What color and weight line

What color and weight line is everyone running.

What kind of fishing you specifically interested in?

[tandmbait]

Sorry anything from Lakers to kings

[Sk8man]

Might want to include a little more info such as what setups you intend to run e.g. Dipsy divers, downriggers, leadcore etc. and where you will be fishing (e.g. Finger Lakes may be different than Lake O). The "kings" suggests Lake O so narrow it down a bit...

Downriggers and dipseys.im new to Lake o fishing.not new to trolling.i mostly fish canandaigua lake but want to try the big lake this year.

[Sk8man]

A lot of options but I use 30 lb Bloodrun Sea Flee on the riggers (clear), For leaders 20 lb. clear Seaguar Fluoro for leaders. 12 Lb. Big  Game mono (clear) for browns (Spring to early summer but have on high capacity reel s for occasional king) with 8-10 lb fluoro leader. For dipsys 30 lb stranded stainless wire both  camo and silver versions. Others also use 65 lb braid instead of running wire. A lot of the larger diameter line relates to the waterflea problem.

Les,

Do you use wire or braid as your downrigger cable? Thanks, Don

Wire

[Sk8man]

Have always used wire Don (since 1975). Have never had any significant issues with it either but again it is a preference thing mostly but they do sing once in awhile too....

Riggers - 25lb Suffix Superior Hi Vis yellow.  I like seeing where my lines are when fighting fish, as well as where the lines are at the back of the boat.

Wire - Malin.  Tried Blood Run, I wasn't a fan.
