Line for lakers

[CanadianIce]

Any suggestions for main line and leader? Thanks

A good braid for mainline - there deep so you want about zero line stretch for a good hook set. A good fluorocarbon 3-4ft. for a little shock absorption.

20 lb  power pro with 20 ft. Of  25lb seaguar leader.....I go big because there was 44 inch caught last week...

#25 to #30 Tuff Line Duracast and 3'-4' of similar weight Seaguar flourocarbon leader material.

I did forget to mention one thing - match your line to the weight of the fish in the lake.

HMMMMMMM, there aren't 60# fish in every lake?

I always use 8# power pro, and 10-12lb. Fluoro leader, but I don't use a leader when I'm fishing deeper then a 100 fow. I just landed a 42 1/2 incher the other day with 8# so it's not thick ass line or nothing. Plus the thinner the line the faster your jig gets to the bottom! Your reel is the important part, I have fallen in love with the large arbor pflueger reels! Stupid smooth drag and some serious line capacity. Here in Montana I regularly fish in over 250 fow. I caught my big one the other day in 307! 8-10# is more then sufficient. And I prefer power pro but I heard the suffix stuff is good too.

30# nylon coated 7 strand wire with a 25 lb leader is what i use on lake superior

I like the suffix 832 over power pro super slick.it seems to lay down better allowing for more line ob the reel.and it stays more limp in the cold than pp

I want to start by saying that I have never caught any form of trout on a jig rod. But I do have a bit of information for those who have never used braided line (Im probly preaching to the choir, but it might be helpfull). Be ready for some shock on a shallow water hit. With no stretch, bites are easy to detect, and i had a 3-4lb Chain Pickerel (sorry about the slimer on the trout board) pounce my darter in 5 FOW, and nearly ripped the rod outta my hand. 2lb dia. braid is great for perch too, in the sensitivity aspect...   Sorry for the hijack.
