i was always a fan of gamma in 4lb clear i put the screws to steel alot of times and it always preformed well 4 me now gamma is no longer avail

Gamma was my go to line. I was pretty upset when I found out I couldnt by it anymore. Now I'll be trying a bunch of new line this year and niether one of them will be seagaur or berkley. I've used them both and I'm not a fan.

Wow Thanks for all the input. It's been educational. I will be using a 10 ft rod with ultra light spin reel. What about a 6# main mono and a 6# flouro leader? If the conditions are low and clear i will have the fluoro leader and if the warter is a bit stained i can go with straight mono. Thanks Everyone.

Thats all you need .... On my spinning set ups I use an 8lb mono baseline with a 6-8 lb floro leader depending on conditions  . I do not enjoy losing $5.00 lures and with the size of Erie tribs you do not need to cast that far eliminating the need for smaller diameter mono base line . The 6lb florocarbon will catch fish in the lowest & clearest conditions . The lower it is the longer leader you will need . Tight lines <>< <>< <><

I almost always use the palomar knot....tie the flouro to the swivel that way bings.

Also, keep in mind, when using a little heavier mainline; it allows you a broader/larger range of leader sizes you can run according to the conditions. If you're only running 6# mainline you're pretty much limited to 5# or under tippet material. I often times like to run up to 8# leader in higher muddy conditions. I like to horse those fish right to the bank!
