msolorio reply :

outdoorsman110 reply :
10 to 12, 15 if the jig is heavy.
G_money reply :
I'm a finesse guy....so I'm 10 or 12 pound fluoro on jigs. I also fish a lot of clear water and you can step up to 15 pound or heavier but you start getting fewer bites especially from the wiser bigger bass that have been caught before.
Bass_Fanatic reply :
20lb floro!
msolorio reply :
thank you guys for the responses! keep em comin. forgot to mention, i like 14-20lb fluoro.
Hi Salenity reply :
I recently tied my 15# FC to a tree and stood back (pitching distance) and gave it a pull. I could not believe the amount of stretch it had. It was like a ruberband. I like FC and am going to order some 15-20 Tatsu but until then I spooled up 50# braid.
On a side note with the 0 stretch the braid has the hits will about rip the rod from your hand! 
And it doesn't want to backlash or get loose on the spool while pitching.
Bluebasser86 reply :
15 or 20 pound fluoro, depends if I'm pitching or casting.
SDoolittle reply :

Was it InvisX?
msolorio reply :
lol yea idk how people think invizx is the best fluoro ever, that stuff is horrible buuuut thats just my opinion.
K_Mac reply :
12# CXX for small to medium jigs and worms. 15# CXX for heavier jigs/hooks, bigger worms, deeper water, or heavier cover. The actual breaking strength of these lines is much higher than the rating.
Bassn Blvd reply :
It depends. Can't use the same line size for ALL techniques. (i guess you could but I don't) BTW, flippin and pitchin are differet casting techniques and have nothing to do with the type of line you use.
#12 Yozuri around docks. (all water types)
#10 Yozuri in shallow/deep open water. (all water types)
#40 and bigger braid with NO leader for all vegetation. (all water types)

I know you don't mean all aspects, I jig for many different species, I use a butterfly jig with 50# braid, 15-20# braid flipping jigs under SW docks and same line for surf.
For my bass fishing I use 15 # braid and usually a 1/2 oz jig, pretty much covers the type of water I fish.
I seldom use mono or copoly line for anything.
LgMouthGambler reply :
65# Spiderwire
Catt reply :
15# Berkeley Big Game Mean Green for light cover & 65# braid far everything else

Same for me, except I use mono. Don't like flouro. I find it's disadvantages far outweigh the small advantage provided by the increased density. I have two reels spooled up with 14, the rest are lighter.
NBR reply :
This depend so much on where you fish. Most of the lakes I fish now a void of cover except for rocks and clear to very clear. I use 8 to 12# in every thing except braid which I use on my c-rig at 60# plus a leader of either fluoro or mono usually 8 to 12#. If I go somewhere to fish with lots of wood or weedy cover I'll spool with large enough test line to haul fish out of the trash

ww2farmer reply :
30lb Power Pro for pitching,casting, dragging, swimming. Fluoro leaders if needed, usually 15 or 17 lb. 50lb Power Pro for flipping....no leader, ever.
MrSwimJig reply :
I use 30# braid for swim jigs, 50 to 65# braid for fishing jigs and flippin jigs but I will also you fluorocarbon in the 10#, 15 and 20#. But I prefer braid.
hatrix reply :
30# and 65# braid
Dakota wendt reply :
40 # power pro ind dirty water or if it is heavy cover if it's clear water I add a 15# floro leader red label.
jeremyt reply :
I use 50# power pro and here recently have started coloring the last foot black with a sharpie. Saw it on tv I think and not sure if it helps but I have confidence in it.
von reply :
Flipping/pitching: 65# Suffix braid
Football jigs: 20# Seaguar red label.
Bryce C reply :
15lb red label for dragging a football jig and fishing finesse jigs, 20lb red label for pitching heavier hooked jigs. I used these two lines for an entire season and only broke off one fish on a hookset.....that one was 100% my fault for not retying.
