What is everyones favourite fishing line to use?  I've been a diehard Trilene XL fan since the munchkin years and have for the most part instinctively grabbed the stuff off the shelves.  I have tried a couple "super lines' but so far have ran back to the good old tried and true. Technology and manufacturing processes are improving all the time and it has been a while since I tried something new.

For me stren for mono.  Trilene gets to bridle to fast. Cost me a few big fish. Never again. Same for fluorocarbon   And power pro fro braid.  Never let me down.

Yes sir...stren.....*where's the thumbs up smile?"

I'm old shcool,, I stick with mono lines. Big fan of the Maxima Ultra Green. Have all my Salmon and Laker reels wound in 20# and 15# respectivly. My walleye reels are in 8# Ultra Green and my Pike tip ups are 12# Ultra Green.

I recently bought a spool of 6lb fluorocarbon line and tied 20' of leader with it on all of my icefishing rods. Berkly vanish is supposed to be invisible in the water so I'm hoping it will improve my catch rate with line shy trout. I normally used a monofilament line like Trilene and never really bought into the ice fishing specific lines.

I've thought about this for a bit and I just want to say that my favorite fishing line is.........*drum roll*

A tight line...lol

Sonny for the win

hey JustinC,
i have NOT had any issues with the XT.
a spool will last me multiple seasons. and im a stickler for checking my line each trip.
like i said i stick with a product that proves reliable!!!

Never been a fan of the braids for my spinning gear. I ran them for a while on my walleye gear a few years back when they first came out but gave it up, just didn't like the feel and what a pain to tie, you have to pack a set of snips to clean your knots off nice or to cut the line clean. With that said I do run braid on my Sturgeon rod and my Hali rods. I like the small diameter for the fact it has less resistance in current. Both important things when fishing in a river or in heavy tides in deep water makes it much easier to get to bottom

Years ago I liked super silver thread line but I don't think they make it anymore.

power pro super slick! if you haven't tried this stuff yet its unreal!.

X2. 

It's definitely the best superline I've tried to date.  I'll have the option to use this on all my rods this year.  If superlines aren't part of your arsenal, you're really missing out IMHO.  The sensitivity and strength are vastly superior to mono.  The key is to switch to ML rods and back off your drag on reels with good drag systems.  A 5-8' fluorocarbon leader reduces line visibility and makes for easy lure changes.  I've been using Berkley 100% fluoro, but there are other good options out there.

I do like to keep spools of mono handy too, especially if fishing really shallow.  I generally use Sensation, I find it's a little stronger and thinner than XL.  PLine is good too.

Trolling rods for cranks I use Fireline 10/4 in Crystal.  Excellent visibility above the water to be able to read your lure, tough as nails, and gets you more depth with less line.  You do need longer and softer rods and a nice loose drag to make up for the lack of stretch.

Personely I don't ever seem to have a problem with line breaking,, thats what drag systems are for.. Like I said I have switched to the new lines on certain rods but not for the toughness per say but more for the diameter vs touhness..

I made that same argument on the anal board lately and got a lot of flack about it.
