Depends on water clarity & type cover. On my home lakes (Belton & Stillhouse) I primarily use12lb.-15lb. Segar Invizx for both full spool or as leader attached to 30 lb. Power Pro braid.

Iād throw it on 15 lb INVISX most of the time. I would go up to 17-20lb in rocks, docks, or trees.

Throwing or pitching? Pitching I never use less than 20. A 3/4oz jig needs a good jerk to set the hook. 100% Berkley or Pline CXX.
I am wrong but you can not prove it, you just believe it enough from the bottom of your heart.....

17 lb. in fairly clear water. Mono. T Line by mason. I assume a rather large hook so up the line size a bit to get a good set. If the water is dirty or it's heavy cover....20 and up to 65 braid. Power Pro.

12 pound Stren should be the only line ever made.

12 pound Stren should be the only line ever made. Report back after fishing some west Texas lakes and let us know how that works out.

I use 2, 4, and some times 6 pound test line.
The heaviest fish landed with 4 lb test line was a 23 pound Grass Carp. Took just over half an hour to get my lure back. It was great fun.
Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's an EMP!

12 pound Stren should be the only line ever made. If you only fish for small bass. I quit using Stren line way back in 1972 because even then there were better lines on the market and they have continued to get even better and better.
