what are the best brands of mono i currently use seagur its okay but im looking for better

[Capt.Bob]

Berkley Trilene XL, XT, and Big Game, just decide what you want it for, and one of these will do it well.

[roadwarrior]

Sunline Super Natural

Izorline XXX

[BassCats]

I suggest trying the Trilene XL armor coated

note: this line is smoother than XT and Big Game without the memory, yet is just as strong and resistant.

It is a little thicker than XL so get a size smaller than you normally would.

[Mr Swim Jig]

Never have tried the Sunline Super Natural but have heard lots of good things about it. I really like Suffix Elite and have been trying the new Spider Wire Ultracast Ultramono and have been impressed with it so far the couple outings I have had with it so far.

[SirSnookalot]

Not a review or recommendation, just an experience. For continually cast and retrieve I use mono on only one set up, I do respool often. I use my same procedure most of the time, soaking my line in hot water before putting it on my spinning reel. I use 14# and have little or no problem with suffex elite and spider wire xxx, as I needed to respool I put some Stren original (same test and line diameter), I have never seen line coil and jump off the reel like that before. I then respool with my standby trilene xl, no coil at all, line supple, been on the reel for 5 or 6 days and haven't had the need to troll it out. As far as strength and knot holding, I catch barracuda on this outfit, enough said.
Just can't justify using anything but trilene xl from now on, it's pretty cheap too.

[BASSclary]

Seaguar Senshi, or Sufix Elite/Seige depending on technique.

[MCS]

Stren megathin, and close number 2 is Trilene xl

[tugsandpulls]

i try to use all kinds after reading all the threads on here floro braid superlines all the pros say use this use that but i always end up going back to triline xl up here in the north it works the best for me in the places i fish the xl armor coat is too stiff just plain in expensive triline xl is my favorite

[LuckyHandsINC.]

I really like suffix elite. It handles well breaks well above rated poundage and it may sound weird but I like the way it feels under my thumb when casting.

[Jig Meister]

Always used Stren Org. love it, going to try Siffix Elite after hears all sorts of good things.

I am about to say screw FC/Braid and just rock all mono like I did when I was a kid, cheaper and works the same from what I can tell.

[J Francho]

If you're talkin old school nylon mono, then Suffix Elite and Siege are both good options. I don't use either for bass fishing anymore, but I have caught many a mid teens salmonoid on some pretty light line. For bass fishing, I prefer something tougher, like P-Line CXX. Pretreating the line with KVD Line & Lure is a must.

[Bluebasser86]

Mustad ultra line is some great stuff if you can find it. A camping store by me sells bulk spools with several thousands yards of line on them for 10 bucks apiece and it's basically all I use with my treble hooked baits. The new P-line C21, while not a mono, fishes super easy and is very strong and only $4.99 for a 300 yd spool.

[Sam]

Anthony908, as you can read from the above posts everyone has their favorite mono.

All I am going to do is add to your list of lines to consider.

ANDE

ANDE is a saltwater mono that is strong and works great.

I use the 15# test on baitcasters for treble hook baits.

Bass Pro Shops mono is also a good option. Not expensive and it does a good job as far as a mono line goes.

[Bankbeater]

Big Game in 15 pound.
