8lb. Berkley Vanish and Trilene 100% fluorocarbon are very good lines as well as Seaguar .

I have found Trilene 100% florocarbon and Gamma to be the best I have used. Triple fish makes a good one thats a little less expensive.

i use 25 lb power pro and then a 8 to 10 lb p-line leader tied with a uni knot. you can feel everything and its tough.

8 or 10 lb Seaguar Carbon Pro....Spray the line with KVD Line and Lure conditioner the night before you fish, you are good to go.

i like vanish in anywhere from 6 to 15lb line. obviously if you on the cal delta flip-shoting you need some heavier line and if you are on lake havasu you can get away and need to use the 6lb. any quality floro will work, just match the line size to the boddy of water and conditions present.

I like 6-8# Seaguar Carbon Pro for drop-shotting, but this works for the area that I fish (smallmouth on Lake Erie) but may go as high as 10# since I am fishing in the FLW College Tour (Kent State), since my military time is up.

I started the season using straight 8lb Trilene Flurocarbon, moved to 6 during the year, and found it produced more bites.

Sunline Has The Highest Grade Floro In The U.s Market.
The (fc Sniper) By Sunline Would Be Your Best Bet. I Would Use
6lb Or 8lb Depending On Condictions.

6-8 Pound Seaguar Invizx Flourocarbon

I have never had a fish break off on this line. Just caught a 8.3lbs on 6lb drop shot he other day, and never retied and still caught more fish with no break offs.

When I dropshot I use 10 pound Power Pro, - no need to go over board on the line poundage, - and then a leader tied on with a uni to uni knot of 8 pound or 6 pound Seagur Tatsu.

Also Agree W/ The Power Pro And Leader Combo. Ive Been Using That And Like It Alot. But I Use A Albright Knot.

I like the Toray super light 100% Flourocarbon line called Bawo Super Finesse.

I have a lot of success with this line. It is very clear, strong and limp. I have found this line gives me the best feel and the most bites. The line size I use is 5# and 6#. I load my Steez matching with Toray Finesse braid 16#. This is a killer set up.

Go with 8lb. fluorocarbon, either berkley vanish or trilene.

6-7lb Cajun 100% or 6-8lb Trilene 100% would be my suggestions. Both are really good from what I've experience with them this past year.

I use 3/14 Stren Sonic Braid as a main line...but different from some other resposes, I connect my fluoro leader (6 lb. Trilene 100% Fluoro) with a small barrel swivel. This cuts down on twist and the need to re-spool after every drop shot trip.
