I still like the 12lb test, the lighter line you use the further you can cast and more you can hold on the reel.

It's all trial and error, the best thing to do is fish as often as you can.

Be sure you don't have the drag set to tight, you'll be amazed the size fish you can get on light line.

Hit your local bait and tackle shop if you're unsure, they'll point you in the right direction. Good luck
