| What lb test do you use?
Trying to get a feel for how many guys really use line stonger than 80lb braid for casting purposes.
Also, is the heavier line going to adversely effect the action of certain baits? If so, what types of lures must be used with lighter line? |

| I tried 50#. Mistake. Breaks too easily.
I tried 130#. Mistake. It's like rope -- casting distance was severely compromised.
Settled on 80#.
Contemplating 100#. Not sure why, never had and problems with breakage or anything. |

| 80 Pound on 5 rods are so. I've got 65 pound sufix on one rod that I like. Would have put on 80, but had to replace the line on the night between tourneys and couldn't get 80. It casts very nicely. I run 50 on a 7' mh bass rod that I use rarely for 6" jakes and rattlebaits in the spring. My dad runs 50 and I've seen it break at least 4 times in the last year. |

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | 50# on my muskie jig rod. Also works great for heavy cover bass
65# on my light muskie rod
80# on my day to day muskie equipment and trolling rods
100# on my d10's and jerkbait rods
