I have a Daiwa Takara 2500 and im not sure what line to use i do alot of finese fishing?? suggestions?

For finesse fishing, the line to use is fluorocarbon, and I would recommend Trilene 100% fluorocarbon.

What line to use? It has been a long time since as young boy the question has grown from "Can we find some line for our old Mithchel 300?" Back then it was bigger is better because I don't want to lose a big fish I can show off to Dad. Later I discovered the use of the drag setting on the reel and I was moving up a stage in trophy hunting. Since then it has been a constant struggle to which line betters the other lines and what downfalls do they have. In the last couple of years I have moved mored to the Red Cajun line which seems to meet more of my needs. In the lower weights between 4lb. to 12lb. it is hard to beat. Hopefully, this Spring I will be able to move up to experimenting with the 20 ld. and maybe 30lb. What seems strange to me is that I initially went to the Red Cajun line because of its lack of visibility in the water. During the same time I was swithing to red hooks that followed the thoughts of a bleeding crippled bait. This game makes no sence but it sure stirs up the conversation in the bait shops and at the local "liars club' between meals. I went to Mexico to rebuild a church and clinic destroyed by a hurricane. Before we left some of local men invited me to go fishing. I can still remember riding that dusty country road where as far as you could see was water. They oped the trunk of the old car and handed me a very similar Mitchell 300 that I enjoyed as a youth--at least I remembered how it worked. They in turn appeared out of the trunk with 3 empty coke cans wrapped in coard or kite string. I guess it was the fact that they were locals and knew the waters much better than me. Deep in the depths of my heart I knew they had given me the best they had and outfished me with an ill conceived contrapsion. Have we forgotten that it is not the size of the fish, glitter of new rod and real but the fellowship of men, women, little children. Have you ever tried catching a fish on a hook made out of some animal bone. Have a great time on that next trip whether it be in another world or a creek behind the house and to put some cream on the cake "Take a kid!"

It really depends on the actual finesse technique, but overall I would look at 4-8 # test lines.

If you are fishing for bass, 8# test is a good choice in mono or fluoro depending on water clarity and a few other factors. If your water is exceptionally clear think about fluoro. For stained or murky water a green mono or even a braid might work better. Tom

first off i guise i would start off with the ? what are you fishing for ? most use 4- 8 lb line but you may go lighter or heavier 20 lb line could be considered finesse for musky.

For basic finesse fishing, I will use 8-10 lb test. I dont use fluorocarbon because for one its expensive and for two it sinks. I like to use topwater lures as much as I can. Fluorocarbon is a big NO-NO for topwater

Since I like to use Zoom finesse c tail worms, I would use 6# Berkley Trilene with a #2 Gamagatsu hook and 1/8 oz. worm hook. You get good distance and can feel the bait going over cover or rocks and even better you feel the fish pick the worm up and go with it.

My favorite for finese fishing is Berkley® Trilene® Sensation Line in 8# test. It has served me well.
