re: Lightest line you use for bass? Not braid

I use 8 as a leader for my drop shot and wacky rig. 10 on some deep crankbaits if I am trying to get a 8 or 10xd way down there but I normally throw them on 12-15 and just upsize my crankbait. I find i get more bites throwing a 6xd on 15 pound line where I can throw a 5xd on 10
