12Outlaw Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I have tried every flavor of line. You name it and I've tried it. Mono and floruocarbon. I think that I have finally finished my line expierment. I went back to using what I used when I was a kid--Trilene Big Game mono. I use 10/12 pound for cranks and 15lb for soft baits and jigs. I use Power Pro braid for frogs, swim jig, and flipping heavy cover. Am I the only one out here that still uses Big Game or am I all alone? Quote
skillet Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Not you're flavor but I used reg. Stren for more than 25 years. Have talked to other folks that tried everything and finally went back to mono... As Ever, skillet Quote
Ky_Lake_Dude Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Nope Big Game is almost all I use but Im beginning to take a liking to P-Line Floroclear Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I'm a big fan of Ande Outback Blue. Costs about $2.50 to spool a spinning reel. I am still using last yrs!!! NOT spending $20 to spool a reel has not affected our videos 8-) ;D Keepin it on the down Low (Budget) Quote
Curado Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I do use fluorocarbon and braid but when I'm using mono it's Big Game. Quote
bronzeback01 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I used to love stren easy cast it had ZERO MEMORY then they stopped making it so now i use sufix elite mono, Quote
0119 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Anybody try the Big Game Inshore? Im not even sure they still make it. It was supposed to be limperand available in lighter lb. test. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 5, 2008 Super User Posted April 5, 2008 I used to love stren easy cast it had ZERO MEMORY then they stopped making it so now i use sufix elite mono, I loved Easy Cast. They changed the name to Magnaflex, but now they quit making both. Idiots. Quote

It was supposed to be limperand available in lighter lb. test. They used to make a line called Big Game Premium, which was much more limp. Now they quit making it. Quote
Super User Raul Posted April 5, 2008 Super User Posted April 5, 2008 Am I the only one out here that still uses Big Game or am I all alone? Nope, you 're not alone. Big Game user here too. Quote
Bassnajr Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Mono is still the all around go to line. That having been said, once you try braid, in my case Power Pro, you won't go back. The sensitivity is astounding. Downfall...$$$$$ it is very expensive!!! JMO bassnajr Quote
Madhouse27 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 For my reels that have mono on them I use Stren green. Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 5, 2008 Super User Posted April 5, 2008 One guy in our bass club uses Big Game. He likes it. I have never used it and am trying Yo-Zuri this year. But the guy in my club does well so I guess Big Game is OK. Quote
Styx Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Been using Big Game GREEN 10#, 12#, 15# and 20# test for many moons now.....and still a satisfied customer. Quote
Willzx225 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I use Big Game for 90% of my mono uses but have been eyeing the Sensation as a possible replacement since I started using it for spinning rod applications. Who knows. :-/ Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Big Game is the line to go with if you are using mono, and you can pick up a 1/4# spool almost anywhere fishing equipment is sold, and it is tough as nails. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted April 10, 2008 Super User Posted April 10, 2008 the only thing about BG you have to worry about is should i be using 12 lb or 15 lb or maybe even 8 ...ITs that darn good yehawwww Quote
Joel W Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 For the last few years I've tested, used, and threw out more line then I care to remember. Flouro is great, but it's just too expensive for my tastes. All my baitcasters are spooled with Power Pro and most have a co-poly or Mono leader. My two spinning reels, one for drop shotting has 10 lb Power Pro/swivel/#8 lb Sufix Elite, and my other spinning reel has straight #8 lb Sufix Elite. If I can't find the Elite, I use Trilene XL instead. A oldie but a goodie. Still works great for me. Quote
eastkybass Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 My go to line is still Triline xtra tough or xl. XT for my spinnerbaits and worm fishing and xl for my crankbaits. I have tried others but I seem to always go back to these two. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 11, 2008 Super User Posted April 11, 2008 Trilene XL is just brittle junk after they changed the forumula. Seems it gets rough surface and breaks very easily as soon as sunlight hits it. Stren Easy Cast/Magnaflex was a great line. I miss it. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 11, 2008 Super User Posted April 11, 2008 I heard big game has a lot of memory though and coils like crazy. Am I right? I know the big game supreme Trilene used to make was a very good line. Quote
