| i am just getting into muskie fishin and not sure what kind of line to use. I fish a lake in norwestern Ontario, it is a deep clear lake. what would be the best kind, colour and strength to buy?
though not sure strength matters much because i reeled in a 46incher this spring on 8lb. test. |

| Test matters, don't kid yourself.
I fish gorilla, and TufLine XP.
I like yellow for my jerkbaits in dirty water, otherwise it's green for me. |

| Pick a brand from the following since they are all pretty much the same: Power Pro, Stealth, Spectron, TUF.
The more important thing is pound test. Whichever brand you buy, make sure you buy at least 80 pounds regardless of water clarity, IMO. |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | 80 lb SPIDERWIRE ULTRACAST in green or the new invis a braid, it also comes in yellow. This line will outcast ANY braid out there !!!!! and has exceptional abrasion resistance with unbeatable knot strenght. It will cost a little more but it will last and hold up all season long. 2nd choice would be Mason Tiger braid.

Location: Indiana | I kinda like the Stren 80lb superbraid. Why??? Because apparently I suck and get lots of backlashes when casting. Although I like to blame the reel/wind/boat partner/lure, it's most often the line. Yup...definately the line. Since I get way fewer backlashes with it, I figure the Stren's the best. Although it could still be the boat partner...I haven't ruled that one out yet. |

Location: South Dakota | I like the sufix 80 lb braid. My line never breaks on backlashes, just my leader snaps. I need to find new leaders.
