Depends on how clear the water is. We all have mostly different versions of ” clear”. Thos eof us that fish a lot of deep, clear, rocky resevoirs know clear as being near gin clear or as clear as the water you drink. You can fish Norfolk and at times see fish on the bottom in 18 ft of water or more. Beaver, Table Rock, and others are similar clarity. The guys up north know clear as even more clear. Those that fish rivers or water with more nutrients in it refer to clear as a greenish tint, or no junk floating in it. Just depends. As far as line, there are a lot of good flourocarbons out there nowadays. Im a big fan of Gamma, but it is the most expensive. Great line though. The new Trilene Professional Grade Flouro is also great line and is a few bucks cheaper than Gamma. Cant go wrong with Seaguar either and it is a pretty fair priced line. Viscious makes pretty good line also. Most applications somewhere around 8 lb test is going to do the trick, but if it is especially clear possibly even 6 lb test. Remember, cold water makes any line brittle and react a little differently as far as how it handles and its tensile strength.
