There are as many answers for that as there are fishermen.

For worms, jigs, Carolina rigs and flipping I prefer 50 lb Powerpro braid.

For other baitcasting applications I use 12 lb green Trilene XL.

For spinning rods I use 8 or 10 lb green Trilene XL.

Are they the "best"?

They are the ones I have the most confidence in after MUCH trial and error. That's good enough for me.

I might as well chime in on this. I use power pro white and moss green. In the mono I use low vis green and in florocarbon clear.

All the 25 different answers are right, I think the key is to use the line as a active part of your tackle box. As you swap lures trail and error on different line / lure / fish structures combos.

I never used to do this and since I started my catches has gone up somewhat!

Personal Preferance.

Bass Pro Shops Excel. It's inexpensive, and it works.
