Thread: Favorite brands of line

Just wondering what everyone's favorite brand of line is, I've tried a couple different brands of braid but haven't became too fond of any particular brand so far. When it comes to mono the only line I've found that doesn't have terrible line memory is P-line and Trilene. What are yalls experiences?

All I use is 20lbs p-line , catch every thing on it including sharks

Saw a video of a guy on youtube using P-Line and thought I would give it a try. I am still looking for my nitch there too. I will say for braid that I like the PowerPro though.

I mostly use Trilene Big Game 15# Hi-Vis Green on King rigs. 8# to 10# Trilene clear on smaller rigs.
Not a fan of braid, especially on the pier.

I Also favor the Trilene Big Game, Hi Vis green...but since it's usually 6months between trips, it's bad for loop memory. I have to re-spool before every trip.
Ergo, 6 reels full of braid - 8 strand, don't care who's name is on it. Yellow and hi-Vis blu

You may think I'm crazy but for over 40 yrs I have used Bass Pro Shop Excel mono of all pound test $9.99 for 1200-1500 yds Caught everything from 30-35 lb Stripped Bass and Red Fish to 100 lb sharks Many many spanish mackerel blue fish etc as well as Tournament winning Largemouth Bass Best all purpose mono I've every used Strong Durable Easy Casting and lasts a long time

There's good reason for that Dan.
Bass Pro Excel mono is made by Berkley (as in Trilene XL).
Couple that with Bass Pro Line Conditioner (aka Blakemore Reel Magic) and the line should stay more supple for even two years!

Not a braid user. Mono, I use Sufix Tritanium, Gold or Red.

Exactly what I was getting ready to write.

I've mostly used Trilene Big Game and XL for years. I had my reels spooled at J&M a few times the last couple of years and they do a great job. I have to admit I have less problems when they do it. I think the line I've had put on there is Momoi(?). It's a very good strong, low memory line and it's not super expensive.
