Trilene XL, won't go with anything from DuPont as they pollute the world.

I'm with Mikey on Stren. Never had a problem with it (I use 8 lb test for most applications) and they make a color called clear blue fluorescent that is easier to see which helps a lot even at night...I add a fluoro leader for line shy fish.

For the guys asking about Fluoro as main line - I use it for light finesse fishing and through my years of research only 1 has stood the test of time, especially on spinning reels - Seaguar Invisx - it's the only one that has NEVER given me the typical fluoro / spinning issues.

Trilene here as well, however unlike anyone else so far I like the XT

[jimmythegreek]

I buy the 5000 yd spool in 12lb of either XL or XT for my 12 linecounter trolling setups, been using it for 4 yrs now and handles anything Ive caught. for my baitcaster for bottom bouncing I like 15lb mono for the stretch factor and all my spinning setups I run 15# powerpro in regular and superslick.

I was never a fan of trilene. The xl has zero abrasion resistance and rather poor UV resistance, and the xt is just too stiff. I've long been a fan of Stren but for a number of years I used strictly Silver Thread until they went out of business. Stren has very good abrasion resistance and UV resistance and is nearly as limp as trilene xl but with much better knot strength and overall tensile strength.

BTW I use mainly 6lb line for everything from trout to smallies, lmb, walleye, even small to medium stripers in the Delaware. I do keep a couple poles strung with 10lb for those times when conditions and/or location warrant heavier tackle, i.e. chasing fish larger than 9-10 lb.
