I use Stren original.

So many choices.............Berkley, Daiwa, Spiderline,
Shakespeare............the list goes on.

Never had a problem with Stren.

What do you swear by?

I've used them all. My current favorite in flororcarbon. Don't remember
which one. Too lazy to go look.

I use mono, just because I like the feel when fishing finnicky bass. I
like Stren but mostly use Bass Pro's line.

Here's a good time to ask for opinions.

I used to fish quite a bit when I was a teenager. Mostly in a resevoir in CT
(illegally...got chased by the game warden a few times g), and local
streams, etc. I never paid much attention to what was on the reel. Now being
a relatively new boat owner (4+ years) with a 6 year old son on board, I'm
finally enjoying fishing once again. Now the line question...does it really
matter (don't shoot me)? Right now we mainly troll for large mouth bass in a
local lake, and I believe I have mono (6-8#) on all the reels. We have
fairly good success. Is there something better? I never really paid much
attention to the line, but this thread begged me to ask.

Thanks for your insight.

I agree with Harry: mono on the spool so the Fireline won't slip and a
fluorocarbon leader. Use the setup for walleye in Canada and Saginaw Bay
(MI).

For heavier setups (e.g., Dipsey Divers, downrigger rods, etc.) I use an
abraision-resistant mono.
