Crappie Line

[Ealy]

I've been using the Mr. Crappie 4 lb camo color line for the last couple of years. Before that I always used 4 lb Stren in either clear or hi-vis gold. At Pomme de Terre, the fish don't seem bothered by the high-vis gold line. It also makes it easier to watch for that pop in your line when they're biting light.

I'm wondering what you all use. I'm looking for a line with very little memory, good castability, and good sensitivity. I have always fished 4 lb for crappie, but am open to suggestions. 99% of the time I'm fishing with 1/16th oz jigs.

Have you tried a light braided line like a 10/2 or an 8/1. They have good feel, no strecth and great castability. With Pomme de Terre's mostly off colored water they might do the trick for you.

I like 4 pound silver thread.

I know I am bringing up an old topic here, but I think 4# P-Line Floroclear is the best small line. It has a little stretch with the copolymer core, but also has the abrasion resistance with the fluorocarbon coating. Just my 2 cents.

These 2 were caught with P-Line.

I'll second the nomination for P-Line FC. It's the best handling line for spinning reels I've ever used, and it's tough as nails to boot.

I use it on all my crappie and smallmouth rods....and I use it for tippet on all my warmwater fly rods. Love the stuff

Yo-Zuri makes some great fishing line. It's flouro coated monofilament (same diameter as mono with MUCH less stretch). I will always use the Mr. Crappie line as back up, but Yo-Zuri 4 lb. test is about the same price (5 or 6 bucks at Pro Bass for a 1/4 lb. spool). I think it only comes in clear, but you might want to give it a try.
