Braid, unless you ahave a affinity to visible line, then perhaps a Flourocarbon. I only use braid.

Flourocarbon for each. I use 20lb test and have yet to have a fish break off due to hooksets. Personally I prefer Stren.

KICKER,

depends on cover structure situation. I prefer Mono, but it is hard to handle when over 15 lb test. I may be buyin braid again for my flippin/pitching rig
