Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | There are a lot of very good lines out there, I think I have used most of them. In the past I steered toward Power Pro, but as of late I have been changing most over to Spider Wire Stealth. I like that line alot, it is very durable, cast very nice, and holds very little water.

| Fireline (original) is in fact not a braid. The filaments are fused as opposed to woven or braided. Best line? No such thing, only personal preference. Vicous and Spiderwire Stealth in 100#. For everything. |

| After a similar topic last year, I tried Cortland Masterbraid in 80lb test. It seemed to cast smoothly with little wear. The few backlashes were easy to get out. Musky Tackle Online is a good source for the line.

| Last year I used Cortland Masterbraid in 80lb test. I also used Suffix performance
braid also and really liked that. It will be either one of tose on my Luna when I get
it back from being fixed. |

Location: South East Wisconsin | I used Cortland Spectron (80lb) for years. Then switched over to PP (80lb), which I currently use and I like it. However I hear Cortland Master Braid is suppose to be real good. |

Location: Des Moines IA | 100 pound Spider Wire Stealth for me ..... I seem to have alot more backlashes with Power Pro, so I switched last year and really like the Stealth. |
|

|
| 80 lb. Cortland Bronzeback mainly with one reel having Spiderwire Stealth Camo that was put on the line for free when I bought the Revo Toro. It seems to be pretty good line. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | I like Cabela's Ripcord or Cortland. With power pro when I have a backlash, I have to sit down with a line pick to get it out. With the other two, I rarely need a line pick, just need to yank on the line and most times its free. If not I can use my fingers and get it free then. |

Location: N.FIB | I switched from power pro to cortland master braid last year,cortland cast easier and farther,more backlashes but they come out easy.The cortland seemed to fray faster also,power pro I had alot less backlashes,but when I did get one it was a bad one,also cortland seemed to hold more water than power pro.I put the 50lb camo stealth on my spring reel and that worked great for me last year,I only bought it because it was the cheepest and new I wouldn`t be using it for long if I didn`t like it. |

| Bronze back |
|
| |
|
| I have used 80lbs tuffline, suffix, power pro, and bronze back.
I use suffix on my speed reel.
I usually use tuffline because I have never had a line failure ever. So why switch?
I liked bronze back the least of all I have tried. Seems to be harder to take the backlashes out compared to others. Although that may be because it is on the rod my guest or kids use. |

Location: On my favorite lake! | Tufline xp and love it. I am going to try the cortalnd spectron on one of my reels this year. I tried Powerpro and the original spiderwire and didn't like them. The only complaint I have with tuffline is that sometimes the color will fade but it is a solid line other than that no fish losses which is the most important thing. |

Location: Germantown, WI | I've used Powerpro, Tuffline, Tuffline XP and Spiderwire Stealth. I did not like Powerpro for the same reasons others mentioned. My favorites so far are Tuffline XP and Spiderwire Stealth. The Tuffline XP seems to lose its color faster than I would like, but I like the line just fine. This year in addition to Spiderwire Stealth I am going to give some 80# Ugly Braid a try. I got a good deal on a spool of that through Overstockbaits.com. In general I try to balance performance with price and for that reason Spiderwire Stealth has got to be at or near the top of the list. |

What line is everyone using?
