Ten pound mono all the way up to sixty pound copper, depends on what delivery method you plan on using

30 mono on riggers, 30 wire on dipseys , 50 braid backing on leadcore and copper. That probably makes me an idiot instead of a fisherman too though

[terry8889]

No I'm taking about fishing on sure

20lbs flea flicker to the hooks on the rigger rods then my casting rods have 20mono

I would go with 20lbs trilene mono it's all you need

[terry8889]

I was thinking 15 lbs would be enough

[burrows256]

15 would give you a fun fight on a king you would have to fight them a little more

[terry8889]

Ok see I am going to buy a bait caster and the one I want is only holding 15lbs test line

[burrows256]

That's just a recommended line weight you can go to braid and put 50lbs test which is like 10lbs diameter

[burrows256]

But then you have a problem breaking braid if you need to break it off

[terry8889]

Yeah I had a bad experience with braid line getting in a not I might try it on a bait caster

I always have good luck with it when I'm casting for salmon you just gotta adjust the free spool break on it which will be a little knob that is placed behind the star drag

[terry8889]

Yeah this will be my first time using a bait caster I open face reels with it let me tell u never agian

[burrows256]

Haha if I'm fishing the dam at oak orchard I use a open face but if I'm down river on the oak I use a bait caster for throwing lures but now I'm switching over to a center pin

[terry8889]

Wats a center pin

Salmon crazy want to live in New York but need a job first

[burrows256]

It's like a fly rod but it built like a bait caster cause it's a free spooling design some have drags and some don't it's all on how much you spend but they are also known as drift rods for drifting egg sacks, jigs, flys, Ect....

[terry8889]

Oh ok I'll have to look them up

Terry,

 

Asking what line you use is like asking what lure you use for salmon fishing.  It depends on the application.  Calling someone an idiot because he points out the vagueness of your question won't buy you many friends around here.  Please be respectful.

[burrows256]

You can get them for $100 which are junk all the way up to $1,000

[terry8889]

Sorry big water but if someone uses a copper line that means they are fishing for more then salmon or lakers or trout I think 20 lb is alil over kill myself and I barely no nothing about salmon fishing but ur right I was out of line with that comment and I'll try to refrain from any more comments like that but I guess if ur trolling the a heavy line would be needed and I'm sorry if I affended any of u I gett carried away before I think that's kool burrows I'm not willing to send that much on a reel lol
