I'm just wondering what all you guys and gals favorite fishing line is. I use Trilene Big Game (solar green) 40 lb test, but I have also used Power Pro. Each of these lines has it flaws, so i'm wondering what you guys use and what the pros and cons are of your choice of line.

I use 80lb PowerPro (red) as my main line and 50lb Big Game for leader material.

Have any of you had problems with power pro burrowing itself into the rest of the line on the spool?

I still think that good ole' PowerPro moss green or red is the best.
I haven't tried Cajun Red yet. What's the attraction to it?

What I like about the Cajun red mono is the smaller dia to lb test means you can put more higher lb test on your spool it has low memory even after 2 yr's on the reel and has excellent abrasion resistance :2wink: |
