15lb fluoro, both wacky- and T-rigged weightless. Throw mostly 5" Senkos, occasionally 6". You didn't ask about hooks, but I use a #1 Gamakatsu wide gap finesse for wacky rig, and 3/0 EWG Gamakatsu for T-rig

When throwing around brush I use 40 pound braid. I use a 1/8 oz. weight to help it sink into the limbs on the brush. The rod is m/h with fast tip. I fish out of kayak and fish real close to the item I have fished... Hope this helps.

I use 15 pound test Invizx. Big Game curls too much and it doesn't have the sensitivity of fluorocarbon line.

My last 3 biggest fish, one few weeks ago was 8.80 wacky rig and other 2 were 8.5 and a 8.10 on senko so anything under 14-15lb line good luck those 2 baits will catch u some giant fish. Also PB was a 8.88 senko few years ago

thanks for all the input guys. Seems like there is someone who uses each option I gave. lol. I have been using 10lb fluoro, but was thinking I should go a little more stout line so I can use the setup with more options.

flouro sinks better vs mono, smaller diameter, less visible, little stiffer for feel. As heavy as you can get bites or see how big a bass you can catch on 6 lb test like drop shottin the deep weeds.
