so, topic of line, brand, application, presentation, fish types..

ive always been pretty hardcore in the school of thought that says lighter line is always better because it allows for more action from your lure, its harder for fish to see and feel, and id rather have more bites and lose a few than have fewer bites but catch more.

im talking spinning gear here, 7 ft rod, used in an all purpose method, jigs, cranks, you name it.

i grew up using trilene xt.. never had any real issues but recently have switched to suffix seige, no other reason than brand loyalty..

when i fish my local area of central wisconsin, lakes its 4lb and rivers i go 6lb for the abrasion resistance from the rocks. shore fishing i tend to err on the side of 6lb whereas from a canoe/kayak i can stay 4lb and still be comfortable.

im scared to try fluorocarbon... its would be new to me and i dont really like change. not sure if i want the stiffer line and weaker knots for the transparency and abrasion resistance qualities you gain.

im thinking 6 or 8lb mono...

convince me on a brand and pound test for jigging and trolling medium to small cranks
