P-Line Floroclear. Handles like a dream, tough, abrasion resistant-just a great line IMO.

With all the lines available to us now, I try and match the line to techniques I use them for. Maybe if you can give us a few examples of what you intend to use this for, We can give you better suggestions.

For all around fishing give me Stren Clear blue-14# test. Nothing special-but works for spinning or baitcasting. Good luck. Johnnie

Hi Brett,

I think what everyone is trying to say is that they want to give you the best recommendation possible. In order to do that, we need a little more information.

1) Is this a spinning or bait casting rods/reel setup?

2) Take a look on the side of your new fishing rod. It should tell you what pound test and weight the rod is rated for. Then take a look at your reel, it should match up to your fishing rod specs, but it is always good to confirm.

3) What type of cover to you expect to be fishing mostly (Open water, grass, rocks, etc.)?

4) Do you have some preferred lures in mind that you would like to try?

If you can answer these questions, I think you'll get some really good answers. Thanks for posting... look forward to hearing back from you.

Brendan

My vote goes for either P-Line, or Sufix Elite. Both great line, VERY strong, low line memory. Guess it really depends on what you are using your rig for.

Hey Braddsn,

Have you tried the Suffix braid? I just started using it and I must say it is great...

I personally like P-Line 12lbs. Of course like everyone said, depends, but for spinning reels i love p-line. Low memory, super strong. Awesome line all around. Ive also had good experience with Spiderwire
