What do you use for topwater line?
I am wondering what line everyone uses for topwater poppers, and smaller walking plugs?

I've Defier Armilo in the past but now use the regular (green) Defier Shooter. It's the best handling line I've ever used.

braid to a leader like everything else.
Re: What do you use for topwater line?
The 30lb. braid with leader is the best for ultra-long distance casting/fast moving schooling fish where you want the bait working as quickly as possible after hitting the water a long distance away. The Defier Armilo is very hard and abrasion resistant with very little stretch. It is awesome for working your bait at the end of a long cast also, but it won't cast quite as far as 30lb. braid. The Defier Shooter is the best handling mono in my opinion and it is great for close quarters casting where a little more stretch can be a good thing.
I have been fishing the 15lb. Armilo for topwater the last two seasons and I really love the way that I can throw a 1/2oz Super Spook Jr. a long distance and have it walking perfectly immediately. It's the best compromise if you are going to fish your topwaters in all kinds of conditions and you don't want to have more than one topwater rod rigged up.

Re: What do you use for topwater line?
i mostly fish medium walking baits and medium poppers. rarely make long hard casts fishing topwater due to area we fish. i had been using luckycraft iron athlete topwater line but cant fine it anymore.
