This is my set up

abu garcia cardinal 400
6'6" berkley lightning rod classic
30# test

abu garcia cardinal 800
7' ugly stik
65# test

i dont like the 65 pound test it feels to stiff, so i am going to put the 30 pound test on that set up and use new line on my other rod

i am wanting to use it like a finese set up, useing light jigs and light weight on a texas rig as well use unweighted

i am mainly fishing large mouth bass but i resectly found a lake with catfish, and bluegil

i also found a nice river with bass, catfish, panfish, gar, and some other fish

im thinking about stren mono (clear blue or clear) 10# test
im also thinking about trilene and floroucarbon

what do you guys recomend?

Colorwise, it doesn't matter one bit if it's clear, blue, or green

I like 10-12 pound stren or trilene --- whatever is on sale
I'd probably prefer stren though

10# MonoF.should be plenty
as mentioned a braided line can be much heavier rated and still feel and react like a very light line. (I use power pro 30# it's equivalent to 8-10 mono)

I just went fishing yesterday in GIN CLEAR water that was 45 degree's and caught a mess of Northern Pike, Smallmouth, and walleye.

I used Berkley Fireline 4/10 with an 8LB leader of Berkley "Vanish" Flurocarbon.

I was fishing some super CLEAR, COLD water and still managed to catch fish!

Use whatever line you wish, and a leader of (your fav) Flurocarbon!

I personally like Power Pro and Berkley Fireline for many applications.

If I'm fishing Mono I usually use Berkley Trilene or Big Game, (in Green).

(In my opinion), you would be wise to get a braid and use a leader of fluro.

Hope this helps! Good fishing!
