Best line choices for glide baits and swimbaits

While there are glide baits and swimbaits on the market that are small enough to throw on a lighter rod and reel with lighter line, for the sake of this blog we are going to address the bigger glide baits and multi-jointed swimbaits that are 6-inches or longer. Choosing the proper line to throw these types of baits can be a daunting task.

While using 20-30-pound test fluorocarbon might seem simple enough when it comes to throwing big baits, we know that there is so much more to it than that as there are so many different fluorocarbon lines that we offer. Plus, there are several other options that anglers can choose from outside of just fluorocarbon. So, let's talk about it here.
