What line are you using on big top water walking type baits? Braid, Flouro, Mono other?

Also on Swim baits. Soft plastic type.

Thanks!

Google Some of Rick Cluns youtube videos, he gives some great tips on baits and what type of line and what pound test works the best. Incredibly great information.

Braid, since it floats.

I use 12 pound mono on topwaters. I might go up to 14 or 15 if it was a big topwater. Braid should work too but I mainly just use it for frogs. As for swimbaits (like keitechs and other paddle tails), 12 pound fluorocarbon. If you are talking about big swimbaits, I would probably use around 20 pound.

Walking floaters can tend to foul braid because the braid is so supple. I use a short leader of some other material (mono, copolymer) that's a bit stiffer so it avoids the fouling issue.

I throw my big swimbaits on Pline Cxx.

Braid for stuff coming through heavy cover (frog) or that I don't stop moving (like a buzz bait) mono for stuff I "work" across the top (popper, spook, etc). Not flouro, sinks.

Braid to a buoyant copoly leader like Pline CXX for big walking topwaters.
To keep things simple, I use the same for big swimbaits; but if you have confidence in fluoro (which I don't), there are strong arguments for using braid to fluoro, or just straight fluoro for swimbaits.

I use 12 pound mono on topwaters. I might go up to 14 or 15 if it was a big topwater. Braid should work too but I mainly just use it for frogs. big game for the mono and power pro for the braid. swimbait can be flouro or mono

Walking baits on 30-50 pound braid (depending on size) and swim baits 20-25lb mono or fluoro

braid if fishing heavy cover but mono usualy

[spoiler][/spoiler]Braid & Mono float..

Fluoro sinks..


Go big with mono unless you need braid. The reply about Rick Clun is correct, videos are very interesting. I liked the Popr, and square bill vids.

Big top water walking baits like a Super Spook: 15 lb. MAXIMA Ultra Green. Small to medium plastic swim baits like a BASSTRIX: 10 lb SEAGUAR Invisx.

Braid.

Mono for topwater. #15 big game most of the time but will go down to #12 occasionally. For swim baits #10 to #15 fluoro depending on bait size and weight.
