SB- Big Game Cranks, worms-Floro Topwaters-Mono
I don't use braid much, to many wind knot issues for me

monofilament with those type of baits. A little stretch is not a bad thing for that application.

Mono for Spinnerbaits and topwaters Fluro for CB's, SquareBills, Jigs and Worms, etc. I only have braid anymore on my Punch/Flip Rod, a 916UBR. Otherwise MBR's get mono, and JWR's get fluoro for the most part.
@361V - Mean Green is good stuff, but have seem a lot of McCoys's stuff in general on clearance in a lot of places, I wonder if they are going out of business?

I use copolymer lines for all my moving baits. The same one I found back in 2000. McCoyos Mean Greed is the best I have found for moving baits. Good amount of stretch, tuffer than a boot, VERY LOW MEMORY and lighter diameter than same test monos. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Mainly for SB's and CB's I will use Super Silver Thread AN 40 copolymer in green line. I listened to Jimmy Houston one day in a seminar that said exactly this, "Green line is the only color line that cannot be detected by underwater photography". Is it the truth? Don't know, I've never had a camera that takes pics underwater.
