Question? What type and weight would be used pitching a 1/2 oz. jig, mono, Fluorocarbon, or braid? Just started pitching a 1/2 oz. jig using 30# Power Pro.

20# Floro leader to your 30# braid is my set up and seems to work well around reeds and rocks.

I'm partial to straight 20 lb Seaguar Invizx. No braid. No knots.
Ranger Z-20, Yamaha F225.
If I'm fishing anything except wood I prefer braid, 30-40 pound.
If I'm fishing wood I will use anywhere from 17-25 pound flouro.
Fish have fins, they swim
12-15 pound Maxima Fluorocarbon
ideally I'd like to use braid in grass and weeds but in reality I just use 20lb fluoro because that's what I spool up on my flipping rod
THE MORE YOU SAY THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT YOU ANYWAYS
uni-knot
15 pound floro fishing deep
20 pound mono/floro shallow and under docks and in wood
30-65 braid In Weeds -- and with a leader of 15-20 floro if you want to bomb cast and swim
blood knot for me
Mercury 250 proxs 2B115089
15-20lb Izorline for me
50 pound braid rite to the bait, flipping weed/wood/docks. Works for me

This is a great guide to line selection by lure. Might sway your choice. I’ve referred to it for years.

Depends on cover and water clarity. Here in Florida, most guys are using 50 braid minimum and a lot are using 65. We have lots of heavy cover and stained water is pretty common.
50 lb braid. Heavy weed cover, pitching, dock skipping. 1/2 oz jig is my go to bait.

Merc V8 200 4S
Usually 30# braid. We have heavy cover down here but I usually pitch 3/8 oz jigs because a 1/2 oz gets too deep for our muck bottoms.
I just bought and had great success with Sunline FC Sniper Flippin line. It has about 3' clear and then a foot of bright fluorescent green that makes it very easy to see. Tie bait on the clear section. 25 lb. for bushes-20 lb. for docks.
