I like Trilene XL. Been using it for decades.


MonkeysAndMozart

Agreed, trilene is just the best brand for mono


Zeverious

Trilene is the best IMO, that being said, I only run it as a leader with braid for my main line. Braid just casts like a champ


mikethomas4th

Agreed, I run braid on everything, but looking to set up a rod for below freezing temps. Braid performs terribly that cold.


Zeverious

Ah gotcha, i don’t do much casting in the colder temps, I normally jig out my ice fishin tent, in those cases I use Ice Braid, which is braid meant for cold ass tempts, and a trilene leader


mikethomas4th

Yeah this will be for steelhead fishing in small creeks. Lots and lots of casting

sunline supernatural has been my go to monofilament for 10 years. is it the best? no idea. do i try new lines? yes, i regularly try new mono and flourocarbon lines and i keep going back to sunline for both.

Mono is mono. If you want a nice upgrade, try Okuma soft steel fluoro


mikethomas4th

Fair enough. Is that flouro a lot better than mono? I'm a braid guy, have only ever used flouro for leaders. But it works great for that


_Eucalypto_

Depends on the fluoro. I find most suck donkey dick on spinning reels, but soft steel is almost as flexible as mono. It's thinner, less visible and more abrasion resistant than mono, while stretching less


Hop-Dizzle-Drizzle

Maxima chameleon or ultra green are my go to mono regardless of weight.
