Buoyancy of monos, Copoly, coated and hybrid lines

Featured Replies

I propose a collaborative list...

There should be a definitive list of floating/neutrally buoyant vs. sinking lines. Hard info to come by I've noticed. Crucial for topwater applications however.

For example, Triliene XT is pure mono, but its dense/heavy, so it doesn't float all that well really. XL does float well. So does Big Game.

Then theres armor coated triliene, which is NOT mono, even though its advertised as mono. It has a coating, making it a hybrid composite line really. However, it does float almost as much as XL. 

Similarly, McCoy is a coated copolymer. Mean Green has a fluorocarbon coating. However...its also coated with silicone, which increases buoyancy. it floats for the most part. The blue fluorescent McCoy, I believe has the same kind of coating basically. 

Then there is Yo-Zuri. A copolymer blend. and its heavy line.... Sinks like a stone...worse than pure flouro. 

 

On a scale buoyancy increasing scale from 1-5 (1-fast sinking, 2-normal sinking e.g.fluorocarbon, 3-slow sinking, 4-mostly floating, and 5-floats well):

Triliene XL - 5

Triliene XT-3

Armor coated XL - 4

Big Game - 5

Mean green mono - 4

Yo Zur hybrid - 1

Seaguar red, invizx, and abraizx - 2

Yo-zuri HD flouro leader - 1

 

Thats all I got. Agree? Disagree? Others to add? Theres so many variants I think we need this reference. E.g. other hybrids? Denser Monos? Fireline? I have no experience with one way or the other.
