mono line

[jomatty]

i was just curious how much mono line you guys are using these days.  i have almost completely stopped using it and am not sure if it is good or not.  the last hold out was my cranking rod but even that is now spooled with floro.  

im wondering how many of you guys are using mono with jigs as well.  i use either braid or a hybrid type line but when i read of guys like denny brauer using mono it makes me wonder.  

so what are you guys using mono for and what do you like better about it compared to some of the hybrids, floros, and braids.

I have one rod that has braid the other 20 have mono. I have one flipping stick with braid and two with mono.

Trilene XL is still the best handling line out there. It's all I use on spinning reels. I don't care how many ball-bearing, twist-busting, dingle-scheafers your spinning reel has, it still twists your line. XL will recover from twist the best and cast the easiest.

On my baitcasters I use mostly flouro, but XL still gets the nod for topwaters, spinnerbaits and shallow cranks. For me, flouro sinks a bit too much for these applications. For all plastics and jigs, medium to deep cranks, jerkbaits and for deep spinnerbaiting, I like flouro better.

This is what works for me. Your results may vary.

Good luck,

Haven't touched a spool of mono in years (ever since Bagley began importing SilverThread co-polymer).  Currently have two reels spooled with braid...all the rest have one version or the other of SilverThread, from 10-17lb.

I dont use anything but mono.  Mostly Sufix Elite or Tritanium.  I try and try to like braid, but cant find a thing to like about it.

I use Sunline Defier on BC

Yo-zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft on all spinning Reels

I still use mono, Berkley and Stren. I'm used to how these brands perform for different techniques and I feel that's the most important thing. I truly believe that other lines have advantages that make them better suited for certain applications but it's all in what you get used to.

Which brand of spinning reels has integrated dingle-Scheafers as part of their design ? ;D

I liked Sufix siege, but wish I could buy it in bulk spools. I think I am going back to Ande Back country saltwater flats line. It worked rather well in freshwater for me. Ivan

like jdw174,

i basically use silver thread exclusively.  i just cant find a mono that i like since using silver thread...

I'm using braid for just about everything.  when I switch away from it for any reason I start losing fish.  I will use a mono leader for shock purposes and concealment, but power pro is pretty much my go to line.

I'm using a lot of mono line these days,

as backing for all my braided line :

Well, at least I still have a use for it.

Mono

Baitcaster--- Big Game, Dura Tuf,

Spinning--- Silve Thread or Super Silver Thread.

I don't use mono, but use line a lot like it. I use Triple-Fish camo perlon. Perlon is like mono, but it restores itself after being streched. I use 20# perlon for jigs. The only thing I use fluro for is on my spinning reel, and sometimes for senko's and finesse jigs.

co-polymer lines are mono lines.they are just made with 2 different plastics.mono means single filament nylon line.

I only use mono. Big game for baitcasting and trilene for xlfor spinning. I was using power pro for a while but i just like fishing with mono better dont really know why tho.

[Papa_Tom]

PowerPro on one rig for swimming jigs.  Big Game on the other baitcasters, some other mono on lighter tackle reels.

[FishTank]

I've been using PLine Flouroclear.  I think it is a coated mono.  It has been an excelent line for me.
