I used Stren when mono was all I fished with starting out but now that I either use Flouro or braid I haven't kept up with the different qualities throughout the various mono brands. I need to pick up some 17-20# for buzzbaits, treble hooked topwaters and such. Which do you prefer? Probably just end up using a 2-3 foot leader anyway so that I don't have to change the spool out every month but still...
If you can't find em wind em.

Big game is good enough for me. If somebody would invent a mono with less stretching and similar sensitivity to fluoro then I would buy that for sure.

Someone turned me onto Suffix Elite a few years ago. I find this line to have less memory and seems to be stronger than labeled test strength. Haven't used any other mono since spooling my first reel.

^^^^ Mcoy's is very good in 15lb test and tough to beat for cranking/topwaters; but, the closest I've gotten to fluoro sensitivity in a mono is Pline CXX mono copoly Also; CXX is less stretchy than Mcoy's. It does have more memory, so braid mainline solves that issue
