Yes. Sufix has mono/copoly/flouro/braid for every application. If you want bulk spools look for Sufix Superior or Sufix Tritanium.

IMHO...Suffix is the best mono on the market and I've fished most of them. I don't care what you do with most of them you can maybe get 3-4 weeks out of a fresh spool...Now Suffix if you use a silicone spray and treat your line often it will last 2 months or more before needing to re-spool. Try it out if you don't believe me. I have some old Suffix deep cranking line that has been on one of my cranking rods for 6 months, still cast perfectly, not brittle and I caught fish with it last Saturday!

Try some mean green by McCoys and it will last a long time!

Mean green sucks. Stretches like a rubber band and breaks easily.

NO unless you like fishing with a rubber band, at least that was my experience with Suffix Seige.

McCoys is one of the best co-polymer lines on the market as far as a blend of manageability and strength.

P-Line Premium is another good co-polymer line.

Big Game is a good value for the money if you choose to use a monofilament line.

Wow, your line has a short life span.
