Hey Violet, nice dozen there ! Gonna be a big fish fry.
You may want to try some braided line. Brand and weight is pretty much up to your personal preference. I have been using 30 lb. Spider Wire GloVis (so I can see it). Not had any break offs by fish. Have had a couple snags on the river I had to break off purposely. But have only caught several Carp on braid this year. Also trying a spool of 30 lb. Mono, Orange Catfish line, that's so I can see it too. So far all the Cats I've caught this year (only 4) have been on that orange mono. No breakoff's. It does stretch a bit, and it sure isn't made for any finesse casting. But with a big chunk of cut bait on a 6/0 Circle hook, and a couple ounces of weight, the line stays on the bottom real good, and I can see it all the way to the water.
Anyway, nice batch of Cats you guys got. Say hi to Richard.
