Im planning to fish jerkbaits, crank baits and maybe a few soft plastics
I want to use this as the main line and then attach 10-12 lb fluoro fluoro

I think it depends what you’re going for! Since it’s cooling down in most areas, bass are much more sensitive, so I try to go as light as I can. But if you’re using this as your main line and have a lighter leader, you should be more than fine!

Yes, that would work. Tie a double uni as the leader knot. Alternatively you could use straight fluorocarbon with no braid

This should be ok for what you intend to use it for. Does tend to be more buoyant then other line types so if you want to fish plastics on the bottom then it might not be good unless you’re Carolina rigging with a heavy sinker.

I hate braid for anything with treble hooks. For soft plastics its definitely the move. If you have a spinning rod, 30lb braid will be great but thats a bit thin for a baitcaster. It will dig into itself on the spool and you’ll hit a wall on casts every now and again.

Yes I use 30lb braid for a wide variety of applications on baitcasters. Its too heavy for spinning reels, it kills your distance. I crank with 30lb braid even, I just use a softer rod and play the fish easier than if I were using fluorocarbon. Finesse applications is the only time I use a leader
