dam0007 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I'm just gonna spew off a few names of lines I never really hear anyone talk about. There's so many out there I'm sure there's gotta be a few gems. If you see a line you use please comment on it. Cheers!

Super User new2BC4bass Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 Of those I have Spider Wire Stealth Braid on one reel. Haven't used it enough to form an opinion. I believe that is the brand that one guy posted claiming it was the worst braid ever. But you know what they say about opinions. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 I used spider wire once and I didn't think it was terrible... It was actually pretty alright, still like power pro more. Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I have Spider Wire Stealth Braid on the Black Max I'm sending my sister. It seemed alright, I'm just not used to braid so I didn't really like it. I may try it again or try a different brand. Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Trilene armor coated is pretty good line. Very abraision resistant but not the most cast able line. Not much stretch either. Also, it is a bit larger per lb in diamter compared to some other lines. Quote

It seemed alright, I'm just not used to braid so I didn't really like it. I may try it again or try a different brand. Sufix Performance is a very good braid at a lower cost than many. If you want a braid that is ts very supple, then try Daiwa Samurai. It is usually thinner than other braids of the same strength because it is closer to its actual listing than most. The older Power Pro is very reasonably priced, but quite noisy. It is also quite thin as is the newer braid. 10# 832 is equivalent to 4# mono while the Power Pro is equivalent to 2# mono. Although I have Sufix 832 on one of my spinning reels, it has seen very little use because I prefer baitcast reels. Many say it is another exceptional braid. The new Power Pro is also highly thought of. Sunline has its fans as well. Pretty hard to buy a bad braid. I prefer mono or a copolymer myself, but braid does have its uses. 1 Quote

OntarioFishingGuy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Fireline is great, frays fairly easy, but very sensitive and super thin. Quote

Super User Jar11591 Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 I have used Spider Wire Stealth braid in 20lb test. Casted fine, didn't flatten out. I have no complaints with it. Tried Berkley Trilene braid and it flattened out after not too long, and was hard to cast after that. I'm trying Power Pro right now, and so far no complaints, just like Spider Wire Stealth. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 I got one I use to use. It cast great and has tons of memory. >>>>>> Mustad Thor Quote

Same poundage Spider Wire I had. I can't say much about it though because I only casted it a handful of times. Quote
JGBassinAL Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I used Suffix Castable Fluorocarbon in 12 lb on one of my deep cranking set ups and it was great for about a month (fishing only on weekends) but then it turned a milky white color and started fraying a lot more often. It ranges anywhere from $12-$19 depending on what lb test you have, and it's only for 100 yds. You can get Sunline Sniper for $20-$24 and it is 200 yards and a FAR superior fluorocarbon from my experiences. I have also used vicious. NEVER BUY IT. Broke off like I was setting the hook on a shark. Quote
EmersonFish Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I used 'Viscous Flourocarbon' once. I don't remember what pound test it was. It's been a few years. All I remember is that it was terrible. Thick (compared to other flouros of the same test), high memory, garbage. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 I've used Trilene Armor Coated. It's ok, but has a lot of memory. Quote
CJV Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Gamma edge is probably one of the best fluorocarbon lines on the market next to seagur and Sunline. Quote
Zimobass Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Gamma edge is probably one of the best fluorocarbon lines on the market next to seagur and Sunline. I agree. Really good stuff, especially in the lighter, 10/12 pound range. Very soft, sensitive, and abrasion resistant. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 Izorline is a very nice line you don;t hear too much about. http://www.izorline.com/monofilament.php Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 16, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 16, 2014 DAM Techtan, probably the best light lines I've ever used. I've got th 3.5lb test on my ultralight Mustad Thor and Ultraline. A local camping store sells 1lb spools with up to 11,000 yards of line for $10. It's great line for moving baits. I use Vicious fluoro in 12lb for my finesse jig rod. Any heavier an it has tons of memory but the 12lb seems to do very well and the stuff is super strong and abrasion resistant. Also a big fan of Berkley Nanofil despite all the hate it gets. It's a very technique specific line but the stuff it does well it does way better than any others. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 Stren is also a forgotten brand. Quote
The Fisher Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Silver thread AN 40 is a great copolymer. I have it on one of my spinning reels and it casts a mile with no line twists. Very abrasion resistant. I use it for shaky heads near trees and on rocks. Here is their website http://www.silverthread.com/AN40.htm Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I've heard some great things about Ohero line too. Quote
mod479 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Sufix pro-mix copolymer. Great handling, cheap, strong, avg abrasion resistance. Comparable to Izorline XXX. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 Triple fish is good at 3.99 for 440 yrds had no problems with it .its all i buy and use besides yo zuri and big game Quote
