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

Posted

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...

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.

 

8lb mono runs anywhere from .008" to .012" in diameter. XT is one of the thinnest at .008". I use XL on spinning reels as well.

Sunline Super Natural Mono... best i've used and cheap ! $10 for a 330 spool

Wonder how good for float fishing?.The price is right!

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.

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.

I agree, I used big game back when I use to use Mono as my main line more.

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."

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.

Good stuff Bill,but to stiff for me. I like a nice soft limp line.

 

Braid my friend, braid.

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.

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.
