What lb braid?

[Slab Slayen]

I’ve decided to switch to braid and I’m curious what size everyone is using ? I plan to use it on all my rods. Casting, spider rigging and trolling rods. I’m a spider wire guy and so far been thinking about 10lb. Opinions? Much appreciated!

I like 12lb Sunline best but use 15-20lb quite a bit for dedicated jigging rods.

I use 10lb power pro and can straighten hooks when hung without breaking off. I’d go 10#.

20 lb kastking. A bit larger so it doesn't get embedded in the spool of line - seems to reel more smoothly.

So there is no consensus?

I use 10/2 braid on jig poles or casting outfits. Spider rig poles and pulling cranks I use 20/8

I use 6lb for slip floats, and 2lb casting light lures.

You'll have peace in the Mideast before you'll ever get consensus on any tackle question.
