Fun post! Thanks for creating it!
Spinning- I've tried everything from braid, mono, fluoro, and fireline. I always go back to the Berkley 6-12lb in the red box. Real technical I know...
Casting- On my baitcasting reels for bass, I just use a 20lb braided line and start with an 8' leader of 10lb fluorocarbon that usually winds up being 2 feet after a few trips haha!
I use a round reel baitcaster for catfishing and have it filled with 60lb hi vis yellow braid. Then I use typically 15lb berkley big game from the swivel to my hook.
Sturgeon set ups are both in 50lb Berkley big game on conventional reels.
Flyfishing I use Rio trout series. I'm not an expert at flyfishing, but I've found the 2 best pieces of equipment flyfishing are your rod and your line. I've tried cortland, scientific anglers (cheaper stuff... not the sharkskin), rio, and 2 of the cabelas prestige and prestige premier (i think) and hands down the rio trout series has been the best. I don't think I'll ever use anything ever again, even if there are better lines, I found one that works well for me. Leaders for me vary, but I like the umpqua tapered leaders, or if I'm fishing the Owyhee I'll use the cabelas fluorocarbon leaders.
