I mostly use fluorocarbon, but do use braid in heavy vegetation, reeds, or salt cedars. My most common wt is 20lb and 50lb (braid)

25Lb XPS fluorocarbon works well in every situation except heavy vegetation.

You need to ditch that PP carp and try some good braid, Matt. Suffix 832 Performance Braid is where it's at!

I use 20lb 100% trilene flouro most of the time. If I'm in real thick heavy stuff I switch to 50lb power pro braid.

You need to ditch that PP carp and try some good braid, Matt. Suffix 832 Performance Braid is where it's at! Ken recommended that I try this stuff and it's great!  If I'm flippin' heavy cover I'm using braid. In open water it's 20# flouro. As far as jig size goes, I try to throw/flip the lightest I can get away with. I want that jig to fall as slowww as possible.
