What Kind of fishing line is best for a baitcasting reel? and how many Lbs?
Braided Superline? Monofilament? Fluorocarbon?
10? 12? 20? 30? 40? 50? 65?
That is strictly a preference issue. You have to experiment to find out what works best for you.
In my opinion, Baitcasters work best with line diameters ranging from 10LB and UP, (12-17LB being about perfect).
Most of my Baitcaster's have 14LB diameter Mono line spooled up with a leader of Flurocarbon. With a leader of Fluro, (and a Mono mainline), I get the best of all worlds......this works well for me.
I save the Braid for heavy duty, high abrasion, area's for "Flippin" and fishing HEAVY weeds & wood structure/rip rap. However, the diameter of my line still stays around 10-12LB when using braid.
Here are some general rules I use with line-
1. Always use Mono for any Topwater fishing. Mono "floats" higher than Braid or Fluro and is easier to manage when using lures that float.
2. Try to use a line diameter bigger than 10-12LB if your new to B-casting. Larger diameter lines are MUCH easier to manage & cast than smaller lines; esp when your learning.
3. When your choosing lures remember that Braid and Fluro sink quicker than Mono. So, if you want a lure to "fall slowly", (and stay in the strike zone longer), Mono would be a better choice.
Otherwise, try various brands and line types until you find one YOU like.
Hope this helps ya? Good luck.
