Line

6# Flourocarbon on one spinning reel
6# Mono on another spinning reel
12lb P-Line on most baitcasters
60# Spiderwire for flipping

As for that white chalk you see on new line, It is used in the manufacturing process especially with monofilament and is not anything to worry over. Just run your line through a cloth towel when you are winding it onto your reel to remove it.

8 lb test, mono or flouro on my spinning rods
10-12 lb on most of my baitcasters.
20 lb mono for pitchin into heavy cover, Silver Lake
Probably 17-20 lb flouro/mono for my new swimbait rod

I just haven't got into braid yet. When I start catching fish on frogs consistently I'll think about switching.

6lb. mono on drop shot rod
8lb. flourocarbon tube rod
10 lb. flourocarbon soft stick bait(senko)rod
12 lb mono crankin rod
12 lb carolina/dragging rod
15-17lb flourocarbon spinnerbait rod
20 lb. flourocarbon flippin stick
If there is a bunch of wood I won't use braid. It seems to wrap too easily. I am going to try braid on my carolina rig rod with a flourocarbon leader this year. I think the added sensitivity will really help feel the light bites.

I would not recommend using braid with frogs because it soaks in alot of water and gets heavy causing the line to sink. The heavy line will force your frog to dip low leading to more snags and hang-ups. Use mono with frogs as it tends to float better keeping your frog higher and more snag resistant.
