frosty Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 If it's got to be mono, I'll vote for stren. It always seemed to do better on spinning reels than other brands. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 9, 2017 Super User Posted January 9, 2017 17 lb test trilene xl is only .015 inches . That is thin .Diameter is more important than published lb test . 4 Quote

I have a Mh fast should I go with the 17 or 14? I used to have 17 pound spider wire and the line sucked. I feel like the 14 will not be enough but the 17 to much Quote

I use a 12# mono or co-polymer on the majority of my MH rods. Have you ever tried to break 12# mono by hand? Maybe you should consider 40# braid. EDIT: Lots of good lines besides those already mentioned. I like Siege, AN40, Excalibur, Big Game, Super Natural to name a few. If you need tough, try some 15# CXX or Platinum. Be sure to use a line conditioner as these two will have more memory than most lines. 1 Quote

Do you think the 14 would be good enough for fishing wood and Lilly pads Quote
Blackhawk83 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 If I am fishing mono you can bet it's trilene XL 2 Quote

Jagg Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I love Trilene XL for mono for my spinning gear. I love P-Line CX and CXX for copoly. 1 Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 9, 2017 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 9, 2017 I'm looking forward to trying the new "Rippin" mono from Seaguar. I understand it has low memory, and low stretch. Sounds like a great line! 2 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 9, 2017 Super User Posted January 9, 2017 I will dfinitely be trying the new Seaguar Rippin, but right now I am fishing Sunline Shooter Defier Armilo. http://www.sunlineamerica.com/shooter-defier-armilo/ 1 Quote

Do you think the 14 would be good enough for fishing wood and Lilly pads If you are using it for all of these I would strongly recommend going to 40lb braid and tying a leader for certain things however if I had to only throw mono I would have to go with big game as well. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 9, 2017 Global Moderator Posted January 9, 2017 Seaguar Senshi has been good for me but I use a lot of Big Game because it's cheap, easy to find, and comes in bulk spools. Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted January 9, 2017 Super User Posted January 9, 2017 Big Game, Big Game and more Big Game. It's so cheap you can change it every few months and still cheaper and (in my opinion) stronger than the other 2 comparable brands. 1 Quote

I have an old bulk spool of 15-lb Trilene Big Game that's roughly 40 years old! Despite its age, it's a major chore to break that line in your bare hands (incredible stuff) Roger 1 Quote

Also use this line for multi species fishing and it had helped me land sharks that weighed several hundreds of pounds each. 2 Quote

The fish took some drag and went under the kayak and pinned me against a dock. The bass was jumping under the dock on the other side of my kayak and I was fighting it with the rod stuck in the water. I had to put my thumb on the spool and yank the fish back out. It was about 5.5 lbs. That's my best testimonial, but I've caught maybe 10 fish the last 4 years over 5 lbs, a few 6, on it with no break offs. 2 Quote
