10lb Seaguar InvisX! make sure when you spool it onto a reel to set the spool on its side having the line come off counter clockwise, this will eliminate most line twist, if that still leaves you with some twist there's two ways to eliminate it. First you can go out on the lake, strip all the line off and reel it back in while idling or you can tie it to a fence post or another adequate stationary object and walk out all your line keeping tension on it, when almost all of your line is spooled of turn around and walk towards the end of your line and keep a nice bend in the rod keeping tension on it. I hope this helps you out a little because it sure has helped me.

I much prefer a copolymer line with a flourocarbon outer coating. This type of line has very low visibility while handling like "mono". My favorite is P-line CX Premium in the blue/florescent color. I use 12 lb. on standard spinning reels with good results. I do use the KVD lure/line conditioner which reduces line memory.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

I love seaguar also. I have mine spooled up 8lb test. It all depends on preference and what you are fishing.
