Fishing heavy jigs

[JerryC]

Guys, when fishing a 1/2 oz jig or heavier, what line do you use? Clear water? Deep water? Stained?

Thanks

20lb or 22lb shooter is what i'm going to use from now on. was using 50lb fx2 but i have to admit i got more bites with flouro.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if braid with a fluoro leader would work for deep bass in 20'+ deep of water of should i go straight fluoro? I never jig for bass that deep but may be my only choice in some spots..

i was using 50lb fx2 with 20lb leader and i found i had some break off due to abrasions because of the heavy cover i fish in. I also hated to retie due to line damage, the leader always needs to be changed. I now go braid in heavy cover and flouro in weeds and docks.

50 - 60 pound power pro! nothing less and no leader needed.
