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.
