What do you recommend for this test line…what brand and what specific type? I’m looking to use it mostly for pulling bass out of thick cover with top water frogs and such.

hi Tip,
I say that both 10 and 12 pound is too light for what you want to use it for. “FROGGING in the slop.” I love slop fishing for bass, for me there is not a better time to be on the water. You need equip and line that can handle a big fish in heavy weeds. Your 12 pound line would be okay ‘most’ of the time for bass under 2 pounds, and that is NOT the time to test your line on a heavy fish. My FROGGIN rod is 6’6″ med/hvy, with a 6500C reel(musky reel), and braided Stealth 50 pound test. I’ve NEVER lost a big bass because of equipment failure. Set it up right from the start, and you won’t be sorry. Good Luck and take your camera, and report back. Jack…
