Was reading today about David Fritt's cranking setup. He uses 15 to 20 lb braid.
I've always been a fluorocarbon guy, but the article made me debate, so I leave it up to the poll
Fluorocarbon or braid for mainline for crank baits?
Thanks

Think like a fish, no matter how weird it gets
I use braid. I want to use fluoro but braid is so much more sensative that I can tell exactly what my crankbait is bouncing off of (or not) and I can't with the few fluoro's I've tried.
braid with a flouro leader
12# Sunline Sniper FC for all cranks. 16# for squarebills, or shallow cranks in heavy cover.

I use flouro. Braid will work, but you better have soft tipped rods to allow the fish to take the bait. No stretch.

12lb seaguar fluoro for crankbaits and 15lb fluoro for squarebills and rattlebaits.
I have used braid for rattlebaits and I just prefer fluoro.
Mono, ole school.
Abrazx Flouro - great abrasion resistance and just a little stretch.
