What lb line would you use?

What lb line would you use for a Avon rod with a 1.75tc?

[Banana Steve]

any thing from 4lb to 10lb, depends what you targeting

That's what I thought. Could go as low as 3?

no I dont think so, if you need to use 3lb line perhaps you need to use another rod, my main rod is a north western 1.5 tc barble, this rod has caught me loads of carp chubb and barble, but once I put 4lb line on it, and found the line breaking,as the rod was not able to do its job, so I never go below 6lb, most 1.75 tc rods I have seen say 6 to10 or 12 ftlb lines, on my 1.5 tc I use 8lb

Cheers, I was thinking about 6lb was right but my friend thought otherwise. Thanks for helping to clear that up.

If your kingfisher rod a match rod then I wouldn't go above 4lb. 3lb has always been my preference. If it is a power waggler rod than between 4-7lb. The above post was to settle an argument between me and a friend who thought you could use light lines on stiff rods.
