It's time to made your decision and buy .

Oh yeah... you better do a review about it too!

I do not spool anything over 10 lb test on my spinning reels (usually 8 lb for bass and walleye). I currently have 12 and 14 on my baitcasters.

I use 4 lb test on my ultralight but plan to try 2 lb. I'm more of a finesse guy.

Why not use like 4~6lb Fireline/PowerPro? which have diameter of like 1lb mono? and use a leader? in case line breaks way up or something.

I'm a fan of fireline crystal, been trying stren microfused glacier now.

I have tried fireline crystal and didn't like it at all compared to power pro. It just seemed very stiff and brittle. maybe i got a bad disk, cause i often hear good things.

Because, mono is so much cheaper compared to braided. I generally replace line once or maybe twice a year depending how often I go out, so it kind of adds up.

It's pretty rare to have your line cut way up.

Ya I heard mix reviews as well. Some people compare it to wire because it has memory of kinks and stuff. But i'll have to say it's very strong.

i like to use power pro, i would have to say that is my favourite choice for braid.
