Just courious, thats all. I really enjoy throwing topwaters like others but fall short sometimes having enough confidence in the calcutta line with a 15 - 20 dollar bait.

I use Berkley Big Game 15 lb. for topwaters. Berkley XT is also a good mono.

pound for pound I prefer sufix siege. I have never broke a fish off with suffix. it allows me to throw 10-12 pound line wher I would normaly throw 15 pound line. Only problem is it has a little more stretch then other mono.

I agree with Ronnie that the vicious ultimate copoly is a great line at a even better price. There is some issues with their fluorocarbon but I have zero complaits about the copolymer.
As far as mono goes it's hard to beat the old reliable big game. Good line and very affordable.

Viscious flourocarbon is cheap - about the cheapest flouro I have found. After a few weeks it has TERRIBLE memory. Hard to handle, backlashing. I'm going back to BPS flouro.

i am using thier 12# flouro with great satisfaction too. only one I am liking out of the numerous brands I have tried.
now it does have memory.. but 250 yards for $10... I can change line out on the one or two reels I use it on and still be ahead.

Fluoro is not for top water with its sinking properties. I like McCoy's xTra clear in 10 or 12 lb test in open water. I use Sufix performance braid around heavy grass for frogs.

Viscious lines are the top line for todays anglers. The price for this product is a very good deal in todays economy! had to edit this too. Maybe time to hit the sack.

I'm surprised Pline CXX isn't more prevalent...especially down here in Texas where cover, weeds, and large bass rule. It isn't the cheapest, but there isn't a stronger or tougher line. Crystal Clear CXX is all I use...it is just stupid strong and abrasion resistant, not to mention has unbelievable clarity. When I spray my line down with reel magic...I can see the bottom of my spool through the line.

I have not used all the other lines that was mentioned previously. I might be cheap and I am very cautious about buying things that are more expensive just because some well paid celebrity says it is the best out there. I have tried some of them and the line that has never let me down and has never gave me any problems is Ande. The Big Game line is a good bang for the buck also. No other line mentioned above can match the record of the Ande line. More world records caught on Ande line than any of the other lines combined.......... period. ______________________ Notch
