I did that 1st chief, thanks

SGT Rico reply :

50# Braid and 15#-20# flouro if needed. If I don't have to use a leader, I don't.

kickerfish1 reply :

You can fish both ways with great success. Braid and floro both excel for jig fishing. I have used both and typically prefer to use straight floro rather than braid with and without leaders. You really can go wrong here... just personal preference.

So being rude to the guy helps his question at all? I hate this everytime a person asks a d**n question about something, someone that has been here less that a year pops up telling them to use the search feature. Thats the entire point of an INTERNET DISCUSSION FORUM.

To the OP, I use straight braid in staind water as around here there is more staind that not. The heavy braid lets me get most of my jigs back when I get hung up.

LgMouthGambler reply :

65# braid, straight. I pitch into the slop.

Bankbeater reply :

15# Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Big Game.

Wasn't trying to be rude. It's just a fact that using the search function will provide you with more jig line content from the number of previous posts that asked the same question than one post will.....

Lots of time users that have explained this particular question in detail(or any other subject)numerous times won't post a detailed answer since they have time and time again. Making a decision is more (personally) based on "why" than "what"

Using the search function will help any user find these making it more valuable than just one topic.

ww2farmer reply :

It all depends on the situation. Pitching into wood, rocks, under docks, into moderate weeds I use 30lb braid with either a 15 or 20lb fluorocarbon leader. Flipping,punching or pitching into very thick weeds/brushy wood cover ( I don't use jigs for this much tho, mostly pegged t-rig plactics) straight 50lb braid. Dragging football jigs around deep water cover, depends, I never go much heavier than 10lb braid w/ 8lb fluoro leader when smallmouth fishing, and usualy 20 or 30 lb braid with 10,12,or 15 lb fluoro largemouth fishing.

Siebert Outdoors reply :

Most of my jig fishing is done with 15lb flouro.

dave reply :

I keep switching back and forth between 50# Power Pro and 15# Yozuri Hybrid. The braid wrapping and catching on guides and tips and hook hangers and...

Then there's the noise through the guides. Maybe it's just me.

craww reply :

30lb braid with a 12 Hybrid leader or 12lb Hybrid. Tried flouro, its okay but not the end all be all.

bowhunter63 reply :

50 lb Spider wire,No leader.

Mike L reply :

50# Power Pro or 20# Invisix

Diggy reply :

Thanks for all of the input and reccs. I'll try a few different set ups for different jig types.

00 mod reply :

15# flouro for most bottom applications. 12# yo-zuri hybrid for swim jigs. Just ask zip-pow about fishing the lilly pads at Guntersville. He swore I would break off in the pads with my yo-zuri. 6 fish later and he was a believer!

Jeff

A-Rob reply :

65# power pro

12# yo zuri on my worm rod may throw the finesse jig when needed

15#mono big game on my spinnerbait rod will throw the swimming jig when finesse is needed

SoFlaBassAddict reply :

15 to 20 pound fluoro or 50 pound braid. Depends on what I'm doing.

bkohlman reply :

15 lb mono for me

skeletor6 reply :

I've had success with 12# fluorocarbon, don't need the extra strength as many of you have posted.

You are right, I've started topics that pertained to information somewhat already covered. Sometimes you want to get a general concensus for yourself where you can put your own information into the question for your own type of lakes and cover jig sizes etc that you are fishing.

I just seen iabass's point as being, there are many very informed people who spent a great deal of time replying and giving their informed advice on other threads like these. I would assume some of those people will not respond to this because it has been covered before. He did not tell the OP that he should not have made the thread. He was just saying searching would give him good results as well. I think iabass's comments came across as he should not have made the thread which would be a rude comment. I don't think that is what he was saying. Also, he gave his input on what line he uses so he contributed to the OP's question. I dont know why it was a problem he had valid point which I eluded to with a few links I found in minimal time that are all at least 2 pages in depth.

As a side note: People do change their lines. Someone might have used braid a few months ago and decided to go to yo-zuri. So results and concensus can change as well. So new topics are important and keeps discussions alive.

mods please toss this thread away before it gets into a war, lock it and throw away the key asap

J Francho reply :

Products and information is constantly evolving. You can use the search to get some background, and if you still have questions, just post up!

Now let's get back to the original question!

skeletor6 reply :

OP are you at all concerned with the different brands of these lines that we are using? I just mentioned the pound test in mine.

If so, I use 12# Seaguar Tatsu and 12# Shooter both coated with KVD Line and Lure.

If I had a cheaper rod I would probably using braid to fish these techniques and would use Daiwa Samurai with any fluoro leader in equal diameter test. Samurai is good stuff.

There is a sale for buy one get one free Sunline FC Sniper and if you are considering fluorocarbon jump on it. The line is very nice for the price and is the middle ground between manageability and sensitivity.

Diggy reply :

I have 12lb seguar red label and 12 bps fluro...I wasnt a fan due to breaking but I'm willing to try something else in a heavier test. Not sure if a full spool or just leader material.

I have #12lb yo zuri spooled that I can use for finesse jigs, some of my other reels have 50-65lb braid so I'm covered there

I'm not the best jig fisherman but I'm going to try to make myself a much improved jig user.

Kachok reply :

50lbs power pro and a heavy action ugly stick, works like a charm on any bass, heck I catch my bull redfish and blacktip sharks on that rig too.

Mike__D reply :

40 to 50 pound ultra cast spiderwire braid tied to a 15 or 17 pound trilene fluro leader.
