I have been using it now for the last 2+ years and really like it. I use the 15lb copolymer and the 65lb braid for my flipping rods. The copolymer is a good strong line with very little memory especially in colder weather.

Great mono for the money, before FC I used it for almost everything.
As mentioned it is strong, low memory and quite abrasion resistent.

Southwest Parts on Mockingbird Ln (Dallas) has it. I believe Lake Fork Tackle carries it if you want to order it online.

I got some at Lake Fork Tackle store in Emory the last time I was out that way but usually order large service spools online from Brannans. A large spool usually lasts all year for me. A 900 yard spool runs about $20.00 + shipping

I've got confidence in it.

I hung up around marker 9 at amistad with some pretty good waves. I was catching fish, so I tied it around the cleat and kept chunking with another pole. It held so long, I thought I had anchored the boat.

One 3-4footer after another, and it held for about 20 minutes before it finally broke. Pretty strong stuff, and the owner is a great guy.

It is my favorite cofilament line. I have been using it for over 20 years now. I have tried many many lines over the years and it is the best blend of strength and low memory in a cofilament line that I have ever used. I haven't tried the HIGH dollar japanese cofilament lines but for the price and quality of Mean Green, I will stick with it for sure.


Southwestern Parts has it as well as Brannans, Tackle Warehouse and Heartland tackle.

Chad---Never thought of anchoring with a hung bait---great idea. Surely this was the braid.

Southwest Parts is the only local store that carries the line. It is very good line that you have alot of trust in. You will not be disappointted in it at all.

Great line - I buy it from Lake Fork Tackle in Emory when I'm at Lake Fork or I order 1K yard spools from Tackle warehouse. Delos Tackle carries it as well. I just ordered some extra clear also.
