Recently I've been onSunlnie something or rather, lots of Japanese written all over the box, the line is limp and strong, but deteriorates quite quickly. Now I'm back to Trilene Sensatoin and the line is like rope. Next I will try Suffix Seige, lots of good reviews about that line.

I have been using Ande line for the past 20 + years.
They have attained many salt & fresh water records.
In fact the last time I was in the Cabo fishing for Marlin, my captain had all his reels spooled with Ande.
-That trip I landed my largest striped marlin.. Est 300lbs
Ninja Edit: I use Braided line as backing..

Siglon v is a great line for casting, and it comes of so smooth of your pin. One problem is shots cut the line way to easy I've lost so many fish due to this. suffix tangerine another great line very strong will last u for years. My buddy has had he's on for 3 years now he still hasn' t respooled lol. This season I'm goin with ande so far loving it.

Ande is the way to go for sure. Right now I'm running raven 8 pound, i like it, it's a strong main line and it's pretty limp. Before every outing, I walk my line 50 yards out and tie it to something, put a bit of tension on it, and cut it at the end, reel in slowly and it makes it more limp and takes out any twists. I know doing this is hard on your line but I can honestly say I have never broken off any fish above my secondary leader.

There was a large debate on another site,where most used basic 8lb Stren or equivalent.Dropped to similar 6 or 4lb leader line.Reasonable price,very little twist with the proper micro swivel.I also prefer mono over braid for floating.jmo.

I have heard lots of good things said about the lines mentioned. I am trying raven 8lb high vis, and so far seems to be working well.

Yup, I've used both. Raven is very limp and using that now--Drennan leader material.

a lot of saltwater lines are coloured too. i think it depends on the type of water you are fishing most. in slower creeks with lots of snags and overhangs a heavier mainline with abrasion resistance is beneficial where a faster and wider flow may require a smooth thinner diameter mainline to assist in longer casts and easier mending with reduced line drag on the float. its like bass fishing you need 4 different float rods for each condition you face. a spare spool or two would really come in handy. you were saying you wanted to run a red mainline evr think of cajunline?

I usually use Raven 8lb or 10lb high vis line..
I've also used some braided lines recently and I like the hook sets I get at very long distances due to no stretch. I also find the braided lines float well and we even used them in minus 5 with no real freezing problems.
Either way I prefer a line with lower stretch and one that floats. I also prefer high vis lines since the water I fish is often very slow and you need to lay the line on the waters surface more often, a floating line that you can see mends easier and allows for a better drift.. In faster water its not as improtant to have a floating line or a high vis line.
