I am fully aware that this question has been asked a million times and that I could go back through archives to find the answer. However, I don't want to. I have 6 6500 ABU's that I need to respool. Kinda afraid of Big Game because I have had quite a few lures break off mid cast on my ditch pickle rods. I am wanting to stick with mono. Thamks and fire away

I have used big game for alot of years and love it. I use the 25# solar green for my main line and a 50# leader all big game.

I've had good luck with the Bass Pro Tight Line saltwater mono in the hi viz. They sell it in 1077 yard spools. I run 6 Abu 6600's spoiled with 25 lb main line. I use the big game mono for leaders. 30 lb leader in the summer and 60 lb leader in the winter.

Big Game 25lb (usually moss green) mainline with a 50lb mono clear leader.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!
