Wire is a PITA. Lead core is a PITA. I'm with piemma. Mono is nice when fighting a fish but braid is just so easy to deal with. You don't need nearly as much weight to get down deep, swimming plugs dig better and when the *thump* *thump* of the rod stops, you know you're weeded up.
If you're using it mostly for trolling, I'd get the Diawa Saltiga Braided Line. It changes color every 10 yards so you can accurately play around with how much line to put out that gives the best results.
As a note with braid, I'd definitely put a ball-bearing swivel on and a length of mono or fluorocarbon leader material between the running line and lure.
