Spinning only for me (Don't throw a book at me just yet.)
On the cheap, Sufix 8# (Top, plastics, limited cranks)
Feeling spendy, Seguar InvisX Fluoro 10# (Cranks and I really do try to throw topwater with fluoro. It's tricky.)
Praying I don't lose my new Japanese made lures: 30# Power Pro (Anything and everything, you'll never lose your darn lure with this stuff. Just P-U-L-L and hold on for dear life.
Keep in mind, I fish in a creek that's about 3ft deep maximum.

tomustang reply :
P-line CX and C21. Use to use Gamma but they don't like store stocking anymore.
Power Pro for braid.
Hyrule Bass reply :
All mono all the time for everything except for one baitcaster that has 17# fluorocarbon
for the mono its big game, stren, and trilene XL and/or XT...various sizes...
outdoorsman110 reply :
I just picked up Suffix Performance Braid last week and for some reason I like it, but I think it's equal to PowerPro.
WookieeJedi reply :
I use both the Suffix and Power Pro for braid. For mono, I use Cajun Red. The rest is Flouroclear for everything else. I used straight FC for about a minute, but the knot strength just isn't what I want it to be, so I went with the flouroclear. Pretty soon, FC line will be improved to the point where I go back to it, just not now.
rbreedi1 reply :
Sufix Elite 8lb for spinning and 12lb for casting. Power Pro 65lb for flipping/pitching/froggin.
14blackmaxreels reply :
I like 10lb green stren.I have Berkley Trilene Line on one reel and i don't care for it at all.Trilene seems a little weaker then Stren of the same size...
Capt.Bob reply :
Ultra light action spinning rigs, Stradic and Saros 1000 size reels- 6Lbs. test Fireline with 4-6 feet of 4 Lbs. test Seaguar Abrazx for leader joined with a Blood knot
light and ML action spinning 1000 size or 2500 size Symetre Stradic and Sustains, use 10 Lbs.test Fireline with 4-10 feet 6 -12 Lbs. test Seaguar Abrazx for leader joined with Blood Knot My low profile reels on ML rods gets 20 Lbs. tracer Braid!! (tried 15 Lbs tracer Braid and had problems) same leaders.
Medium action15 Lbs test Tracer braid, these rods use the 2500 size Symetre Sustains and Stradics, my low profile Bait cast reels on medium rods get 20 Lbs. test tracer braid. both get 6-10 feet of 8-12 Lbs
Medium Heavy spinning gets 4000 Sustains and Stradics with 20 LBS fireline Braid, I use 6-12 feet of 12 to 20 Lbs. Seaguar abrazx and on my medium heavy low profile and round reels on bait cast rod the reels get 30Lbs Fireline Braid and same length leader but as strong as 25 Lbs. test Abrazx.
My Heavy Bait Cast rods with Calcutta’s get 65 LBS fireline Braid and Vicious Fluorocarbon from 25-45 Lbs. test joined by a Blood Knot or a Seaguar Knot, and then leaders from 20" to 36" made up with 150lbs. test Ball Bearing swivels and 100 Lbs.test Cross Lock Snaps on 130 Lbs. test Vicious leader material that I personally build myself.
I have always used Fireline since its introduction, going to a blood knot joined mono or fluoro leader of lighter weight, I am now converting all over to fireline braidsince it came out, as every 4 years they get new line. Almost always I run my reels for 2 years and turn the line around on the spools and run 2 more years, once in a while I that will only last one season on each end but it's rare. Leader material is mostly 250 yard spools and last a long time if kept out of the sun and elements when not in use. In stained water I will go to Trilene Big Game 1LBS spools, very abraision resistant and excelent knot strength, super cheap.
Fat-G reply :
CXX in 25# and 30# test, PowerPro and Suffix Performance in 65# and 80#, very rarely 6-8# Izorline XXX (?) or CXX on a Stradic, and Big Game 30# when I run out of my 2700 yd spools of CXX. I just wish CXX didn't get stretched out, but obviously it does. I bent out a 4X treble with the 30# a week ago. It's really the only line I like to use for what I now do.
KYntucky Warmouth reply :
I use a mix of different line currently but usually recommend some type of P-line copoly. I use CX, CXX, and Flouro-Clear the most, usually Flouro-Clear for cranks, jerkbaits, and spinning; CXX in 10-12lb and 20lb; and CX from 12-17lb.
tholmes reply :
Spinning: 2# - 8# Trilene XL
Casting: 10# - 20# Trilene Big Game.

JellyMan reply :
Pline Fluoroclear 10lb on my baitcaster for shore line soft plastics and flipping soft plastics, and 12lb Trilene XL on my other baitcaster for top waters and anything I am reeling back to the boat.
But I change depending on conditions I am fishing. I am so far really digging the Pline Fluoroclear! Casts awesome, sensitive, and abrasion resistant. I still get stretch too which I like! I like so set the hook hard.
von reply :
6# or 8# P-line Flouroclear for spinning set ups.
65# Suffix braid for flipping/pitching
20# Segaur Red Label for football jigs
16# Sunline Super Natural for everything else
RevoSEMIpro reply :
Sunline Supernatural for anything requiring mono.
Suffix 832 braid.
Not a fan of Flurocarbon but have tried Seaguar in the past.
Bair reply :
20# PowerPro and 10# Trilene
Take that for simple.
MediumHeavy reply :
Used to use P-Line CXX in 8# for just about everything, since it has a large diameter and incredible strength. Now I'm liking Sunline Super fluoro in 12# for most things that aren't topwater. Not a fan of braid, but might end up trying some again this year.
Jigs 4 Pigs reply :
Braid- Suffix 832 or Suffix Performance.
Fluoro- Seaguar InvizX (Searching for something better, hate the stretch!)
Used to use Spiderwire Ultracast 100% Flouro but I guess BPS doesn't carry it anymore.
Hooligan reply :
All bottom contact applications- Seaguar Tatsu in 12-25lb.
Crankin'- Seaguar Tatsu in 10, 12, and 15.
Spinnerbaits 15-25 Tatsu
Topwater- Seaguar Senshi in 12-20
Jerkbaits- Senshi 10
Frog/Punch- Seaguar Kanzen
Flip- AbrazX 20lb
Finesse Spinning 6-10lb Tatsu
Bankbeater reply :
Yo-Zuri and Big Game. All baitcasters have 15 lb. The spinning reel has 10 lb. The ultralite has 6 lb.
Cincy Bach 29 reply :
I use bass pro xps flouro . Anywhere from 6lb test - 25lb. Great knot strength, and it more castable than others I've tried. I have 9 different poles rigged up with bps xps flouro but have a pole with 65 lb pp also. My top water pole has 17 lb stren xl mono.
Bassun reply :
Wow, a ton of different favorites out there. For the last decade I've been running various spiderwire offerings with Berkley Vanish or Transitions for ultra clear applications or ultra light 4# setups. But, I'm purely fishing for fun now so I thought I would try saving some cash and try using Ande line this year for the bulk of my rods.
Ultralight 4lb - Berkley Vanish / Transitions
10lb - Ande *** (green)
65lb - Spiderwire Braid
I will admit the strech with the Ande is taking some getting used to and I've found it a little too loose for heavier setups, but for everything else the trade off in cost for spooling a dozen reels makes it SO WORTH WHILE. I love the stuff! I 10000% recommend it for anyone whos fishing for fun. If you are fishing for cash, then yeah - I would still specialize but otherwise, I'm running Ande across the board basically. It is some of the strongest 10lb I've used, lol. It's very castable, has very low memory, holds knots well, has consistent but not too pronounced stretch, and surprisingly has good feel. The real kicker is the price! I picked up like 1,350 yards for less than the cost of spooling two reels with Spiderwire XXX or XL, and that's including shipping!
piscicidal reply :
topwater/jerkbaits: Yozuri US hybrid #15
cranks/traps: McCoy Mean Green #12
worm: Invisx #12
light jig: Invisx #20
frog/swimbait/heavy jig/flip setups: #50 power pro
I recently converted my crank setups to Mean Green after trying it on my buddy Rob's crank setup. This is THE most manageable line I have ever used. It sets up so nice on the spool with almost no memory. I am very impressed with this line so far and would suggest anyone looking for a strong, easy casting, manageable line to give it a try.
Traveler2586 reply :
OK, so no one has done it yet, so I guess it's up to me 
"What line do You Use?" Hi!, did I see you in my shop the other day?
Yes, I know, back on subject.....
Trilene XL 6, 10 or12, 17 Been using it for decades and just like the feel and cast-ability of the product. (and I'm basically cheep)
Spiderwire Braid 50 something....
Lot of nice data here. Anyone know how to set up a poll of line manufactures?
M-D reply :
I should probably try more different lines...
Trilene XL or Vanish for my spinning rods depending on water clarity.
Vanish or Pline CXX for my baitcasters.
urp reply :
I tend to run with you, Outdoorsman. For slow moving bottom baits I generally use a high vis line. Most other applications take a low vis moss green or clear.
flukeking reply :
P line all the way for me.
MCS reply :
Berkley trilene for my spinning, 4# for my kids reels, 10# for my gear. Got 1 spinning reel with 20# spider ez braid not really won over on braid. My favorite setup has 10# stren megathin walleye, love it casts a mile.
