    What line for jerkbait/topwater combo?

    I have a mojo jerkbait rod that I use for jerkbaits and topwaters. I also throw some strike king 1.0 square bill cranks on them. Sometime i will throw a 1/4 texas rig or 3/8 big hammer. I dont own a boat so I cant have 10 rods etc.

    What line would you guys go with? It had Suffix 12lb on it before.

    I like floro for jerk sits but not top water b/c it sinks.

    14lb trilene xl clear is a pretty good all around line.

    If you're gonna use it for both, I'd stick with the 12lb Sufix Siege or Elite.

    For the money, Trilene Big Game is hard to beat.
    I can't fish a lick!
