6 and 8 lb trilene XL for me.

8 lb XL trilene. I cast and jig for walleye 6 days a week in the summer. I change my line every week. And cut off about 8 feet a day

I replace monofilament every other year these days. Used to do it annually but the rods just don’t get out as much as I want them to. I use Momoi High Catch exclusively. Braid doesn’t get changed out that often. I’ve got a lot on my bigger reels that’s hasn’t seen daylight since it was spooled. Bigger stuff I’m using Jerry Brown. Spinning reels I’m using JBraid metering. It’s nice when I’m jigging and trolling to know exactly how much I’ve got out.

J-Braid x 4, 10lb blue braid. Same diameter as 2lb mono. Way better than most other braids. Little more difficult to tie a knot. Wicked strong but can still be broken off if hung on a snag.

Rods for big catfish and spoonbil have 80 pound pound powerpro. 50 pound trilene mono leader attached with a swivel. Get hung up I dont lose the expensive stuff. That thin powerpro the reel holds a lot of line. Channel cat rods rods for drifting have 30 pound powerpro and a 20 pound leader. Have a few with straight 20 pound trilene. Crappie bass baitfish rods have 8 pound trilene. Same with push button reels for grandkids.

I use 30 pound test spider wire on everything,,,, I replace it every year… I fish for catfish and that line gets beat up going through all kinds of debris.. you never ever know what you are going to catch using live bluegill as bait in the river.30 pound test seems to work well for me and I don’t loose very many fish

I run mostly Vicious yellow mono. Changed my crappie rigs twice already this spring. I can buy a 2000+ yard spool for $8. Fishing the docks and cables is hard on line, but the vicious has held up well for me the past 4-5 years.

P-line is tough line. The fluorocarbon can get pricey and I do still use 10 lb on a senko/ned rig or two.

On my bait casters for bass, I use trilene big game 20 lb.

Been using KastKing braided on heavier gear, 30-50#, some is 4,5 years old.
Lighter stuff, a mix of Andes, Trilene XT, etc, that gets changed every year or two.

That said, have some mono.that I KNOW has been in use 5-10 years with no.issues.

I use Stren 6lb. (green) on my ultralight crappie rods, 12lb on my bass bait casters, 17lb CBF on my big catfish rods, 8lb CBF on my lighter spinning rods. There's a few specialty rods for other fishing that I use various lines as well. I change it all as needed.

Oh and I use #24 braided 240lb on my main lines for trot lines and ditty poles and #18 160lb on the drops. I change it as needed as well, but it lasts LOTS of years.

I had tried Berkley Big game and it would not lift the weight the line was rated for

what I like about the Pline besides thin and tough is that if it is rated for 10 pounds , no problem tying a 10 pound weight on and lifting it , can even give it a shake and it holds.

the Big game I could get to 70-75% of the rating and it would break, my sample size was one 300 yard spool but I repeated the test with several knots and it failed repeatedly.

as I understand it lots of companies play with how the test must be run , I want to tie a common knot to a weight and slowly lift with a 3 foot section of line , that seems reasonable to me

saying it needs to be in water , or some sort of knot your not going to tie to tackle , or needs to be a longer length to give it more room to stretch , just seems like a cheat to me

simple test easily repeatable in any setting , weight , common knot , lift , or it isn't really strong enough and should be called by the 90% of break point weight.

Spiderwire Stealth braid... I reverse it on the spool when it gets a little frayed looking... I only put 100-125 yds on anyway and just use any old line for a filler beneath it.

12# monofilament has been on my Abu Garcia for 35 years…
