If you could only use one line... 2025

Missourifishin reply :

one line FOREVER. Mono, fluoro, braid, copoly? What pound test? Feel free to include a specific brand of choice. Also, braid with a leader is NOT an option.

Just one type of line, including the weight of the line, forever.

OntarioFishingGuy reply :

I hate to say it, but 10lb mono. I hate using it when bass fishing, but it's so darn versatile.

7# Sniper

ABW reply :

14 lb sniper

Looking for the big one reply :

I would have to say 10 lb Trilene XT. Can use it on spinning gear for finesse applications, or you can use it on a baitcaster for about everything.

Looking for the big one reply :

And it floats so you could use topwaters. It would stink if you had to use it for flipping or for frogging.

A-Jay reply :

This may be hard for some of the younger BR members to believe, but before the advent of braided line, some of us actually hooked & landed very respectable bass from various weedy type cover with monofilament line; and thought nothing of it.

Now, is braid a better choice for this and some other applications, many believe so. And do I use it for this application now, yes definitely. But the truth is in the last 3 or 4 years, every bass I've taken over 8lbs, was landed on mono.

Just sayin'

WIGuide reply :

I'd probably have to go with 10 or 12 lb Berkley XT. It wouldn't be the best for all situations, but it could get the job done.
