the label says. and the diameter is smaller that others of the same strength.
