12lb big game for me.

Different colors depending on the lake I’m fishing and the clarity at the time.

12lb big game

15lb invisx

That’s what I use and no complaints.

Up here on the Ohi River I throw Cajun Red 10lb mono... Dan

This

I like 14lb Stren Clear/Blue.

I use that for a lot of applications. I find a good balance of abrasion resistance, strength, and manageability with it. Price is fair as well.

15 pound P-Line CXX,,,,very strong, low stretch.

12# Seguar InvizX

Question,,,why do you choose to use fluorocarbon line for shallow cranking instead of a monofilament or co-polymer line? I use fluorocarbon line for just about everything else except shallow moving baits. Just wondering if I need to try it out.

Less stretch, more abrasion resistance, stronger and i just prefer it. Now when I use mono it feels like a rubber band.

There are some pretty stiff copolymers out there though, that stuff is very very strong too. I use izorline xxx and trik fish x for big swimbaits just for that reason. You can't break it in 25lb

12lb Invisx

The size of the squarebill, the cover you're fishing around, the size of the fish and the water clarity kind of makes it tough to pick a single strength/type of line.

I throw some 1/4 oz balsa squarebills on 12 lb fluoro, but that's only in areas where there's not a lot of cover. Most of the squarebills I throw are 1/2 oz or bigger, and the majority of the time it's around heavy cover. I fished 15 lb Invisx for a long time until trying Bass Pro Shops XPS. The 17 lb XPS casts better and holds up better (for me) than the 15 lb Invisx.

Let the size of the fish and the cover you're fishing around help you decide what line. There's nothing worse than hooking up with a giant and not having the tackle to handle it. I fished a spot on Ft. Gibson that had very sharp vertical rocks and ended up using braid after losing a couple of fish getting cut off on the rocks. I've gotten to the point I use as heavy a line as I can get away with as long as it doesn't hamper my casting or the action of the bait, and that's with everything from shaky heads to flipping.

40/50lb PP Braid to six foot leader 12 or 15lb Pline CXX here.

That 14lb Stren sure is a joy to fish with also; very supple. I just like the feedback I get from braid mainline and the ridiculous abrasion resistance of CXX.
