    Default What brand, color, and pound test line do you use?

    Trying to keep us focused on fishing and maybe some of the information shared will help someone.

    I use either 4 pound Sufix Elite in hi-vis yellow or 4 pound Gamma co-polymer in hi-vis orange for my spinning and long lining rods. The lines have good strength (especially the Gamma), low memory, and the hi-vis helps to see bites you cannot feel.

    I use Ande 10 pound hi-vis yellow on my tite line rods. The leader below the weight is 6 pound clear BPS Excel. If I get the jig hung up, I can break the leader and only lose it and the jig. I get the weight back. The 6 pound line also doesn't tear up the brush I was hung on.

    I used to use 8/1 and 10/2 PowerPro braid but it would slip through the line counters on my tite lining rods so I got away from it. The smaller diameter line did help keep the line vertical when tite lining. Have not gone back to it since I got the line counter reels because I have a lot of mono to use first.
