Thread: Line weight?

Stren Hi Viz 8#

I use Mr Crappie 6 lb Hi Vis for crappie, and Mr Crappie 8 lb Hi Vis and Stren clear blue 12 lb test for cats, walleye, bass, etc. Cheap and works for me.

8 lb is perfect
Give Mr Crappie line a try
Best line I have used for sac a lait.
You can get it in camo or flouresant green

I use the Stren hi vis 8 lb for my main line and then tie off leaders of 6 lb, that way I can break the leader off if necessary and keep my main line.

I use 6 or 8 lb yellow fluorescent Mr. Crappie string with a 2 ft flouracarbon leader. I have seen firsthand the difference of using this leader and it was astounding. My partner was fishing with the leader and was outcatching me 4 to 1. I added the leader and immediately caught just as many as he did. He had always told me that , but I didn't believe him. I do now.
