GREAT THREAD!

I thought there would be MORE divergent opinions.
Many people think the same, hopefully from individual experience.

I like "Big Game" as well, but only above 15 # test.

Gor 12 # test and under I like XT.

But thr REAL sleeper is STREN.
Try a spool of 14 # test, "low-vis green".
GREAT LINE!

I never used ANDE for spinning, but it's decent on Conventional tackle...easier to tell when it's time to replace it.

Speaking of "replace" I have 30# test Fireline on a few reels. The oldest one is in it's 4th year. Almost white now, the line shows no sign of weakening! My only complaint about Fireline is that it's an environmental disaster! But ANY line is trouble when not disposed of properly. Fireline just lasts longer.
