BEST MONO LINE 2024

island bassin reply :

I have been looking for a good mono line which can perform well for all presentations? It can be a coated mono as well.

Thanks

BucketmouthAngler13 reply :

Trilene XL has never failed me. Its priced good and is strong, and its the only line i use.

Berkley Big Game

Raul reply :

"The BEST" is a highly subjective appreciation, what performs well for you may not perform well for me.

Lines that I 've tried:

Stren Original.- Good line until you find a sharp rocky place, it abrades easily

Trilene XL.- for year I used it, better resistant to abrassion than SO

Trilene XT.- resists well the abrassion but once you get above 12 lb test it 's like fishing with wire

Big Game.- Same as XT

Magnathin.- great line but the thin diameter makes it nick easily and stretches a lot.

Rapala Finesse.- Like XL

Rapala Tough.- "tough" is not there just because, it really tolerates well abrassion and it has low diameter even in the higher tests without being to wiry

Magnum 7/20 & 14/40.- the best thing was that it was discontinued from the market long ago.

The one I feel most comfortable with is Trilene Big Game.

Michael H reply :

For baitcasting i only use big game and from my spinning i use trilene xl.

Hawgin reply :

I have had great success with Suffix Siege and Elite.

I will never use Big Game again, unless I'm bored and want to play "slinky".

castaway reply :

Sufix Siege, Or Mustad Thor worked well for me .I would like to buy bulk spools since I have so many different setups. Going back to Ande Back country line. The only reason I left it was because its not available in my area, Its a saltwater flats line.It handles very well and is strong, great priced. If you want to try a Japanese line, give Jinkai a try, very nice line, but a bit pricey. Ivan

Greg Harris reply :

I've searched for the best, and about a year ago found it. I absolutley love Triple-Fish Camo-Escent Perlon. Perlon is basically mono, but restores itself after being streched. So far this year, I've caught over 400 fish using this line, and have only had one break off using this line.

Rattlinrogue reply :

Trilene XL is about the best overall mono IMO.I also use XT and Big Game.Caught a lot of big fish on the Big Game with no break offs.

Bud reply :

Try some Sunline. It is a bit high but good line.

Papa_Tom reply :

Baitcasters, 10 lb test and above....Big Game. Almost always the green.

Spinning....eight lb test and less, I'm all over the map. Wish Big Game came in lower pound tests.

I know it can display some memory, especially when cold, but overall it has been very efficient for me. I can't remember a break off with it. My $.02

Big T reply :

I have tired Stren, Berkley XL, Berkely Trilene Big Game , Silver Thread, Ande, Momoi and Calcutta Saltwater line. As other have said it is what you are comfortable with. For me, that line would have to be Ande and Ande Back Country, I have never had a fish break this line. I once had a Red Drum break Momoi Line which is supposed to be a saltwater offshore line. The others with the exception of maybe Big Game, I just did not like.

justfishin reply :

Baitcasters---Big Game or Dura Tuf, all in #10-#20

Spinning---Silver Thread or Super Silver Thread, Excel, all in #8

guest reply :

- P-Line Fluoroclear, the best mono, in my opinion.

- Ande Back country, very good line at very low cost.

Lucky Craft Man reply :

I like the Red Cajun line. Never had a problem with it.

fourbizz reply :

I am COMPLETELY sold on P-Line. As much as I would like to not be a total fan boy for a company, they have a line for everything I do, and I haven't been able to find better performance.

CXX- Their extra strong. Great abrasion resistance. My swimbait line.

CX Premium- Flouro coated coplolymer. Very very small diameter line. handles well.

I just started using their evolution line and I am liking it alot. I am using it in 8lb for my finesse situations and I don't have a single complaint yet.

The only line of theirs I do not care for is the Floroclear. Its abrasion resistance is similar to whipped cream.

Hi island bassin,

Accidentally hit the "post" before writing the reply!

Anyway, excellent choice! Before switching to braid for my spinning equipment early this year, I was using solely Trilene XL for four years and was very very happy with it. Very soft, easy casting, manageable stretch, and quite good abrasion resistance. It never failed me, even when using it in the thick shoreline bushes of Asprokremmos.

Best of all, it is available here at very reasonable prices. The importer is H&A Strovolos, but I am pretty sure it is available in some of the shops near you (I think I've seen it at "Green and Blue" behind Orfanides)...

justfishin reply :

Baitcaster--- Big Game

Spinning---Super Silver Thread

Good all around line for both that is cheap to buy for the amount and I still put on my client rods ( spinning #8) BPS Excel in low vis green.

hi_steel_basser reply :

I couldn't find the quote button, So I'll just say that all of my deep water worm and jig fishin is done with P-line flouroclear and let you figger it out. For topwaters and spinnerbaits, I like Trilene Sensation. (Awesome line, abrasion res., castable, fairly low stretch) I'm supprised I'm the first to mention it here. When I'm flippin and pitchin, I use big game, p-line cxx, or p-line braid(can't remember the name, and I ain't about to go out and find it just to put the name in a post). The monos go into wood, and the braid goes into weeds. Crankin rods get a pure flouro, p-line or vanish.

ga_hawghauler reply :

i like the berkley trilene xl and the big game

Munkin reply :

Big Game is cheap and just as good as any other mono I have tried. One thing I have found is that Big Game is underrated so try using the next lighter size? Trilene XL casts the best but also stretches more than other monos.

Pa Angler reply :

McCoy's Co-Poly Flo-Blue low stretch and low memory.

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :

Berkley Big Game

chs773 reply :

i really like suffix siege

Sinjin Kim reply :

Sufix Elite 6-10#

'Cuda 4#

Izorline XXX for 12# and above.

Piscatorian reply :

Ditto the McCoy, but I like the green. Casts like a dream, great knot strenght, and much more tough than it looks. Also like the Izorline XXX. Big game is terrible, except maybe for flipping or trolling.

guest reply :

How could this thread possibly have gotten this far without RW singing the praises of Yo-zuri ultra soft.

Will wonders never cease.

dodgeguy reply :

imho cajun red cast is the best mono made.that said i think there are lot's of good mono lines made and the difference is more a matter of opinion than fact.i could suggest lot's of lines to others with no regret.

The_Natural reply :

There is no short answer for the line that is going to work well for you; it all depends on what you want in a line. I don't think there is any other way other than just trying several lines until you find one that has the properties you desire. For me, Pline CXX serves all my mono/copolymer needs. For fluorocarbon, I've used and like several, but will probably stick with Vanish due to performance and value.

jayhawkfishin reply :

There are very few bad lines on occasion you will purchase a bad spools from a good brand. Most companies that are out today and can stay on the market are good lines. Look at the range of answers you are getting. It is almost all personal preference. I don't like cajun line because its red. I don't like some brands because they don't have a clear blue, that doesn't make them a bad line it just makes it not what i am looking for.

I like:

Trilene clear blue

Gama

Suffix
