What Is the Best Fishing Line for Walleye? (Braid and Mono)

When spinning or jigging for walleye, your best choice of line is a 12-20lb braid. For trolling and slip bobber rigs, using a 6-14lb monofilament mainline is recommended.

What Is the Best Pike Fishing Line? (Mono and Braid)

Both braid and monofilament are great choices when it comes to picking your mainline for pike fishing. Braid is the perfect pick when spin fishing or fishing with dead baits, while mono is your number one choice for live bait fishing and trolling for pike.
