Line opinions

[Bryfish84]

What kind of line is everyone using for panfish and the occasional walleye?

I use 4-6# mono Sufix.

On most setups I use 8# fireline smoke with a small swivel and 4# trilene 100% fluorocarbon leader 2-3’ tied direct for pannies. Can switch the leader to 8# flouro for walleyes. The “trophy” walleye rod is the same with with a bigger, higher quality reel for the smoothness and better drag. Experimented with 2# p-line with no swivel or leader on a straight line setup for bluegills last winter with good results but ultimately thought it was no better than the aforementioned. Many opinions on line but I found that summer fire line is the same as winter except cheaper and bigger spools and the smoke color is better for water retention.

I use 2 and 3# trilene micro ice for panfish.not many walleye lakes around here,so i have no walleye setups.

I use four pound Trilene Cold Weather or Ice Line on all my rods and I mainly fish for pan fish and bass and haven't had any problems with line breaking.  Occasionally get a pickerel which sometimes cuts the line with it's teeth but that's to be expected.  Just as important with the quality and strength of the line is tying a good strong knot.

Last year I used Stroft GTM line. Super thin line diameter and very strong. Ordered direct from Germany in spool sizes of 200 and 300 meters. Felt like thinner line diameter made a big difference on negative bite days, especially when I went down to .07mm (.002in/1.7 lbs) line. My go-to line on most days was 2.5lb, which was still very thin (.09mm/.0035 in) but strong enough to land bigger gills and crappies.

2 and 4lb Stren mono.

I used a whole bunch of different kinds.

My favorite is ASSO micron3 line.  Lots of other lines I like to use as well.

3 or 4 pound fluoro. Haven't decided on a brand I like any better than another.  Tried braid and felt like I needed to take off 20 ft every few times I went out due to being impatient with it freezing up.

[Scupbaron]

3 lb pline floroclear ..high quality stuff, reasonably priced.   buy 300yd spools, not the stuff they call floroice, its same stuff on small spool and more money

Ive had trouble with braid freezing but nano is different.
