I highly recommend using a flouracarbon leader while fishing topwater, crankbaits, jerkbaits, and even while puting bait on the bottom. In most places fish become line shy and will not take bait if they can see the line.
On my reel that has braided line the set up is as follows: 125 – 150 yards of 12 pound mono attached to 30 pound braid attached to about 6 foot flourocarbo leader.
Good Luck and Tight Lines

I don’t actually use fluorocarbon for fishing top water lures or in-fact flies, that’s simply because it sinks, its 3x heavier than water and find that it affects the performance of the top water baits, you will still catch if you use it just i prefer not to, if your using deep diving crank-baits etc then yes i use it all the time, if your fishing top water lures i like to use a quality co-polymer like sufix.

Should I string my wacky worm rod with fluorocarbon line? I usually use 8 to 10 lb test mono. How much stretch does this have?
Should you switch to Fluoro or stick with mono…well it depends. I switched to fluoro for fishing weightless Yum Dingers a couple of years ago and I have mixed feelings about it. I tend to fish the Dinger on a medium action spinning rod, so the low stretch fluoro has improved my hook-up percentage. I also like the fact that the fluoro is less visible in the clear water that I usually fish. On the other had, I miss the fact that mono would float and I could rely on visual as well as tactile clues to a fish taking the worm. Overall though, I am glad that I switched. I use 10 lb exclusively. Fluoro is less visible so you can get away with heavier line.

i’m assuming that you want a vanishing flouro for its visibility out of water (?) i would go with berkley’s vanish line of flouro. they have regular line that, well, vanishes when under water but can be well seen above water. they also have the vanish “gold” series that does the same thing only the line is a gold color but again, it disappears completely under all types of water. i personally prefer those two products as well as many pros on bass circuits. Berkley has in my opinion the best flouro out there.

What Kind of fishing line is best for a baitcasting reel? and how many Lbs?
Braided Superline? Monofilament? Fluorocarbon?
10? 12? 20? 30? 40? 50? 65?
That is strictly a preference issue. You have to experiment to find out what works best for you.
In my opinion, Baitcasters work best with line diameters ranging from 10LB and UP, (12-17LB being about perfect).
Most of my Baitcaster’s have 14LB diameter Mono line spooled up with a leader of Flurocarbon. With a leader of Fluro, (and a Mono mainline), I get the best of all worlds……this works well for me.
I save the Braid for heavy duty, high abrasion, area’s for "Flippin" and fishing HEAVY weeds & wood structure/rip rap. However, the diameter of my line still stays around 10-12LB when using braid.
Here are some general rules I use with line-
1. Always use Mono for any Topwater fishing. Mono "floats" higher than Braid or Fluro and is easier to manage when using lures that float.
2. Try to use a line diameter bigger than 10-12LB if your new to B-casting. Larger diameter lines are MUCH easier to manage & cast than smaller lines; esp when your learning.
3. When your choosing lures remember that Braid and Fluro sink quicker than Mono. So, if you want a lure to "fall slowly", (and stay in the strike zone longer), Mono would be a better choice.
Otherwise, try various brands and line types until you find one YOU like.
Hope this helps ya? Good luck.
