Any suggestions for low memory mono?

[David 7]

Have always fished with straight mono, always have and always will. It’s tried and true in my book. Looking to pick up a spool today. Any suggestions on which one is best for low memory?

I'm sold on Suffix Advance.

Have seen this, never tried it. The packaging does boast several features including low memory and longer casting (just looked it up). May have to try this!

Trilene XL.

I’m going to jump on the trilene xl wagon. Last night I was fishing from the bank and got stuck in a bush. Pert near blew an o-ring trying to break off. Coupled with the limpness and low memory it’s just an awesome product.

Cheap end .... Trilene XL and Suffix Elite.  On the premium end.... Sunlune Defier is great line but not as soft as other mono.  It does last longer and retains it's shape better.  It's like FC that floats.  I use it for crankbaits.

It's really good line, but can be expensive for mono.  @WRB swears by it as well.  I've been running it for a couple of decades.

Sunline Super Natural or Stren Magnathin

Whatever you spool up with, use KVD Line & Lure.

I'm running Sufix Advance and I'm really liking it.

 

As Mr Franco said - no matter which you pick, get and use KVD.

Decided on Sufix Elite, will let you all know how it fares. Was gonna go with Sufix Advance but Dick’s didn’t have it in 12lb which is what I fish with. Thanks everyone for the feedback and keep the convo going!  Appreciate all of your responses and perspectives.

That was my 'go to' mono before testing Advance - now I use the remainder of the 6# & 8# Elite I have left as backing on my spinning reels

McCoy's has the least amount of memory I have seen. It's fantastic line.

Never as a mainline though. Only as a leader.

[Scott804]

Sunline Shooter / Defier with KVD L&L is what I run and it is great. 

[T-Billy]

Trilene XT works for me. Almost as good as Suffix Advance IMO for a lot less $$$.

I'll second this, I've tried a bunch of different lines from high end JDM to the lower cost lines and always come back to McCoy. Brian.

Sufix Advance

Memory is just a given with mono and I too am sold on mono and luckily I could care less about memory. 
 

my personal experience shows that monos that seem to acquire it the slowest are:

 

#1 Sufix - Elite and Siege. I’ve have not tried the other sufix lines

#2  Trilene XL

 

All the others like stren, which I also like in fluorescent blue is okay memory wise and an excellent line for my spinnerbaits. 
 

I also noticed memory is also further delayed to some degree the larger the spool. But memory is always a given that I hope someday would trickle to my brain to keep a sharp mind, lol.

Update:

Went to a nearby pond this afternoon. Fished with the new spool of Sufix Elite and am very pleased with it. After wetting the spool the memory was not an issue at all, it casts smoothly, and was a pleasure to tie a knot with. It is very light and even soft to the touch. Was surprised by that. 

 

I can’t imagine a mono line being much better than this, which really makes me excited for Sufix Advance. I will have to try that next season.

I have used Sufix Elite for a few years now, it's super strong and handles very well. You'll like it.

 

I'm not sure that Advance is really any better to be completely honest.

I have 12# Elite on one of my favorite reels.  Has been a good line for me.  I am also trying Izorline XXX and McCoy Mean Green.  Sunline Super Natural is another good line with low memory.  I grew up using XL.  No problems with it.  I just wanted to try other lines.

McCoy’s is the real deal. I started using it several years ago and fantastic
