   Use fluorocarbon. I know it can be a pain. But so was the first baitcasting reel I bought. With fluorocarbon you can get away with a larger diameter because it is very low vis. Berkley Vanish or Bass Pro XPS Fluorocarbon IN 8-12LB area is good

   l use 8lb maxima mono most commonly, but do use up to 14lb especially when fishing stick ups and other brushy/weedy spots. mostly 8 -10 with plastic worms, smaller topwaters and crankbaits. 12 on larger topwaters like zara spooks. my largest bass so far was over 13lb on 8lb test with a 4″ plastic worm.

   for my all purpose rig i use 15# copolymar. i usually don’t do alot of finesse fishing but when i do i use 8 to 10#. i’d use 10# just in case you hook a lunker. and make sure your drag is adjusted right because i hooked a big one on 10#.. it broke off cause my drag was down tight. hope this helps!

   With light tackle think I’d go with either 8 or 10 # test;)…< ' ( (( > <

   I guide Trout and Bass in Portland, Oregon. Here is what I use.

   I use 20LB braided Power Pro for my main line and 10LB fluorocarbon for my leader. Make sure you use a large barrel swivel to attach the lines. I tie the leader using a Triline knot, then use a palomar knot on the main line.
