What one should I get suffix siege, pline cx, or berkley big game 2025
Some tissues reply :
Which of these would you recommend. I will be using it for mostly chatterbaits and squarebills but I will occasionally use a spook or small hard swimbait
lmbfisherman reply :
Didn't we just have a thread about this? 
My vote is for Big Game. I have used all three and Big Game is still the best bang for the buck.

Maybe I didn't find one that really helped me cuz I want to know which of these lines would best be suited for the lures I'm using and rod which i forgot to mention is a mh mf 7ft rod
Brayberry reply :
P line or Suffix by a mile IMO

Casting reel?
SFL BassHunter reply :
I've had terrible luck with suffix siege. It breaks really easy. I would use Big Game before using Siege.
I've never used Pline. So can't say anything about it. Though it is a copoly line, so it probably will sink. I don't particularly like a copoly for a spook.

Yes casting 631 gear ratio I like burning my cranks and traps in works well for me

My experience was opposite. I may have just gotten a bad spool or maybe a spool someone dropped over and over again or messed with (dang teenagers). I got my big game spool at Wally World real cheap. Now I just use it as backing.
I've used suffix siege and suffix elite I've only used them on my panfish setups tho I've not bass fished with them.
The only mono I've bass fished with was Trilene my grandpa and all the old heads around here that's all they've ever used and swear by it so that's what I grew up fishing with
craww reply :
Siege in 17lb is my square bill line of choice. Handles exceptionally well for its strength and diameter. I cant break it on a straight pull from a boat... Just a nice, problem free line that excels with treble hooked baits..Used it in 12lb and it handled well, but seemed to not be as strong as comparable lines.

I've used all 3 on baitcast reels. 12# CX is what went on my first reel. Line broke down in the spool, but I've come to realize that was more than likely because of the backlashes I had while learning. Need to try it again. I have a fair amount of both Siege and Big Game in 8# and 12#. What I've found is that both coil after sitting awhile. Siege looks like a slinky, but doesn't leave loops on the spool for those first few casts. Bag Game usually does. However, once wet I have no problems with either. Nor have i had Siege breaking like Basshunter experienced. I like Siege Neon Tangerine because it makes it so much easier for me to see the line.
Some tissues reply :
Ok so also my rod is half glass so it's not supper sensitive I have fluorocarbon on it and I can feel my chatterbaits vibrating in my hand when retrieving but since I want to try new stuff like some top-waters spook, prop bait, maybe a pompadour jr I would need mono but I did like the fluorocarbon

Among the 4 lures you mentioned, 3 of them wield treble hooks, so shock absorption is important.
Though it may fly in the face of conventional wisdom, all 3 monofilament line materials streeeetch:
Nylon, Fluorocarbon & Copolymer. The 3 line brands you mentioned are all top-flight lines.
=> Berkley Big Game fills the bill nicely, it's abrasion-resistant, has good knot strength and it stretches.
=> Sufix Siege came 'after' Berkley Big Game but also fills the bill for all the same reasons.
=> P-line CX on the other hand is a hybrid line, but another excellent choice.
P-line CX has a nylon core (copolymer comprised of 2 types of nylon) with a fluoro/silicone sheath.
IMO you did your homework, because none of the above 3 lines should disappoint.

Thanks for the good response. Do u think that the copoly being copoly will sink to fast and not be so good for some top waters it's the only type of line I haven't used before so I've never seen it on the water .It doesn't have to be ideal cuz the topwaters are not something I'm going to use regularly just has to be viable for them. Thanks

The term "copolymer" is tricky, because it can refer to a combination of nylon and fluorocarbon,
because they're both polymers. But 'copolymer' normally refers to a blend of nylon genres.
The copolymer core in P-line CX is blended nylon and therefore has the buoyancy of nylon.
Though the jacket is fluorocarbon, IMO it's too thin to have an appreciable effect on buoyancy.
I wouldn't hesitate to use any of the 3 lines you choose for topwater work.

Great do u think that since it has a flourocarbon coat that it will transfer a tad bit more sensitivity or it probably won't have much effect.

I don't know the answer to that question, but the vast majority of the line is nylon.
I believe the main benefit of the fluoro sheath is to enhance abrasion-resistance.
EvanT123 reply :
I've use all of those for both mainline and leader. Its a toss up to me however I did not like the pline as a mainline.

Ok the reason I brought it up is cuz I had used a temporary mono line which was a $5 1000 yes spoil of stren at Walmart and the sensitivity was half of whait it is now with the stern Fluoro I currently am using is this just cuz it's low line quality?

Really why did it coil a lot

Well I misspoke it wasn't the pline cx it was pline c21. C21 is a copolymer and for some reason I found it very stretchy and hard to break off. I have been using it for two years as leader material and found it to be great; I've had this spool for 3 years and for the $4 it cost me has been a heck of a deal.

Ahh the c21 I do know my friend buys it for leader material and shares it with me when we fish the fox river
the cx though I think is much high quality cuz it's double the price but never used that's why I'm asking here. cuz I'm trying to figure best line to cover the most techniques
i got three rods only To cover bass fishing so I'm trying to make the most out of them and cover as much techniques as possible

Agree 100%
Of the 3 Big Game in my experience has the highest abrasion resistance & shock absorption.
Some tissues reply :
So it seems I have to choose between pline cx and big game
bowhunter63 reply :
Been using Big Game for a long long time.Never let me down.
Some tissues reply :
Actually after doing more research I might get pline cxx in 12 pld. Only ine question does it coil like crazy.
tholmes reply :
Big Game. It's 1/4 the price of Suffix Siege, and 1/2 the price of P-Line and every bit as good (or better) than either one, IMHO.

Stren or trilene
