I use mr crappie. Cheap and strong. I've heard some good things about K9's new crappie braid. They sell it online and at flippers. I love K9 flouro

I've been using the 4 lb. Suffix Elite for about the last 6 months and have been very pleased with it.

I’m fishing the 20# braid. Want to insure I can pull a jig out of the brush by straightening the hook without getting on top of the structure. Fishing slip bobbers, dipping the rig on every piece of structure I can see with a 12’ pole. Line size means nothing in this scenario.

10# Mr Crappie on all 8 rods down to flouro double hook rig. Easy to see light strikes or movement.

I use a lot of Spiderwire invisabraid in 10#. I can easily pop my lures off wood and rocks. It usually straightens the hook. I tie my own pony heads and this saves me a lot of work.
