Sufix mono - any users?
My 2700 yd. spool of 30# Magna thin is almost spent, and it's time to buy some more mono. Said line is .018" diameter, and I really don't want to get too much thicker if I can avoild it. 0.018 is already a little thick for my Spheroses.
I was on the Sufix web page, and their Seige, Elite, and Titanium are all listed at 0.18 for 20#. I understand that mono ratings are all over the place, so without testing, I don't know if these are stronger than my Manga Thin. What I'd like to know if if anyone has tried any of these and would recommend one? I only use mono in really bony places where I really need to pull not to loose a fish, or the reels I let friends use.
My other choices would be Big Game or Back Country 20#, but I like Sufix braid and wouldn't mind trying their mono.
Thanks
Ty

I like the suffix seige 17 lb test. Smallest dia. mono for that lb. test. Use it for schoolies and albies where light weight lures are required and casting distance is a plus.

Switched from Big Game to Tritanium after nearly twenty years. Use it on my convench and my son uses it on spinning. Much better in all aspects than Big Game except has a shinier coating. Didn't like the glossiness at first, but it doesn't seem to affect the fish. Only problem is locating a dealer, and some dealers really mark it up, although list is about equivalent with BG. Also comes in 15,17, and 20 pound whereas BG is 15 or 20. I buy a one pound spool of 15,20, and 30 to start the season.

Cobia?
I'd like to use 25#, but I can't bring myself to use .02 the spheros, and I'd rather not buy 20 and 25. Decisions, decisions.

yup cobia
the 17 # tri breaks at well over 20 # ...
great abrasion resistance ; that cobe wrapped it self up in 4 other lines . had to wade out past the weave and cut the other lines below it . wasn't bad until i got to the last 2 lines and they were the same color 
smaller diameter = longer distance ; and where i fish the fish aren't in close  |
