    Choosing one all around fishing line?

    We fish some but not near enough. We are headed to Arkansas next month where we could potentially catch trout up to 15lb strippers. I want to replace the line on all our reels with something that might work well. Any recommendations?

    If your trout fishing, you’ll want something around 6# test.

      I'd personally try for one a lot bigger. 15 pounds is an awful small stripper. Not much to look at

      But for fishing line that good and don't break the bank trilene. Big game or XL

        Tilene big game! 12 lb test with a 20 lb fluro leader for stripers and you can put a 6lb leader on for trout

          To be honest I won’t be trying specifically targeting strippers but by watching videos of bill shoals lake it’s a possibility. When on the lake I’m hoping for a few of those 3-5lb white bass.
          And in the river I’m just hoping the wife and kids can catch some trout.
          Had not thought about the leader ideas. I’ve been practicing my fly casting so it should have triggered something in my brain.
          I would love to catch a big stripper though

            Trilene Big Game is on just about every reel we own.

                    I don't like big strippers. I hear the best line is, "hey baby, there are more hundreds where that one came from.

                    ".

                      So many mono guys. 20# braid will cover you for all situations, and adjust leader according to targeted species.

                        I have Trilene Big Game on every single reel i own. I tried all the other hoopla out there and ran back to big game.

                          I use this on our spinning reels, with a fluro leader. But only because I can't, for the life of me EVER spool mono on a spinning reel without it wanting to "jump off".

                            I’d hope not if you’re intent is to fish and there are kids around. Now, if it’s adults only, that sounds like one heck of a bachelor party!
