Has anyone ever used Berkley Big game on a spinning setup? How does it perform? I've only ever used it on casting tackle, but the other day I saw the Academy near my apartment has it in 8# test, which got me thinking about the possibility of using it on spinning gear.

no no no no...Big Game for baitcaster. u want use Trilene, u getz sum XL for spinning

I use big game 8 and 10 on 3000 size spinners without much trouble.

Big Game - found anywhere, good performance at a bargain price.  Negatives - not very consistent diameter.  Since it's found anywhere, you can get spools sitting on a store shelf for years exposed to UV light, degrading.  I'll assume that's not true at Academy and I wouldn't hesitate to use 8# on a spinning rod.  Are there better copolymer lines?  Yes, but not at bargain prices.

get suffix elite and save yourself a ton of headaches !!!

X2 or siege I use both on a spinning reel and they are some of the best mono out there.

i would agree that 8lb Big Game is not good for spinning reels.  unless the reel is at least 3000 size.
