Purple Sterns

I've been using Big Game forever and never have had a problem.

Big Game gets my vote for topwater line. Trilene XT is also good.

Big Game is bueno for tops. Reliable and inexpensive. You could spend more but no need to.

I use Big Game on everything from my bass reels up to my 50W setups for marlin & makos offshore. Great stuff!

Quit using Big Game many years ago as it has too much stretch for good hook sets. Big Game was designed mostly for salt water where there is more stretch needed for big fish surges and shock resistance.

You must have gotten a bad spool of McCoys Mean Green.

For topwaters at El Salto, I'd use 20lb McCoy's Mean Green. Floats better than Big Game (more buoyant due to silicone copoly with the mono), as strong, just the right amount of stretch. Big Game is too stretchy which leads more difficult hooksets on long casts and more memory.

For big, heavy topwaters that you can cast a long distance and frogs, I'd take some 65lb braid. Almost no stretch is great for hook sets at the end of a very long casts.

Pline is copoly mono with fluoro and thus has a more neutral buoyancy, slowly, slowly sinks--great for jerkbaits, swimbaits, baits in the middle of the water column and baits on the bottom where you want the bait to stand up (Neko rig, shaky head, mushroom head, etc)

Obviously there are a lot of good lines out there and a lot of opinions on what is the best. But one thing I've learned is if you leave your reels out in the sun for extended periods of time the sun will break down the line. Keep your reels covered, upside down on the deck, and protect the line. The line will last longer for you, cast better for you, and will be stronger.

good old Bass Pro Excel ..iv used it all and keep coming back to it.

Much better! Most of those others can't compare,for spinner bait, shallow to medium crankbaits.
