Is this still one of the World's Top Ten Monos?


Recommended Posts

Gotta love those superlines, DG. No stretch means better hook-ups, and thinner diameter lines without sacrificing strength. I'll keep my eye out for your preferred brands for future purchases, since I replace my lines every season. I'm always open to new techniques and products.

 

I don't know if you troll, but if so, have you ever used leadcore line?

I've been using 2 colors (60 ft.) of leadcore with leader this spring with good results. It drops about 8-10 ft., depending on boat speed, and rises & falls nicely in turns which triggers strikes. It's an excellent alternative to full core for shallow fishing, since a full core will drop 40-50 feet. Deadly when fished with planer boards.

Yup, superlines are excellent .. just so long as you remember to ignore any claims that they have abrasion-resistance even one-tenth of that of your Ande Mono

I use and recommend TUF-Line from Western Filament because (a) the lines are excellent and (B) Western Filament is one of the very few companies in the world who actually braid lines themselves {ask yourself where Innovative Textiles get their Power Pro } and © I've visited the factory which is top-notch and the people are great and (d) the price is right

Nope, I don't troll often enough or deep enough to warrant lead-core, but Budgie obviously does

Great info, DG; I'm going to have to try their product.

 

What were you doing in Grand Junction, Colorado?

I see that Kryston have brought out a new line, Kryston-ite, a "super copolymer monofilament with fluorocarbon coating".

At the risk of over-plugging WF, I meant to say that they also do a lead-core trolling line
