    Getting ready to start tying walleye crawler harness for the summer. I’ve typically used Berkley Trilene XT to tie my harness/bait rigs. Wondering what everyone prefers for line?

    I have had very good luck with 12 to 14-pound Berkley Vanish.

    I tried 10-pound and seemed to get bit off by northerns pretty regularly. Almost never get bit off with the 12-pound.

    I’ve tested just about every line out there and found Seaguar Red Label Fluro to be the most durable. 15 lb for harnesses and the same line in 6 lb for rigs.

    Mine are for murky to muddy water, I use trilene XT because I have found it to be the most abrasion resistant. 12# for spinners.

    14# vanish or 10# vanish in lakes that don’t have all the annoying snakes around.

    I use 14# SpiderWire Stealth down to a 6′ Seaguar Fluorocarbon 6# leader. Works great!

    And for snaggy areas such as rivers or for pulling around submerged timber, I prefer the Seaguar Abrasix.

    “Nice pants, baby. What’s the drop rate?”

    I may have miss understood the subject line.

    I tried Fluro last year, and it did not take me long to run right back to Trilene XT for my rigs …
