Mono for all listed. I use braid for Carolina rigs, frogs, and Alabama rigs.
I don't touch fluorocarbon; I hate that shtuff.

Fluorocarbon for everything except top-water baits. Might use some braid if in heavy cover.

Big game. I don't get the whole flourocarbon thing unless you are in clearer water. Just adds cost and gives less knot strenght.
Braid for frogs. Do not fish a jig.

For jigs - Braid as a Main Line and Fluorocarbon for my leader
Worms both Craig - Braid as a Main Line and Mono for my leader
and Texas - Fluorocarbon
Deep cranks - Fluorocarbon
Lipless cranks & med/shallow cranks - Fluorocarbon for open water and Mono for heavy cover
Spinners - Fluorocarbon
Topwater - Mono
I'm just really getting confused now days on what type of line to use and when. It sure was simpler when all there was was mono. This is just the way I do it. It's always a debatable topic. Everyone does something different. This is just what I use for my confidence factor and familiarity.

Fluoro for everything except top water. I do use braid on C-rigs with a fluoro leader and for frogs.

I thought a friend of mine made an astute remark...they tell us to use floro because it's invisable yet the A-Rig shows a lot of wire ahead of the baits. If they bit that it would seem to make the 'invisability' of floro insignificant.
