Me to I love mono. Try the ande backcountry line in 20lb test, the stuff is really fantastic !

I might do that...thanks #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&! I use Berkley Big Game 15 pound mostly (course I fish the sand alot)....in green! I may beef up with the Ande as I got a trip to Rhody soon hopefully and going back to Cutty soon!

I used to use trilene exclusive, but there QC Has went way down hill. So on a suggestion I tried the ande backcountry and really fell in love with the stuff.

Well, since we both fish conventional I will start with abrasion resistance, when you cast the line gets abraided from your thumb, the berkley was horrible with that, the ande holds up well in that department, it also has low memory and comes off the spool super smooth. As for fish fighting , the stuff is just super strong I have been able to really lean into a fish and the line holds up well around rocks. I dont have to change the line as often as I use to. Ericksons Tackle in Warwick sells it in bulk spools or, you can find it online.

For Conventional casting it just seems to have everything I want in a line.

He has it 20,25,30,40 etc.......every size

might be in the minority, but i love braid! got it on all my reels- spins and convenchs.

i love power pro! just i won't ever use it to cast with a convenc reel again. spent way too much time undoing professional over runs. great stuff for spinners or trolling off a boat.
