I run 10lb on all my bait casters for everything I fish from t rig to crankbait! And my spinning gear is 6lb! Don't need a whole lot to land big fish!! Just know your gear and what it can handle and most importantly don't get in a hurry! This is just how I like to fish!

I wouldn't use 10lb line within a hundred yards of a rock or tree, but that's just me. I mostly fish heavy cover, and even 15lb test makes me nervous.

one with big-game one with invisx

Fishing for crappie? Haha.

Just kidding. I have 10'on one reel. The reel isnt on a rod much. Lol I usually use 12 most often. The 10 just seems too thin. I know it isn't, just seems that way.

I use 8 and 10lb line both on a baitcaster for drop shots and weightless worms.

Pretty much just use 10-12 lb line on all my BC setups. Only exceptions are heavy cover/punching.

This ^^^^^^

But add throwing frogs and big swimbaits to the exceptions

Me too. I have a couple of reels with 15# FC ( I use equally IVIS X and Berkeley 100%).

Been using Berkeley BG for 20+ years as my mono line and the 10# is pretty darn tuff and strong.

I have a couple of setups with braid.

If 10-lb, I'd recommend using a non-mono line for less bulk and less stretch.

There is a noticeable difference to me regarding line suppleness, casting distance, lure action, and cranking depth going bigger than 10lb line. However, I have had larger bass bite right through 10lb line, so retie more often.

I do for crankin

I fish 10lb. and will catch more fish than people with 15 or 17...........

#10 has a time and a place, but the time aint now and the place aint Rayburn.

Tried, but it kept going behind the spool on my old MG50. Went back to spinning reel for dink festing

Yes.

For small crankbaits and wacky worms when I need to downsize to get bit.
