Hello everyone!

I was wondering what should my main line be for jigging for lakers on Simcoe? Would 10 lbs be enough? I don't have much experience with catching or fishing for lake trout Any advice on preparing my ice rod would be appreciated friends! Thank you!

In the past I’ve ran 10lb mono. But this year I’m switching to 10-20lb braid with an 8lb florocarbon leader.
