mono preferences
p line cxx is my go to for dropper loops. i think it makes better knots and retains strength better for that purpose. both are great lines and would not be crime to switch roles. both also great for fly lining and yo-yoing. i keep big spools of each in 40 lb for winter fishing so i can keep em fresh n change out frequently. imho ande and big game will get job done, but definitely not as nice as above. |

I've used Berkley big game (clear) or Ande (pink) for mono bought in bulk for 30+ years and stored in an spare ice chest to preserve the integrity! I'm planning on purchasing an arsenal of Terez rods for fishing braid with Seaguar Top-shot as they have very moderate actions to absorb shock but with a heavy backbone but section.

I've gotten away from mono and use braid with a short fluoro leader. I use seaguar fluoro for heavier lines and haven't had trouble with it. Most fluoro is stiffer than mono so you have to be a bit more careful with your knots. I've been doing more bay and fresh water fishing and use 4-6 rods. For this fluoro I bought a couple 150 yards filler spools of Berkley vanish. It has worked fine and using 10 yards a trip it saves some cash. My last mono hold out is an old jig stick. 40 lb Berkley big game has always worked well. Mike
