what lbs line should i use?

[smoothest485]

i havent actually caught a catfish yet. like i said im new to fishing so i figured i would need a catfishing setup to catch some. i was planning on getting a cheap ugly stick from walmart and just going from there.

but i use the triline knot. its pretty easy for me and seems to be pretty effective except when i put spinners on that 8lb line it snaps when i cast. and i figured im using triline XT fishing line why not use their knot.

what do u think the best knot would be?
