Any comments on your favorite brand of mono?

I've had good luck with Sufix mono.  I don't really use regular mono anymore but Sufix Elite is what I would buy if I were going to.

Not technically a mono, it's a copoly, but all I use is P-Line CXX. Any reel that doesn't have braid has this line, I keep my gear simple this way. I use it from 10# all the way to 25#, depends on the technique. Great line!

didn't use mono for ten years and decided to try it again on a crankbait rod.  Got a couple spools of seaguar  senshi and love it, handles great. Like all monos the sensitivity sucks compared to braid and floro but for a reaction lure the Senshi is great.

Berkley Big Game - reasonably priced and does the job.

I use a lot of Berkley line but whenever I find a buy on a one pound spool, I generally grab it. That's how I first tried Big Game And Gamma.

Sufix Siege and P-Line CX (though it's actually a co-poly)

I use Berkley Big Game for backing - hard to argue with 1000 yards for under $10

My partner Robert got me turned onto McCoy Mean Green and I just love this stuff. Almost zero memory, best line I have ever used as far as memory goes. It lays down on the spool perfectly. Casts great. Strong. Cheap. I use this on my spook, crankbait rods and I can't imagine ever going to something else.

Like most monos, the sensitivity is not great but for spooks/cranks you don't need it.

Bass Pro Excel Green. I know its cheap but I have no complaints, been using it for years. Not sure if it's technically mono, but P Line C-21 is pretty good line, just started using that recently.

Thanks guys for the responses. I think I'll give that Sufix stuff a shot. :)

i'm not too picky on mono. i really only use it for topwater and ul stream trout fishing. trilene xl hasn't done me wrong yet.

I'm a long time user of Trilene XT. I like XL on my UL rigs.

Whatever is on sale! I stay cheap with mono but fluoro I get some of the most expensive stuff available!

yes it is a mono.mono means single filament or line.it can be made of two or more polymers.

I'm not a big mono user but I've been trying out Trilene XT armor coated and I really like it. I use it on my topwater/jerkbait rod and so far it's performed very well. I'm using 8lb but I'd like to try the 10 or 12 out.

Either way I'm just going by the manufacturers labeling, copolymer.

I use to love mono when I was a beginner fisherman.  It was cheap and will do the job.  P-Line Flour coated is my choice.

 

Now that I'm a better fisherman, I figure that Braid, or Braid with Flour-Carb leader is the way to go.  

 

Why do I use Braid?  Why not!  It's stronger with less diameter.  It cast farther and it doesn't have memory.  People say, "Wind knot is a killer."   If you learn to close your bail correctly, you'll never get one.   People also say, "What about clear water, the bass will see it."  Then learn to tie a flour-carb leader.

 

Braid is just better!
