Depends on what you are throwing. But 17 flouro is a basic start.

I would think 20 pound would be good.

20lb InvizX

I would never forgive myself if a fatty broke off on light line on that lake. Also the line brushes up against timber often or the big girls will run you around it. Just my $.02

Seaguar - Red Label - Flouro - 15# for most fishing
Spider Wire - Braid - 60# for heavy cover

You will get more bites on lighter line. 15lb flouro on cranks, 12-20 on t-rigs, braid with 15lb flouro on c-rig and 10-12 on finesse presentations.

More than anything confidence is most important. As Ish said at Falcon. "If you feel it, fish it."

20lb big game for top waters. And 15-20 InvizX will handle the rest.

I pretty well use 15 lb. flouro and 12 lb. big game for everthing on fork, I pretty well shy away from the braid as it seems the fish won't bite it as well.
