I typically fish Copano and St Charles Bays and it's about time to get some new line and I figured it's about time I try something new. Any personal suggestions on favored test, brand, etc would help! Thanks

What kind of fishing? What tackle? What baits?

I'll be fishing for reds and specks and I've usually thrown live bait but next time I go down there i'm going to throw some top waters and other artificials. I've always been paranoid about breaking off on oyster reefs...do you use a leader with artificials?

Suffix 832 or PPS 8
These are the best U can get for the money.

Thank you! I'll check them out

I use mono on my casting reels for topwaters, rattle traps, spoons, and they are filled with 15# Ande backcountry.

Spinning reels get the majority of the jig head/plastic work and they are filled with 20# power pro braid, always tied directly to the jig.

Sufix 832 #####11111

I agree sufix 832

powerpro,buy it once and be done with it.it will last you years

ande is great very tough only drawback is it backlashes alittle more in a baitcast

Thanks for the suggestions!

If you plan on fishing the reefs in Copano - get ya some Power Pro.

Power pro all the way. I use 10# power pro with a 17 to 20# mono leader. I see a lot of people using 20 pound but to me the 10 casts so much smoother and further, but that's just my opinion.

I agree. That lighter #line definitely has its benefits. I usually use a leader just to be safe
