which sinking line for smallmouth rivers?

[DaleW]

To those of you fishing sinking lines in smallie rivers, which ones and why?

In my neck of the woods we have some "black water" rivers with some respectable deep holes and I like to fish from my canoe. Here's where I get a lot of use out of sinking lines and it seems to me the use is harder on them then on the floating lines.

May I suggest, start basic (and cheaper), by that I mean I use the standard ole "high performance, general purpose" S.A. line, available at a lot of WallyMart stores for about $12.00 - for what I do they work just fine and about one good season of use, they'll be used the following season for another purpose ... like maybe holding up the tomatoe vines in the garden!
