    Help me choose new fishing line !

    Gentlemen, I have just stripped 22 rods and reels of their line...mostly bait casters with 4 spinning reels...I fish for mainly largemouth and spotted bass with these setups.... have others for crappie and striped bass that have recent line changes. I fish in Northeast Georgia mainly in water that has underground structure such as submerged trees and lots of brush piles and rock piles...some cliff like drop offs...and some sand bars... I have been out of the "serious fishing" for a while now and want back in! Just bought a brand new Caymas! ...I am reasonably sure there are a whole lot of new hi-tech lines out there and obviously some "good ole" standby lines. Your suggestions and reviews would be appreciated...thanks in advance for your input.
    Respectfully, Ed

    I do a lot of pitching jigs into all the crazy stuff and just ordered two spools of 18 lb Sunline Shooter two hours ago.

    I use P line C21 for just about anything I don't use braid for, it's cheap, casts great, and thin for it's lb test strength.

    Thanks! I think I'll try it on my two Carolina rig rods with a fluorocarbon leader.

    Can't go wrong with Seagar Red label for FC & Power Pro for Braid
    And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

    Seagar InvisX is a great line, but pricey.

    Thanks for all of your kind input gentlemen! I went with Trilene Big Game for my Striper trolling rigs, Sunline Crank for my crankbait of rigs, Sunline Shooter and Sunline Sniper the bulk of my rigs, and Beyond Braid for my Carolina rigs, and Berkley Cajun for my crappie rigs. Now all I need is some good weather! Can't wait for Spring! All the best to you!
