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.

I have pretty much done the same thing but use the Mean Green on all of my moving baits and Extra Clear on my flipping baits.

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.
