It depends on the type of bass fishing you are doing and the size of the fish you expect to catch. If you are casting lures with few underwater obstructions generally people use 6-10 pound line. If you are flipping and pitching into heavy vegetation you can use up to 50 pound braided line.

Since trout prefer clean, clear, cold water, use as light of a line as possible. I use four pound silver thread line. It's nearly invisible to fish.

It depends where you live and how big the pike are.If your fishing where there are a lot of snags or logs you will want to use heavier a pound test because Pike like to hang out by heavy cover. I live in northern Michigan and I use 30 pound braided line. It's best to use braided line because their mouth is hard and you will get a better hook set and you will want to use a steel leader.
