Does anyone use Trilene Big Game? I bought a spool the other night but it seems like it coils up on me a lot. I could barely even re-spool my reel, but I also havent used 20lb line before either.

I was just wondering what other line you would suggest around the same strength. Also, does the color of the line really matter, and which do you prefer?

Thanks!

It's on 8 out of 10 reels, 12# to 40#. What type of reel are you putting it on? Big Game has memory, but it has never been a problem for me. I use Big Game for almost all of my fishing.

Bill Dance Quantum Baitcaster, ive heard people talk about line memory but what exactly is it? When im fishing the line seems fine, it was just a pain to spool, and coils up a bit without any tension unlike other lines ive used.

The higher the lb test, the more you are going too see that.  20lb mono is way up the scale so you can expect that from Big Game or any other mono.

Thanks for the help everyone

Big Game is the best mono I've ever used Its on all but I think 1 of my reels

Big Game Green is fast becoming my favorite for Bait Casting reels. I was a die hard Cajun Red Cast fan for a long time but after trying this stuff I believe it's just a little less forgiving in memory.

I was using #12 and #17 in the Cajun Red cast but now after trying this Big Game in #15 test I just may use it on all my reels

As for color I'm not so sure I agree that Bass or any other fish can tell the color of your line or care for that matter. Fish have been caught on line thats all colors of the rainbow and then some over the years.

Memory in line is the way line stays in curls when you unspool it.Some people seem to feel that it affects casting distance and creates more and worse birds nest too so they all have been looking for the Holy Grail of mono line, Mono with no memory at all. As far as I know it doesn't exist in Mono lines but some of the newer lines are getting better all the time, Mike

I am a confessed line ho.  I came back to Trilene Big Game 10,12, and 15 pound test.  For heavier applications I use Power Pro braid.  As far as memory, anything that is 20 pound or bigger is going to have memory.
