I currently use 20# fluorocarbon fishing line for tenor ukulele high G and A strings......what about C and E? C=60#?, E=40#? much thanks.
 
I use Seagur brand fishing line; A-30lb, E-50lb, C-60lb and G-40lb
 
I like this combination on my "strummer" tenors:

1 = Seaguar Pink Label 30 LB, .020"
2 = Seaguar Pink Label 50 LB, 0.026”
3 = Seaguar Pink Label 80 LB, 0.032”
4 = D'Addario EXP (sliver wound low G), .028"

For single string improvisation I like to dig in on the higher pitches and use a little heavier A string on those tenors: Seaguar Pink Label 40 LB, .022". Been trying Seaguar Salmon fluorocarbon for the A and E (same test/diameter) and they work great as well but are slightly brighter sounding than Pink. Both Pink and Salmon are pretty shred resistant compared to Blue (which seems to fall apart quickly for me).
