Golfisher Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 We've had long threads on braided line and fluoro, and so we might as well complete the circle by talking about mono. Before I went PP, Trilene Sensation used to be my choice of mono line. Not sure why though; it was the first line I used, and I pretty much stuck to it as a matter of path dependence. So, what's your favourite mono line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Well i pretty much only use line with co-polymer,thats if im bottom bouncing becuase it will stand up to more abraison on all the rocks and zebra muscles but for spinning i like trilene or spiderwire mono...the good stuff not the canadian tire spiderwire for 10 bucks a spool....i use several different lines depending what species im fishing for and i use flouro as well p-line works too....cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Maxima Ultragreen is good for my float reel, although I am going to try the Chameleon this year. Trilene XL for light spinning reel line P-Line is also a good choice. Some of the new hybrid lines look interesting, but are a couple of bucks more than the regular mono. Not sure if they are worth it yet... Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Trilene XL for my spinning reels and Trilene XT for my bass baitcaster (the other gets 50lb PP and the muskie reels get 65lb & 80lb braid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdej Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Trilene XL, but got a 4# spool of the MAXX that I'm loading on the ultra light. My guess is it will be great. Trilene mono is an old standby that you know you can trust. I agree that some of the P-Line high bread mono's look interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfville Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Berkley Big Game 10lb - 15lb depending on the targeted water and fishing method. Bought some Maxima Ultragreen (75%off, can't pass that deal) and will give that a try this year on some of the reels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Urban Fisherman Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Trilene XL smooth casting! I've also used 6lb Stren on my ultralight and I have to say I was impressed! Saved a few lures that got snagged in the trees across the creek! Cheers, UF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookinforwalleye Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 My 2 favorites are Stren for the spinning reels and Trilene for the baitcasters. I actually bought a spool of BPS brand mono on sale last year on sale just see if it was any good and I have to say it`s very good for the money.

Canuck2fan Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have been using Raven flourescent green 6lb mono for my main line on my steelheading reels. I like how tough it is, the 40% savings over trilene XT and how easy it is to see versus the low vis green 4lb trilene XT I use for leaders.

MJL Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Excalibur Silverthread (Copolymer) and P-line Floroclear (Hybrid) on the spinning reels. Other than those I have Raven mono loaded on my centrepins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishHeadRic Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) P-line Co-poly has been my line of choice for the past few years but I also like the Yo-Zuri Co-poly. It's just hard to find up here in Canada. FHR Edited April 5, 2007 by FishHeadRic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpcbear2000 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Trilene XL smooth casting works great for me in 6-8 lb. would not mind trying Yo-Zuri Hybrid, read up a little on it. Edited April 6, 2007 by bpcbear2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
