Cooter Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Feel free to include specifics such as spinning vs casting and presentations, but what are you guys buying for general 4-8lb mono? I have been a sufix and stren voter the past few years, looking for other good options. Most of my mono fishing is on slip bobber rigs, otherwise usually chucking braid for muskies.

Musky hunter 82 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Bass Pro Excel (you can get their 1500 yard spools right now for $7.49) also you buy 2 you get one free and free shipping after $25 order. I use it on all of my spinning rods now after a guide I fished with last year told me that after years of using Trilene, he switched a couple years ago and has great luck with it.

tacklejunkie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I second the Trilene XL. The only situation I will use braid is dipsey trolling on Lake Superior. Otherwise, Trilene XL on everything else for inland lake fishing eyeguy 54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Thumb Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yo-Zuri Hybrid. It's technically a co-polymer line, but it's a terrific, tough, low-stretch substitute for monofilament. It's also very affordable. The thing you want to consider with Hybrid is that its actually breaking strength is about 1.5x the listed strength. For example, the 12# breaks at about 20 pounds of pull. The most useful line for a spinning rig would be 4-6#, with 6# being very useful. For baitcasting setups, try the 10-12# lines. 12# is on most of my rods with moving baits. Give this stuff a shot. It may very well become your new favorite line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 It's funny, I have never had good luck with Trilene. I use stren when I use mono. Mostly braid. Summer for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Trilene XL 4lb ultralight 8lb walleye rigging All spinning, 12lb is the lowest I go on casting reels. And then it's gonna be XT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
