If I mainly fish lakes with bass, walleye trout and catfish what would be my best general catch all braided line weight? Also, any preference in colors you guys have? I want to get some braided for the first time to start trolling in my kayak with a mono leader

I've never gone wrong with Fireline, 6 or 8 lb., smoke or green color

Good luck. Watch your fingers on braids. A knot tug to tighten will cut you where mono wouldn't. My right index finger has a permanent cut from March to November!

Since I'm in Ohio, freshwater is all i do, and I've used a Clinch knot exclusively for decades. Whatever the line, a clinch has never let me down.

On average, what's a ballpark estimate for lure weight/line strength for salt water fishing? I realize different fish=different tackle, but what do you fish for and what do you use?
