I use 10lb Berkley Vanish fluorocarbon on all my cranking setups (shallow to deep and by deep I mean 20ft +). Is that the gospel, absolutely not, take it for what it’s worth. I have friends that throw 8lb to 15lb mono, and they catch plenty of bass on crank baits. Never really heard of anyone using braid on a cranking setup, but it’ll work. With all of that being said, I catch more bass than my friends with my cranking setup (could be luck, could be skill), but I believe it’s all in my line choice. My lure dives quickly to the intended depth, I feel bottom better and my lure stays in the strike zone longer. I believe I owe that to the 10lb fluorocarbon that I use. I’m actually not a fan of fluoro on anything else but a cranking setup. Take my advice as a grain of salt, but hopefully this will kind of give you some guidance or some ideas to toss around.
