im a fan of the Bass Pro brand of mono myself. its inexpensive, you can buy it in bulk, i think its $8-$9 for over a thousand yards and the stuff is TOUGH! you get snagged if hard to snap your line to re-tie. I think it has great knot stregth too!
My only complaint i guess that i have with it, is it doesnt seem to have a very long reel life. With trilene or another major brand, you can have it on a reel unused for a few weeks, take a cast and its smooth as silk. But the BPS line has memory/coiling issues if its not being used reguarly. Its still strong as nails and smooths back out after its stretched, but that first cast or 2. Other than that, im a huge fan of it.
I personally to date, dont fish any waters that warrant the use/expense of flourocarbon line for its invisible under the water properties. maybe that will change if i fished clearer water though.
Anybody remember when Rapala had thier own line? Man that stuff was awesome, you could wench up the titanic with that stuff!
yeah new line can be a crap shoot for sure!
