Floro on all my T rigs, Mono if I am using topwater buzzbait with a rocky bank and Braid in fishing heavy cover and frogs.
Baitcaster- Braid
Spinning- Mono or Fire line

Co-poly on all casters, mono on all spinning. I don't use flouro at all. And only use braid if I know I'll be flipping heavy brush/grass.
T-rigs? Co-poly? Wow, I am stuck in the 20th century
Mono for top water, Braid with fluoro leader for spinning gear, straight braid for grass, fluoro for everything else
As you can see, you're going to get every different answer/combination possible. Everyone has their preference. For me personally, I use different lines for different purposes based on the properties of the line. Read up on the different lines and their pros and cons, then experiment. You'll figure out what you like and what works best for you.

quality co-polymer on everything.
Either Silver Thread Excalibur, or Izorline XXX Super Co -polymer.
I use co-poly or mono on all treble hook baits, spinnerbaits,buzzbaits, and yes
even Alabama rigs. Braid on buzz frogs, spro frogs, swim jigs, flipping grass.
Fluro on jigs, tx rigs, c rigs, swimbaits, flukes, chatterbaits.
Braid for frog rod and one flipping stick.
Mono for top water.
Everything else is fluoro.
65lb braid with a frog, 50lb braid flipping heavy, 50lb braid heavy topwater, 10lb mono light topwater, fluro on all other casting rods, braid with fluro leader on all spinning

This was my thoughts exactly. I use all three depending on what I'm doing. But fluoro most of the time. Figure out what works for your area and your style of fishing.

I used to use braid, mono and flouro. I now use all baid, 15, 30 and 50. Really liking daiwa j braid x 8.

Old school mono on bait caster ...one or two with flouro. Spinning braid with half and half leader with flouro and mono leader .
Braid only here .. tie leaders on as needed .. I got tired of floro issues.. I know everyone is different but for me I cant tell you how many times I have broke that stuff. And I have used several brands ..
The only rod that sees mono is top water. Only rods that sees full flouro is cranking and jerk bait. Everything else is braid or braid with flouro leader. Mono on these newer high end Reels is like a carburetor on a new vehicle, outdated and not needed.
