It really depends on what kind of fishing your doing. I use 30 lb big game in solar collector green for Blues year round and been using big game for 30+yrs for all species. There might be a better line out there but I stick with what works for me. We catch mostly 2 lb fish this time of year but in the event you hang a 70 lbr you’ll sure be glad you have it. Several reasons I still use Big Game are #1 it’s cheap. #2 its strong enough to tow my 23ft boat. #3 is when the green solar collector color starts to fade and get dull it’s time to re-spoil so you never have old brittle line on. Haven’t lost a fish to line breaking in years and we put our fair share of fish in the boat. I spool a ton of reels so I buy the 3 lb rolls of Big Game for $100 which will last me over 2 yrs. Some guys say it has too much line memory but I’ve never had that issue cuz we keep it stretch out on fish. Type of line isn’t that important for 2 lbrs unless your fishing strait down for channel cats in deeper water or your in heavy timber. You need braid to detect those little peckers.

I use power pro braid 40lb test. I fish lots of timber at lake fork so I want to pull some fish out. Power pro braid has performed the best of the braids I have used. I did try some Chinese stuff from online and it would break easily.
