Stren 6# Low-Vis Green on the lighter weight rig and 8# or 10# or the same or similar mono on the heavier rig. Don't really like the braids or Fireline, since I fish with jigs and plastic a lot. Sometimes it feels like I rip the hook out without that little bit of stretch.


I agree with Jimmar that with the sensitivity of the braid the reaction time is increased and the tendency can be to miss fish or pull hooks. I like to throw a tiny bit of slack in the line before I flip my wrist with braid, especially with the aforementioned plastic baits and jigs (or live bait).
