Rig tying

Getting ready for an upcoming trip and want to pre tie up some crappie rigs. Planning on some double minnow rigs, double jig/minnow rig, etc. Nothing crazy but want to have a bunch tied up and ready to go on some pipe insulation. I do the same for catfishing and it saves a lot of time when I get a break off. Question is, should I be using heavier line on the rigs? Just the mainline heavier? Just the "out" lines heavier? Both or neither? I'm using 4# Yo-Zuri hybrid as my main line and have 6#, 8# and even 20# test available for my rigs if I should be tying them with heavier line. What do you guys do?

I use 10lb clear mono. 8lb would probably work just as well.

I like 6 to 8

I have 8lb mono spooled on my rods, I tie my rigs with 8lb florocarbon

Thanks for the replies.

8lb main same on the rigs.

I always go lighter on the leader . Say 10 on main line and 8 on leaders .

Am running 1oz mainly..I run 12lb Vicious fuluoro carbon..practically invisible...10# on anything lighter

I run 10# most of the time. Do yourself a favor, get some snell holders rather than wrap them on pipe insulation. The foam crushes down and your rigs will get loose.
