Best Monofilament For Baitcaster

[Fuese54]

I need to find a good inexpensive line to use for my Revo SX. I tried 20 pound sufix siege but it would not sit right on the spool and I had trouble casting. I don't want to use braid or fluorocarbon, but I need to find a strong low memory mono to use.

I stand by 12 pound Berkley Big Game.

Looking for monofilament or copolymer line, what are your suggestions? I mostly use topwater, Texas rigs, and spinnerbaits

[FishTank]

Trilene XL 12lb has worked great for me.

[Avalonjohn44]

Cajun Red 12 or 14lb. Cheap, strong. And red.

Heaviest mono I use is 17#.  Larger the diameter, the more problem with coiling.  I've got 8# and 12# Siege on several reels.  Love it.  I also have Cajun Red Cast on 3 reels.  Never a problem with it either.  Super Natural is working well on the one reel I have it on.  I used Trilene XL for all of my youth.  Only changed because I wanted to try other lines.  Works very well on spinning reels so you know it will work very well on a baitcast reel as well.  I am trying AN40 on some reels now (in 8# & 12#) as a friend told me he used it for years and it is an excellent handling line.  I like Big Game, but for me it has a tendency to coil for the first few casts after sitting awhile.  I tried P-line CX, and liked it, but it broke down in the spool.  Probably because it was my first baitcast reel and got kinked from backlashes.

1. mccoy mean green or yo zuri hybrid - amazing abrasion resistance

2. suffix elite

[new2BC4bass]

I have to say from the reading I've done that any line that is highly abrasive resistant is going to be a harder line.  Look at the fluorocarbon line tests TT did as an example.  Not saying that will be true 100% of the time, but bet it is close.  Izorline Platinum and P-line CXX are both highly abrasive resistant and more prone to coil than most lines.

 

EDIT:  I put 14# Izorline Platinum on my daughter's reel because she fishes Senkos almost exclusively the little she gets out.  She complained of backlashes.  I re-spooled with 12# Siege and haven't heard a word from her since.

10 or 12 lb Siege. It runs a little thick diameter-wise, so that would explain your issues with the 20 lb. At $7-8 for 300 yards, the price is right.

I feel for you man... lol I used to have 17 pound camo siege and it was a mess. Big game is probably the most inexpensive line that people will recommend to you.

Pline CX it's a bit softer line than CXX, it's very strong, comes in clear/blue fluorescent. It's good line. If line is not winding properly, it's the angle at which your holding the reel vs either your bait, or

when spooling on the line in the first place. Get a proper line winding tool... It will last years & years.

 Right now I have Trilene 14 pound XT on my one baitcaster and so far I really like it.  I don't use my baitcaster much but since putting it on Iv'e only had a few small backlashes and one big one that was my fault, but even then the line did not kink up when I was trying to fix it.  That Trilene XT is sort of becoming my favorite for baitcaster use.

I have Berkley Iron Silk mono on one of my baitcasters and I absolutely love it. Awesome line..

[WIGuide]

12# Berkley XT will treat you well. 

[Catt]

15# Big Game

[FryDog62]

Here has been my evolution after experimenting with several lines on my bait casting rods:

 

1) First line was Trilene 100% fluorocarbon.  I found the line stretched too much - on long casts it was like setting the hook with a rubber band and I would miss too many hook-ups.  Also, its fluorocarbon and I grew tired of rats nests.

 

2) I switched to Berkley XL.  Much easier to handle and less stretch than Trilene fluorocarbon.  However, not very abrasion resistant. 

 

3) The line I settled on was Yo-Zuri Hybrid.  Stretches less than either of the above, and doesn't absorb water and become stretchier over time.  Also very abrasion resistant, and little to no rats nests.  

 

A close second for me was Trilene XT but it is a little thicker in diameter than YH.

I'm still using Triline XL green for my mono apps, and have never felt the need to try another brand

I recently spooled my cheapest reel an old BP extreme with 8# cajun red line and it casts a d**n mile. I have caught 6 four pounders this year on this setup with a lipless and it has not failed me yet. The line is extremely cheap, but effective. I don't know what kind of fishing you plan to do with your reel so 8# might be too light. I would not go over 12 or 14 though when using monofilament I want my rod and reel to cast a mile its crucial to my success with different crankbaits in my opinion.

Berkley Big Game Green 12lb is a good inexpensive line.  Especially while still fairly new.

 

At $9 bucks for 1175yd - you can change it out often.  Best bet right there money wise.

I saw all of the recommendations in other posts for big game and tried it. It works great and is really cheap. I use #15 but I'll try 12# next.

[Silas]

Bulk rolls of YOZURI HYBRID. In 10 or 12.

I actually try out my new finesse reels with 6 pound to get used to casting them. I leave it permanently on my Curado 50 E.

That way I can re spool often.

[Mr_Frodo]

Nothing fancy here. I just use Stren original and have never had a problem . I use the low visibility green. works for me
