4# and 10#,I get same amout of hits on both lines...just cheap line works fine for me
I usually spool with 4 pound omniflex. Even big walleyes will hit it so I don't see why bluegill wouldn't; and at 2 dollars for 700 yards I can respool every trip. If you want a really thin line though you might look at fire line.
The 2 pound test comes out at .003. That's pretty small line; it also costs 18 dollars for a box.

6 LB. STREN ORIGINAL FLORECENT CLEAR BLUE .![]()
I use Trilene XL 6-pound in low-vis green.
4lb BP Excel, I think its repackaged Stren.
I use 4# test Fireline Crystal with a 3' section of 4# test fluorocarbon. I also have a second rod with me filled with 2# test Trilene XL. Have landed quite a few big bluegill, crappie, yellow perch and even hatchery rainbows on both these rigs with no difficulty. It's amazing to me how strong that 2# mono is. With a good drag you can handle anything. However, in dense cover, no doubt I would use the Fireline rig.
