Mono Question

Featured Replies

There's not a lot of detail to go into this question, so Im just gonna keep it simple. Is there a certain brand of monofilament line yall prefer that has the lowest memory?

Trilene XL on spinning tackle and XT on bait casting. Also take a good look at P-line cxx. Great strength to diameter.

McCoy...strong and very low memory. It's on all of mine except for one braid setup.

Thanks guys. Iv heard some bad things about the McCoy fluoro, so I may do some research on the mono.

Berkley Trilene XL

Suffix siege

Tried most monofilaments and I keep going back to stren.. Haven't tried McCoy or sunline though

Seaguar Senshi is my goto line for mono.

I'm a long ways from having tried every mono out there.  Personally I find Big Game to have more memory than Trilene XL, Sunline Super Natural or Sufix Elite.  However, it does well after making a few casts to stretch it and get it wet.  I use Big Game in 8# and 12#.  I'd have to say the Elite is currently my favorite of the softer monos, but want to try McCoy and a couple others.

 

I'm using Red Cast on a couple reels (got it at a good discount), and far as I remember, it hasn't had much memory after setting awhile either.

Original Stren. Has a bit more memory than Trilene XL but it is a lot more durable. Some KVD L and L makes it a great limp mono.

Suffix Elite is good too.

Mccoy. I use extra clear

Big game on BCs, XL on spinning, it ain't broke, so I ain't fixing it. Every so often I try the latest "in" line, and always go back. 

Whatever you decide to use please treat yourself to some KVD line and lure conditioner, it is a big help with line memory. Seriously, it's amazing.

sufix siege, before that i used trilene xl, also use big game or original stren on some reels...
