Your Favorite Nylon Mono?

[N.Y. Yankee]

6-10, 12-20 pound test, What is your favorite nylon mono line and why?

[bowhunter63]

8 lb for spinning 12 to 15 for bait caster. Big Game cause it works for me and has since it came out. Changed a few times but always go back 

[Mobasser]

I use Big Game for bait casting. Spinning reels been using P Line CX.

[Tackleholic]

6# Tatsu is a great performer, however, it is very limp and hard to see, making it difficult to tie knots with.

[Alex from GA]

Basspro Excel.  Limp, not too thick and inexpensive.

[Catt]

Berkley Big Game 

Abrasion resistance & shock absorption

[Aaron_H]

I'll give up my Berkley Big Game when you can pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

[OkobojiEagle]

Trilene Sensation

[Peacedivision]

Trilene XL red box. Cheap, effective, available everywhere.

[Hulkster]

I use Sufix Siege and Elite. they are both amazing. both are limp strong as hell with a palomar knot and cast smooth on either spinning or baitcasting gear 

[new2BC4bass]

8# and 12# Sufix Neon Tangerine.  See above comment.  Easy to see.

[LrgmouthShad]

Big game

Sunline supernatural for me. Great knots, consistent diameter, low memory. I use 6 lb on a spinning rod, 10&12 for my crankbait/lighter casting rod, 14 and 16 on my medium and medium heavy rods. I considered some 20# but for what I use line that heavy for I want more abrasion resistance.

Same here.

 

The only area I find this line to be lacking is abrasion resistance, but it's managability and overall ease is fantastic.   The price is outstanding as well considering you get Sunline's QC assurances.   

 

I really only use the green 14lb, but it's perfect for cranking with.  

[Rockhopper]

Maxima Ultra Green.  Its a nylon copolymer, but thats my favorite.

That's a Flourocarbon line, not a Nylon....

 

For me, it's Sufix Siege all the time....

[GRiver]

Berkeley Big Game, it is good line and inexpensive. I also use  Bass pro excell when I don’t need a big spool it’s inexpensive as well and it acts like Big Game.

[FryDog62]

I’m a Trilene XT or Big Game fan for the little that I use mono. 

[T-Billy]

XT if I'm running mono. Low stretch, abrasion resistant, strong, handles well, affordable. Co poly? YZH. All the attributes of XT with a bit better feel.

[GreenPig]

Stren Original 14lb clear, only on a BC.

I got off track;  Trilene XT, Trilene XL, Big Game, and Maxima Ultragreen are all on my shelf.

All the same logic for me.  I started with 14 clear for smaller/lighter topwaters and was impressed.  I moved my primary moving bait rod to 16 lb green and I doubt I'll move away from it.  Abrasion resistance isn't critical for me in that application since most of our cover I'm throwing them around is grass.

I found a bunch of suffix siege for the cheap at Ollie’s a couple of years ago . Tried it, loved it , went back and bought all they had .That was a good story, huh? 

[TnRiver46]

They are all good, I’ve used the cheapest worst kinds and they all work well. I was pleasantly surprised with 4 lb Shakespeare mono
