Do you use on different baits. I only fish on Lake fork. Such as Jigs, Plastics. Square Bills, Spinner Bait. DD22 cranks. XD 10 and on and on. Also what lb braid on what baits.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! Curtis Brown

20 lb InvisX on everything with a bait casting reel. 8-10 on fixed spool reels.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

I fish Fork as well as lakes all over the south and I use more 15 than anything. InvizX is hard to beat. I only use 20 on crig and big jigs in heavy cover. I use 17 on lighter crig, swim jigs and 1oz spinner baits. 15 on trig, hard heads, 1/2-3/4 oz spinner baits, under spins, med to small swimbaits, square bills, bigger cranks around timber where I don't need them to reach max depth, weightless flukes. 12 on suspending jerk baits, 3xds that don't have to reach max depth, 3/8 oz spinner baits 10 any crank fished in open water trying to hit max depth, 1/4 oz spinner baits, shakey head, light trig in clear water and light cover. I use 65# power pro braid on arigs, frogs, whopper plopper, big swim baits and for flipping/ punching. Spinning reel 10# power pro yellow to 6-10# flouro leader for drop shot, light shakey head, Ned rig You could get by with 30-50# braid for several techniques but I don't see too much need to downsize my braid. These are what I use, it may not be the best options for you or anyone else but it works for me.

20# InvisX - jigs, t-rig, c-rig 15# InvisX - weightless/light t-rig, finesse jig 15# Red Label - spinnerbaits, bladed jigs 12# Red Label - crank (square bill, 3XD, 5XD, lipless, etc) 10# Red Label - crank (max depth), shakey head, drop shot
20# Big Game - frogs 15# Big Game - buzzbait, pop-r, c-rig leader
Right now, I am using both Seaguar InvisX and Red Label. I like InvisX for setups where I really need the sensitivity. I like the feel of Red Label for moving baits. All topwater is on mono currently.
So far, this is working well for me.

On a lake like Fork:
18#-25# for jigs, plastics, and spinnerbaits.
12#-16# for squarebills
12-14# for DD22's
14-16# for 10XD's
That's for fluorocarbon.
