3lb or 4lb for trout?

[the killa fish taco]

What lb test do you prefer for trout fishing and what make? I've been getting broken off lately on 3 lb P-Line straight floro...

[jaggerbub]

I use either 4 lb pline or maxima in green. Never broken off because of the line on either brand. I used to fish 2 lb but i've found no difference between the catch ratio so i just use the 4 lb just incase i hook into a dd fish.

I use 2-lb. clear Ande almost exclusively, except on the trolling rod and then it's 6-lb. Ande. Doesn't have a breaking problem if kept fresh. Change it out at the beginning and halfway through the local season, again if it gets scuffed. Of course more often is better, the point being it's durable.
I don't believe in fluorocarbon, just not necessary.

I use 4# izor mostly. But i have also used 3# maxima. They are both great lines.

4 lb Pline Floroclear has worked for me in Irvine and many other lakes as well...It also casts great for trout spoons,trolling your(insert diving crankbait name here) ,sitting on shore with a carolina rig with powerbait,etc.
For what its worth,I have dropshotted for bass with 3(!) lb Floroclear and it has great strength vs. stretch properties.
Just make sure if you buy some,that its as fresh a spool as possible.Basspro has 600 yd. spools which should last the average fisherman a whole season!
Hope this helps!
