>>648718I use the spiderwire because it's tough and doesn't get messed up on the rocky bottoms around here. I use 40 lb test because the diameter matches the manufacturer recommendations for both the rod and reel. I use 15 to 20 lb mono leaders on Carolina or 3-way rigs for catfish.
And cats aren't line shy, I think you could catch even 2-3 lb fish on 50 lb mono. They just don't care.
