Hey guys, before I buy new line to spool my reels with I wanted to get some educated opinions on what line I should use. What do you use when targeting pan fish? Type, test, color? What about for larger fish like walleye or trout? Anyone use braid for smaller fish too? Do you use a barrel swivel at all to tie to a leader or directly to the jig/lure?

As of right now I only have 3 spinning reels. Looking at possibly buying the Frabill 271 or 261 in the off season, so if you have any experience using mono or braid with that as well I would like to hear about it. Thanks fellas
