REBFLC Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hello, Is there any manufacturer of NYLON monofilament line out there (usa, japan, others) producing a NYLON monofilament line significantly better than the rest for bass fishing? I want NYLON mono on about half of my rigs. I am not new to this game, but if there is a best out there, I have not found it. thanks, REBFLC Quote

Super User Wayne P. Posted March 17, 2009 Super User Posted March 17, 2009 No nylon mono is "significantly" better than any other. Some have different characteristics than others. The ones that have the least memory are usually the ones with the smallest diameter, the least abrasion resistance and the most stretch. The larger diameter lines of the same pound test have the least stretch, most memory, and highest abrasion resistance. You have to decide which you are willing to give up to get the performance you want. A simple example is to compare Trilene XL and XT in the same pound test. Quote
lowe160 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I have used Berkley Sensation 8 lb. for the last 5 years and I am very satisfied with it. I used to use trilene XL 8 lb but find the Sensation a little more abrasion resistant. Wayne Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted March 17, 2009 Super User Posted March 17, 2009 Sensation is described as a "MULTI-POLYMER FORMULA" Quote
Super User Marty Posted March 17, 2009 Super User Posted March 17, 2009 I agree with the opinion that there is no "best." Get the line with the properties that are most important to you. Quote

If you want to try BETTER lines, fish copolymers: P-Line, Gamma and Yo-Zuri Hybrid are what I would suggest. 8-) Quote
