Devils Lake set up, or anywhere else for that matter.

20 lb SpiderWire Stealth for main line.

10 pound Trilene Professional Grade Floro for a leader.

Use a small barrel swivel to attach leader to main line.

Todays Tackle Wave Buster Bobber.

Pre-tie several jigs and hooks on 24 inch leaders and store on a pool noodle piece about a foot long.

Whenyou get snagged, just break the leader and tie a new one on.  No need to even adjust the knot.

If you want to fish lighter line at other lakes, just use lighter leaders.

I like a mono that doesn't absorb water a special steelhead float fishing line called Siglon F.  Works great doesn't float per say but lays on top of the water and allows for easy pick up when you get a bite you are right on the fish with no bow in your line for the swing and a miss.

If using braid a trick that works great is to put fly floatant on it or silicon to help prevent it from absorbing water and helping it to stay on the surface. 

I use the setup similar to Johnnie -

14lb Fireline (Flame Green) for the main line - that way I can see where the line is laying on the water and more precisely time my hookset.

8lb 100% Fluorocarbon for the leaders. Small Berkley ball bearing swivel between the two. I do like the Wave Buster Bobber. It flys good and is easy to determine if you are set too deep (bobber does not stand up).

 Thanks for the responses.  I have some Fireline 14 on hand and will give it a try.  I have been using swivels and will continue to use Fluorocarbon leaders, since the seem to be the most effective. 

Johnnie, thanks for the tip on pre-tying the leaders, it seems like something simple but it will save a lot of time when the fish are biting.

Be sure to watch the knots you tie with that Fireline...I believe most people suggest using a Palomar knot...interested in hearing what others are tying with Fireline.

Johnnie and Keith what do you guys think of the thill slip bobbers?? I bought the kit at cabelas. Should I take it back and buy wave buster instead?
