    I run 15 lb big game for shallow cranking. I dont need a small diameter line for this and prefer the extra abrasion resistance. Works for me.

    I like 15 to 20 lb line for squarebills. I like fc helps with the big trebles on getting hooked.

    Izorline Platinum...12 pound when fishing laydowns and I want my D Bait to reach it's maximum depth at the end of the tree. In stump flats or around shallow grass 4 feet deep or shallower I upgrade to 15 pound Platinum
