I use trilene and love it the rapala knot holds (for me) the best of all and on this side of the sierras I use green line and in the deep blue sea and the eastern sierras, I use clear. I use fluorocarbon leaders from time to time and the palomar knot is the only knot I like on fluorocarbon.
for trout I use 2lb.
large mouth, small mouth and stripers from 4 -12 lb
in shore spotted bay bass 6lb
halibut 6 lb – 10 lb maybe with as much as a 20 lb leader
calico bass in rocks 6-10 lb (only)
white sea bass, salmon and yellow tail and dorado 15 – 18lb
hey hey, it all depends on what type of fishing that i am doing.
for saltwater surf and peir fishing
i use 3 different reels. all have briaded spiderwire one has a 40 lb line another has 50 and the 3rd has 60. all depending on where i go and what type of fishing that i am plannin on doing.
for freshwater big fish as in bass catfish
i use suffix 14 lb florocarbon line
for freshwater smaller fish such as sunfish brim perch shellcracker
i use a 4 lb monofiliment line by bass pro shop brand
my favorite knots are
for tieing a hook streight to a knot the snelled knot and the palomar knot
for tieing the line to a lure i like the rapala knot
i hope that shareing my likes when it comes to lines and knots have helped you a little. good luck good fishin be safe and remember to share the experience
Braid – 30lb PowerPro (it’s an all around decent line with little complaints) I use it mainly for striper fishing and some medium bay fishing.
Mono – 8lb P-Line CXX (it’s ridiculously strong, a little on the thick side, but an overall tough and dependable line)
Flouro – 8lb Seguar (one of the most fluid, toughest, best-performing flouros out there. I count on it for most of my clearwater applications)
knots – egg loop, snell, uni, palomar (primary braid knot), and improved clinch
I have a small cheat sheet in my vest with all sorts of knots though; it’s nice to have the quick reference if I need to do something special.
I use Trilene XL Smooth Casting Mono, clear and green. 8 and 10lbs. test line. From Crappie to Walleye and Steelhead Trout, this fishing line works great for me. Note: I adjust the drag according to the size fish I’m going after and reel them in with ease and no breakage. As for knots, I use the UNI Knot, my favorite. It handles the pull of tough fighting fish such as Steelheads. I hope these answers help with your decision. Good Luck with your fishing adventures!
Fly fish and use too many different breaking strains, mainly because i build up my own tapered leaders, mainly use fluorocarbon but also various co-polymers, i use airflo g3 fluorocarbon and rio, frog hair and maxima, along with riverage and seaguar for salmon and steelhead.
Favourite fishing line brand-Uzuri, usually 4 lb test.
Monofilament.
Favourite knots-the snell for hooks.
Happy angling!
Mono- cajun red 17 lb test
Fluro- P Line 17 lb test
Braid- Power pro 60 lb test
They all have uses
improved clinch knot and palomar knot are my faves
Berkley Big Game 12lb. test.
favorite knots: loop knot for artificials, palomar for hooks.
I’m trying braided on one of my reels–Power Pro. Haven’t used it yet, though.
mono = Berkley Trilene
fluoro = Berkley 100%
braid = Power Pro
knots = palomar
pound tests = whatever’s best
power pro
80-150lb test
braided line
i use crimps to tie the nots
Stren
Anywhere from 8-14 lb. line
Mono
I don’t even know the name of the knot i tie haha
I use berkley fireline in 8lb test and I use the polarama knot. It’s a great combo
stren 8 – 10 -12 lbs.
