If you had only one rod (Baitcaster 7ft MH), to use for all of your baits, and all of your fishing....what would be your best preferred line to use, for handling everything?
I'd probably put 10 or 12 pound Yo Zuri on it. Set it and forget it. What could be simpler?
Black sewing thread...definetely black sewing thread
With a mustad hook for sure
#30 Power Pro.
In my area it would be 12# mono or co-polymer.
I'd go with 30lb braid, an assortment of leaders and a Revolver . . . .

Hahaha!
With all due respect, I would quit fishing!
The Answer is, Yozuri #12, tomorrow I may say #10, so.. 10 or 12, lol
2 votes for Yo-Zuri. Both for mono I presume.
Ok, why Yo-Zuri rather than other brands of mono?

I'm assuming they are talking about Yo-zuri hybrid. Its a copolymer.
20 or 30 lb Super Slick with a couple different fluoro leaders; Probably 12lb and 16-17lb.

You may be right
So theres 3 votes for braid.
Im kind of leaning away from braid though. Only because Im finding that I dont have much need for neither its great strength, or great sensitivity.
All of my fish are/have been caught by pulling a bait with a slow, steady retrieve, through water that is mostly devoid of vegitation.
But I'll take this into consideration.

Yeah. It's kind of a big hit on this forum as well as being a good choice if one only had one line to use.
If leaders could be used, I'd chose braid though.

Im not famiiar with it at all. But I will check it out. What are some of its best attributes?
I rarely fish with copolymer. I have bought some before made by P-line. Its supposed to attain all the attributes of mono, but with the fluoro coating, it is supposed to be invisible...... It fished like mono, that's all I remember. I have since switched to braid on every rod that is used for single hook baits and frogs. I just tie on leaders.
The only attribute I would find truly appealing about copolymer vs mono would be the added abrasion resistance due to the fluoro coating. Fluoro is not invisible.

I guess yozuri put a new twist on copolymer lines. Interesting, but I think I'll stay with braid with a leader.
I started on it in 99 been pretty impressed with it over the years, especially in rocks/riprap, I still use it in #20, flipping/pitching.. The stuff is just tough as nails..some folks don't care for its handling characteristics, it doesn't bother me at all.
Does it float?On 3/20/2015 at 8:04 AM, Alonerankin2 said:I started on it in 99 been pretty impressed with it over the years, especially in rocks/riprap, I still use it in #20, flipping/pitching..

To some extent, but not as you may relate to say, braided line, or dry mono, ( before mono absorbs)On 3/20/2015 at 8:07 AM, Jiggin said:Does it float?
Yo doesn't absorb water, like mono. I use # 8 crankbaiting a lot.. Pretty much # 4 to # 20 on most things. I do use other lines though. Sounds like your successful with braid/ leader, I wouldn't change either I suppose, if I were content with it.
I was considering trying it with spooks and other treble hook topwaters. I usually just throw straight mono with those. I'll probably just stick with regular mono. I dont see any advantages of copolymer for those techniques, especially if it doesn't float.On 3/20/2015 at 8:21 AM, Alonerankin2 said:To some extent, but not as you may relate to say, braided line, or dry mono, ( before mono absorbs)
