I still use mono (yo-zuri) is good like John says. Not great but very good quality. I find on cold nights it tend to get wind knots. The fire line or various braids I have still not convinced yet. Lots of other guys already are. It has some major advantages. But they frey but they are strong and there is no stretch. You can feel pickups better.

I met guys spin-casting 50 lb because the dia is so small it is like casting 17# test but you hav 50 and you can whale a 4 oz plug into a gale. You will need a finger protecter or glove if you give value you finger tip at all.

Usually by the end of novemember my finger is a bloddy scab and I don't feel much of anything. (Great Thanksgiving dinner table conversation) Once you were it down to the bone it stops hurting.
