bigcreekdad Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 What is the thinnest and strongest 8-20 pound mono you have used?
bare foot wader Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 i've been a trilene person my whole life, I like sensithin...recently started using spiderwire ultimate mono (can't quite remember if that's the exact name right now) and am pretty impressed with it
mike rousseau Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 I don't know about thinnest... But the strongest toughest mono I know is Berkeley "big game" It's a great price... Like 8-10$ for a 1/4lb spool.... And tough as nails... I drag it across rocks... Muscles... And get lots of accidental musky on it and it does very well... Very stiff... if your putting it on a spinning reel it's not the best...
Joeytier Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Yep...big game and xt are great for baitcasters...super tough. I run XL on my spinning reels...ive yet to find a lighter mono I like more.

I use XL on spinning reels as well.
musky_hunter Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Sunline Super Natural Mono... best i've used and cheap ! $10 for a 330 spool

bigcreekdad Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Posted May 31, 2013 I will be using it on spinning reels
Ron Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Trilene XL for me thanks. Never had problems with the stuff so I have had no need to try something else.
brkygetr Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Said it before and I will say it again... Ande... No idea how thin it is, but married to right rod and real combo it is outstanding. I will however back the XT for abrasion resistence....you can bang that stuff on anything and it still holds up. Just not as subtle as the Ande.
Ainsley Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 I picked up some sunline super natural to try this year. Haven't even spooled it yet but I'm looking forward to using it for topwaters. In the past I've used XT or silver thread.
snagged Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Suffix siege has never let me down. More supple than Berkeley IMHO

I agree, I used big game back when I use to use Mono as my main line more.
young_one Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Sublime supernatural! Thinnest for the same lb rating.
danc Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Cabelas Pro Line for me. After a couple of decades I find no need to switch. "We feel so confident in our fishing lines, we invite you to field test any of our Cabela's lines against any other lines, regardless of price, for a period of 60 days. If you are not 100% satisfied, return them for a full refund, no questions asked."

Rich Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Trilene XL Armor Coat is up there, but I usually use Berkley Big Game and it's pretty darn tough.

If you want a good mono for your float rig, get some Drennan Super Speciallist Super Mono. Although you should just run Nanofil/braid instead Once you do, you'll never go back.
misfish Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 Quote Drennan Super Speciallist Super Mono. Good stuff Bill,but to stiff for me. I like a nice soft limp line.

Muskieman Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 Trilene XL on my spinning outfits and Trilene XT on baitcasts ... no problems ever .
hirk Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 I have not used every mono out there but I think stren magnathin is still after all these years and new mono lines the best for combining limpness, diameter, stretch and abrasion resistance all rolled into one.
danc Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 I think it's safe to say that mono has come a long way. It seems that everyone is happy with their choice. And that's a good thing.
