Yeah; I agree there. Walmart has some good stuff at times; but sometimes you better get it while its hot because there are other times you won't find much of anything that helpful.

Dave, I've read where you use a lot of copolymer, because it's so versatile, but what would you recommend for C-rig main line & leader?

Thanks, everyone, for all the great info that's been posted in this thread.

Personally I think braided line with copolymer leader would be the optimum for the C-rig if the structure/cover you are fishing will allow for it. Here on Ky/Barkley I would stay with strictly copolymer as the chunk rock and mussels here will shred the braided line. I know some folks profess using a florocarbon leader but to me that makes no sense...to use a sinking line on a technique that I want the lure to suspend more or fall slowly.

As a note, I use 20lb Gamma copolymer main line and 12lb Gamma copolymer leader.
