Used 10#, 12# and 15# big game green for years, as of yet I see no reason to change.

I picked up a couple of spools of the Sunline super natural and really like it, a little pricy but you can find it on sale from time to time.

Give this line a try. It's strong and has very little memory. In Canada, bass season is only for 4 months, so I leave the line on my spools for the combos that I don't use for 8 months. When I take them out to the lake, a few casts later, the line will be limp again. I've spooled reels for friends and recommended it to people all the time and they alway say how much they love it.

The answer is probably still sitting in the back of your truck!

110 yard spools are on sale for $2.99; 330 yards $9.99.

 

 

 

 

Ah crap, I forgot all about that. I emptied out the back of the Jeep, and stashed that spool of line you gave in the garage. I'll dig it out and give it a shot. I just ordered a few spools of super natural from TW. Had to pick up a few ods and ends for an upcoming trout trip, and added some line to get the order up over the free shipping threshhold. Probably ordered one spool I didn't need. What an awesome memory I have. LOL

I guess if you gotta use mono, Sufix Elite should fit the bill.  Works great for all my winter steelheading.

Suffix elite for spinning and smaller test. Suffix siege for more abrasive work

I only use mono on a few set ups, mostly I use 17 lb for spinnerbaits & square bills.  I use 20 lb for throwing rattle baits.   I still have a couple of spools of Trilene Iron Silk, perhaps the best rattle bait line ever made.  ( once you get it wet & stretched each outing, maybe 5 or 6 casts)  Trilene Armor Coated XL is a good substitute, it is the same color and texture, might be the same line, different label.  For plain old mono for throwing spinnerbaits, I use whatever 17 lb mono goes on sale at Walmart every January (except for P line, P line sux).   Stren Dura Tuff,  Spider Wire mono, Suffix all work good.   They all require squirts of Line Magic or that KVD stuff from time to time.   Last year, I had to buy line when I was at Truman and I needed a tough line to throw deep diving cranks in Timber and I wanted more distance and depth than 17 lb line would give me.  The 14 lb  Trilene XL Armor Coated worked good for that application for me.

Don't believe I have ever used line conditioner on the 12# Sufix Elite I'm using on my 50th Zillion.  Memory after setting awhile hasn't been a problem....unlike Big Game in both 12# and 8#.

Tried most on your list and Sufix Elite is the best performer so far. XT is super tough but it just had Way too much memory. 

Another vote here for McCoy Mean Green. My partner Robert got me turned onto it. Strong and very low memory.

Big game is all I have used for years in both fresh and salt water. I love it but I never have to deal with cold temps.

McCoy Mean Green. Give it a shot!

I hate xl so i can probably give u some other lines that i hate for the same reason lol. Suffix elite is probably the closest with mccoy mean green right behind that imo. Havent tried the sunline. Out of curiosity what didn't you like about sensation? I found it handles well and is one of the lowest stretch lines in the market.

Big Game has always served me well enough even up to 20#.  Memory from sitting on the reel usually works out after a few casts using a reaction type of bait.  Maxima is the best mono I've ever come across but is extremely hard to find in my part of the country.  Sufix Elite is fine but Seige seems no different than Big Game to me.

Maxima ultragreen. Also try mean green McCoy.
