Mono for me is Trilene XT. 14LB-20LB.

Flourocarbon Berkley 100% Professional Grade in 17 or 20lb.

I still prefer mono for spinnerbaits, topwater.

I use flouro for cranks, jigs and worms.

However, I used 12lb flouro for worms and didnt like it.
I wont use less than 15lb for worms where I fish.

If you are fishing Fork or Falcon, I wouldnt go less than 17lb. test.

Thanks for all the answers everyone, looks like it is a lot of personal opinion on the different types of line/weight but I did see a lot of similar situations, I need to decide which rods I am going to use for which situations and spool them with the appropriate line.

I appreciate all the help.

Duo don't use glass beads and tungsten with a clicker between

The tunsten will chip the glass and will cut the line

If you have to use a plastic bead
