mlpauley Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Every mono i have tried, within a couple trips the memory on it is horrible. Anyone know any great mono line? :question Quote

Super User eyedabassman Posted April 17, 2009 Super User Posted April 17, 2009 Sufix gets my vote! Quote
Super User islandbass Posted April 17, 2009 Super User Posted April 17, 2009 Sufix gets my vote! x2 Of all the monos I have tried, nothing resists memory like Sufix, siege or elite. I thought intially that there claim of low memory was hype and hooey, but it really isn't. I have 10# siege on my Curado 101D that I put on probably in August last year. I broke out the reel a few days ago and slapped in on one of my rods to cast around outside and I was amazed that practically zero memory in the line. Try sufix. No mono I've tried beats Sufix in the memory department. Quote

adclem Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 If it has to be mono then Trilene XL Smooth Casting. If it does not have to be mono then Yo-Zuri Hybrid all the way. ;D Later, Quote
aarogb Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Also agree that Trilene XL Smooth Casting won't give you much memory problems. Also it wouldn't hurt to use some KVD Line and Lure conditioner. Quote
Pitchinkid Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 If it has to be mono then Trilene XL Smooth Casting. If it does not have to be mono then Yo-Zuri Hybrid all the way. ;DLater, x2 I think you would like Yozuri hybrid. Its a copolymer. Not very expensive either. Treat it with some KVD line conditioner and you got you some fine, limp, non-memory line. Quote
MA1232 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 For mono only ... People seem to like both the Trilene XL or the Suffix Elite. ?Here is a review on the Elite ... http://www.tackletour.com/reviewsufixelite.html They like the XL too but they score the Elite higher for casting and low memory. I picked the Elite due to a deal at Target fro $6.24 normally $8.99 and rebate for $6 for two spools. Otherwise, I would go with the XL $5.99 at Dick's Sporting plus $6 rebate for two spools as well. However, it seems like braid with 4' - 6' fluoro leader is the best combo. After, reading many thread and review. I HAVE NO REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE! tight line! Quote
booneangler Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 if im using mono its 90% Triline Big Game other 10% is P Line CXX. Try using some KVD Line and Lure Conditioner that stuff works great. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted April 17, 2009 Super User Posted April 17, 2009 I've been a die hard Trilene XL fan for years, still am. Picked up some Sufix on clearance at Wally World last year for $4.00 a spool. This is excellent line also. I would use either one with no problems. Quote
Super User Raul Posted April 17, 2009 Super User Posted April 17, 2009 Nylon will loose the memory as you fish with it and once it begins to soak in water. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 17, 2009 Super User Posted April 17, 2009 Original stren is the best I have found. If you are getting coils, tie your line to something and slowly walk back from it, pulling on the line to stretch it out and tighten it up. I have found trilene XL to be brittle with no abrasion resistance. I also like P - Line CX Premium. It has less memory than the CXX. Quote
fivesixone Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 If you're using spinning gear, I like Sufix Siege way better than the Elite. Quote
michaelkim_9582 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 i love the sufix seige, but never tried the elite. what are the key differences between the two and which do u like better. From all the monos i've used. I like sufix and stren. stren tends to be more strechy. Quote
NBR Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I have used Berkley XT, XL and Sensation, Stren, BPS XPS, and probably a few others and have not had a troublesome memory problem with any of them. Generally I use from 8 to17# test so we are in the same range. While KVD line conditioner might help I suspect there is something else going on here. Quote
