i have lures that weight 1ounce trough 2 0unces , what line test would you use?

Answer 1

25 lb test, add a steel leader of 40 lb test joined with a double uni-knot. Good luck

Answer 2

With lures that heavy you want at least 15 pound test. Probably 20 or higher. The fish you'd be trying to catch with a 1 - 2 oz. lure justifies using heavy line.

Answer 3

How deep, how far are are you throwing your lure?
If I was trying to catch bluefish off the coast of Delaware, using a one ounce lead head, I'd stick with 20; I can cast it a long way.
But there again, if I am bottom bouncing same jig head in 75 feet of water for Grouper, 30lb is gonna be my choice. two ounces of same lead head at 30 feet in Santee Cooper SC to hook up with winter stripers in the conversion canal is gonna be painful if I dont have 25 lb with lots of backing.
I would start at 20, and depending on conditions, change according to need. Absolutely no less than Berkely Big game 17.

Answer 4

2 to 6 pound test

Answer 5

I would use a minimum of 17lb test Trilene XT monofilamentor 20lb Berkely Big Game. You might check the specs on your rod to see what it's rated for and depending on what type cover your fishing before selecting which to use.

I have a provided a link to Berkely for you to help make your choices based upon the type of water your fishing.

Answer 6

i would suggest using a monofiliment 7-10 lbs test should work for you

Answer 7

6-8 lb test

obviously ..adjust the size of lure... with the size of line ...with the size of fish...

Answer 8

I always use 20 lb test "just in case", unless I'm bait-fishing.

Answer 9

depends on the type of fish you are fishing for.
