I live Invisix and Blue Label.

 

Tatsu is really nice too but its pretty steep in cost.

InvizX is the best I can afford on my budget and what I use as either mainline or leader on my spinning rigs.

 

Though I'm trying another brand on a few of my casting rigs (don't hurt me) that was received as part of my Fish-Mass gift

For fluoro- Gamma or Tatsu

For copoly - Gamma

Braid - cortland silent flip or smackdown

Fluoro: invizX when straight Fluoro, BasiX as a leader

mono: Big Game

Braid: Power Pro

Been a fan of Invisx for a few years.  I did try a spool of Basicx this year and was pleasantly surprised.  Sensitivity and memory are good, but it isn't near as abrasion resistant as Invisx.  So, while cheaper, probably more expensive in the long run unless you change out a couple few times a year, anyway.

P-Line all the way for me….

 

P-Line “blue” when I want severe abrasion resistance and hand to hand combat scenarios.

 

P-Line Tactical for any moving bait techniques.

 

X-Braid for flipping hydrilla and frogging…going to try their new braid coming out soon as well.

 

I’ve caught more fish on P-Line than any other brand I’ve tried (Seaguar, Sunline, Gamma, Power Pro, Suffix). It’s what works for me and has my trust.

Hard to beat Seaguar Basix when it comes to price and performance so I run it on several reels. Sunline Assassin FC for my finesse setups.

I use a lot of AN40 and Siege.  Braid I like Fins and Sufix 832.  Have a few other lines in mono/co-polymer, but haven't used them enough to decide if I want to replace the first two lines mentioned.

 

Although Big Game works fine, I can't seem to get thrilled with it.  Too common maybe?  I have a tendency to like trying new-2-me things.

 

I use a lot of Trilene 100% fluoro.  I get it very cheap and it has been bullet proof for me.  It doesn’t have a lot of stretch.  
 

Suffix 832 for braid

 

Big Game very limited in using mono or copoly.

 Fins, XS Big Game, really impressed me this past fall. Very smooth, strong, color fast, priced right, MADE IN AMERICA. Nothing about it I don't like. It'll be my braid for muskie and chuck n wind bass baits going forward. I think it'll be a very good braid for flip'n too, but I've got a large stockpile of 832 for that.

Mono/Copoly, I've really become a YZH fan, but I've been very happy with XT and Siege as well.

Braid - I use 832 and PowerPro

Nylon- Berkley Big Game and Trilene XL

Fluorocarbon- Seaguar InvisX and AbrazeX

Copoly- Yo-Zuri Hybrid

Leader material - Yo-Zuri HD Carbon or Seaguar Blue Label

I really like Sunline Sniper.  I might give shooter a try this year.
