I am fairly new to jig fishing. When flipping in heavy timber in stained water I'm using 55 power-pro braid. My question is what line do yall use when flipping a jig in clearer water or when fishing a jig deep on humps, roadbeds, etc. I am using the Falcon Cara T7 Amistad rod paired with a Curado 200E7 reel. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

15lb invzx Belton is the clearest lake I fish. I was using mono for jigs till about a year and a half ago. My buddy beat me to death so I switched and never looked back. The feel is way better and when setting the hook in water 20-30' you need that feel and strength.

I'm also a proponent of 20# flouro. I choose to use either InvisX or the BPS flouro. Both have served me well, for my limited needs.

I've been using 30lb powerpro with a 20lb invisix leader. Retying the leader is annoying and time consuming so I think I'm switching to straight invisix once my braid wears out.

If you can handle spending the little extra time tying a leader it's tough to beat the added sensitivity from braid. 30# power pro is light and strong
