I think it depends on the fish. I keep a reel with 12# mono, 12# fluro, 10# mono and 10# fluro. The fluro will make your bait run a little deeper than the mono. If your bait has a tendency to rise slowly the fluro will hold it down. But sometimes you want it to rise or sink slowly? I seldom use 8# line. The type of water I fish with a jerkbait I don't need the extra thin line, I want a little more strength. But try some of both, and let the fish tell you what works best that day. If I do find the mono is working best, I almost always use green in that. i have seen the slightest diffrence in the bait, sinking slowly or rising slowly or setting perfectly still make all the diffrence in getting a bite or not. Then there are days it doesn't matter. Try some of both mono and fluor. Works for me.

I use superline with a leader, sometimes Sufix or Power Pro 4/15 or Fireline 4/10 both with fluoro leaders about 8' long or so in the 10-pound test range.

Superline for me also. I like 4/15, but 6/20 works for me also. The SL floats and gives me better contact for those hard to see tic's.

Quillback - I 2nd the Seaguar 10# invizx. I use this most of the time for jigs so it helps with not having to many different lines in the bag.
