Line for spinning rig

[BlueBasser]

Hey guys I know there have been quite a few posts on line already but I have another one. I have a spinning rod that I would like to respool, I am looking for versatility. Something that I can use mostly for texas rigging, jigging or pitching tubes. I am a fan of PowerPro for my baitcasting rods, but I am wondering if I should go with heavier Mono for my spinning Rods. I would like to use the same rig for smallies in some clear water and largies in some not so clear water. Any thoughts? Thanks

BB,

Do you have 2 spools for this spinning reel? If you do, that would make it a lot easier for you. You can have about 6-10lb mono on one for the smallies in clear water. And on the other one I would put 20lb braid on there for the largmouth in the dirty water.

If you only have one spool to work with, maybe a smaller pound braid such as 10lb may work if the smallies don't shy away from it in the clear water.

I like the two spool idea of the previous post. However, I am mono guy when it comes to spinning outfits. Really, it's just the way I set the hook that restricts me to mono. I have straightened many a light wire hook with braid, so I stick to the built in shock absorbtion of mono. 8 pound XT green is my choice, but someone introduced me to Gamma line today. I like what I saw.

Thanks guys for the thoughts, I dont have two spools for the reel but that is a good idea. I am still on the fence a bit, but i leaning more towards PowerPro on that reel. Thanks for the advice!
