Best Mono on Market?

I have used Berkley Big Game since the 80 s and have never had a problem.I fish alot of nasty rocky places and it has always held up really well.

hey Tom , i think your '' submit '' key is stuck ....   

Hes OK just stutters a little.  

 

In mostly open water or light vegetation I use 12lb Big Game. I use it on T rigged plastics, deep and shallow crankbaits, some smaller 3 1/2" - 4" jointed swimbaits, and even up to 1/2 oz spinnerbaits and have yet to have a issue I could blame as the lines fault. I also use 15 lb Big Game and have great results as well.

 

I believe having the right rod for the right line and presentation along with a properly tied knot can make a big difference in what someone believes to be true about any given line. That doesn't even take into account how long, where, or under what conditions the line was stored before it was purchased much less after it was in the owner's hands.

 

One thing that to me I found to be critical is making sure to wet the knot before ever pulling it down. If you watch very close I have found I can see if the line was stressed as it was cinched most always. If It looks like it didn't make a nice knot I cut it and retie.  But I am not one of those who thinks I need to tie again after every 2-3 fish.

Any Berkley mono, suffix siege  and elite have never given me any problems. I've caught 30"+ snook on #14 suffix siege

Most of my reels are spooled with Big Game, got a couple spooled with XT just because the thinest Big Game available is 10 lbs, so for 6-8 lbs I use XT.

 

Big Game comes in 8lbs as well. I have a couple of the 1700yd spools in clear and green.

 

Another vote here for Big Game on a baitcaster. My experience with it on a spinning reel is not good so I will opt for stren for that.

I don't know what the "best mono on the market" is. All I know is Big Game does everything I need it to at a more-than-reasonable cost.

For topwater and the like, I use 10# P-Line CXX.  It's a very strong copolymer blend.  It's a little less limp than most standard nylon mono, but KVD L&L takes care of that.  If I were choose a favorite nylon, I'd pick Suffix Siege, and probably step up to 14# topwater.  Siege served me well before I found CXX.
