Favorite Mono/Floro

I am going to be re spooling a few rods spinning and some trolling. What is everyone’s preferred mono or floro line they use?

I started using Sufix Advance last season for pitching. I really liked it. Very abrasion resistant and a lot less stretch than conventional mono.

Still cant go wrong with Sufix Elite.

I really only use fluorocarbon for leaders. I use Sufix 100% Fluorocarbon Leader Material.

I have basically switched all my reels to P-Line CX. It is a fluorocarbon coated mono based line. Like Stren Magnathin it’s diameter is about 1 size down from most standard mono’s. 8# is the same diameter as normal 6# line and it’s very strong and quite limp. It also doesn’t absorb water like standard mono’s do and does not have as much stretch.

I too have switched over to P-Line CX. I wish I could find the CX in Flo. Green other than on Amazon.

Gamma Polyflex is on all my spinning rods – strong, soft, low stretch, and lots of colors. I mostly run the hi-vis gold in 4lb for walleyes and have never wanted anything else, landed a 10-12lb channel this fall on the Croix while pitching with it.

For trolling I have been running either Trilene Sensation 12lb or Sufix Siege 10lb to match the line diameter (0.012) for the Precision Trolling charts. I’ll likely be getting Sufix Advance 10lb this year to give it a test drive.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Nice thing about the coated is the line is flexible like plain mono-but it is more abrasion resistant and seems to shed water a little more. Flouro has about the same amount of stretch as mono but for ice fishing or for leader material stretch is usually not an issue.

I really like Yo-Zuri hybrid.Just wish it was available in hi-vis.Got a sample in #6,and it out performed any Berkeley line I have used.Otherwise I like Pline CX in clear/blue.

P-Line CX or Floroclear regarding my mono/co-polymer needs. I only use Fluorocarbon for leaders so generally go with Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader.

Count me as a P-Line fan too. Great line!

Your lowest stretch non-braid options would be either Yo-Zuri Hybrid or Sufix Advance. If you need/like a little more stretch try either Trilene XL mono or most any fluorocarbon, although I wouldn’t want straight fluorocarbon on a spinning reel, only as a leader tied to braid for me.

Look like I will be giving the P-line a try. Thank you everyone!

Can’t find suffix advance anywhere. How do you feel it would do drifting points and shorelines? I’m assuming it’s more buoyant than braid?

I was at Marine General in Duluth and they had some. Amazon also has it.
