I always had problems with knots pulling out and switched to Berkley products and a line that Bagley's sold for a while. Eventually I started using Bass Pro Shops Excel mono. It by far was the best I had ever loaded on a reel. Right now I'm running Berkley again. Vanish, XL, XT, and Big Game in various sizes. When I started fishing again it was nearly impossible to find any BPS Excel or I'd be running that, at least where I need monofilament. 2012 ZX200 Skeeter 2012 Yamaha 200 SHO Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

Few years ago I had another forum member in the boat with me and he was bragging about how great his flurocarbon was. I told him its going to be worthless once we move out deep because he wont be able to see the bite the way we were planning on fishing. I picked up my rod with XL blue on it and put over 30 bass in the boat in a couple of hours. He caught 1 using the same bait because he couldnt see the line jump and twitch when he got bit. Next trip he had XL blue on one of his rods. LOL
