Fishing line
TeacherMan:
What pound test do you like to use.
trout - in lakes 6 pound is my favorite for bait fishing or spin casting. Trolling I like 30 pound spider wire because of the heavy bladed gear that I use, expensive stuff.
catfish - 17 or 20 pound mono or 30 pound spider wire
Walleye - on Lake Roosevelt 8 lb cant beat it.
Smallmouth - trout rods with 6 pound test
stream fishing or high Mt. lake - 4 lb line
Tiger Muskey - 50 lb braided
Saltwater Salmon Neah Bay (kings or silvers) 15 -20 lb Oh ya let them run!!!
saltwater bottom fish - 30-40 lb mono
Steelhead - that's my dilemma?
I've always been a Trylene guy, but I'm kind of interested in the new fluorocarbons.

From a boat or shore? In my boat I drift with 12# mainline and a 8# or 10# leader depending on water clarity.

Same thing from shore?
huntnphool:
I do, but I know a lot of guys go a bit heavier from shore, you dont have the advantage of drifting down river with the fish when on shore.
Bottom line, no pun intended, the lighter the line generally the more fish you will hook, however you run the risk of breaking them off more. Find a happy medium :twocents:
