Hey guys, I just got a new set up- P5 Mark 56 with a Curado 200. I'm stumped on what line to spool it with. I'm planning on throwing Magdrafts, I-Wings, I-Slides, TKs, etc. On my other, bigger glide rod I run 65lb MaxCuatro to 20lb Big Game and I haven't had a backlash cast off since switching from fluorocarbon. Would that be overkill for the downsized baits? I'm kinda apprehensive to throw anything expensive on straight fluorocarbon (although it may have been user error). What lines are y'all throwing for these 1-3 oz baits?

Hello all, I know this is a frequent topic- but I'm looking for recommendations on a swimbait set-up pertaining to J hooked soft swimbaits in the range of 2-5 ounces, that could occasionally toss a downsized treble hooked bait. I mainly fish in Northern IL, so Bluegill imitators and baits 5-7 in would be my main deal. I'd love to spend less money, but I'm also aware in this style of fishing, quality is important (and multiple rods may be the reality). For baits, I have Bacca Burritos and Nachos, 6-7.8 in Keitechs, Coalition Gills, Savage Gear 4Plays, Hudds, Pistol Pete's, etc on my mind. I'm also keeping in mind that Pike and Muskie (if I'm lucky) would potentially be caught.
