    Default Best line for casting small jigs


    I use 1/64 and 1/32 jigs and cast them with ultralight outfits ...and generally use 4 lb test line. I am currently using the fireline crystal or green (dont like the smoke). This is a good line for fishing timber as most times I can pull my hook out (bend it out) by using a steady pull when I am hung up... don't lose some many jigs that way. I am constantly wondering what may be the best line to use? I want a line that will cast far, has little memory, is invisible to the fish, holds a knot, and has strength. Don't want much, do I?

    So , I bet you folks out there have some recomendations.

    If you're catchin fish on what you now use, why change? I use a hi vis, inexpensive 4 lb mono I bought at BPS and lose jigs pretty regular. I like the hi vis, especially in low lite conditions, and get a good cast out of it. Haven't had it break on a big fish yet, but I also don't re-tie often enough and have had it chafe. You might be on the right track and I could learn from you. Tight lines.

    Gamma copolymer. Limpest, strongest, most abrasion resistant 4# line on the market now, and still very thin.
    Good things come to those who bait.

    I like Bass Pro, Excell mono in the 4 lb. for panfish. Also use it in the bigger sizese for bigger fish, and have never had a problem with it. And you cant beat the price, 8 bucks for 1500 yards.
