Spiderwire Stealth for me. No problems, supple and quiet (definitely quieter than Power Pro - I am not a big fan of Power Pro.) I use it for just about any kid of fishing i do, from 2# up to 100# - 65, 80, and 100 for muskie fishing.

I have used Cortland Spectron some and it is great too.

I have had good luck with P-line Spectrex for the last couple of years, but it has become no longer locally available, so I guess its off to something else.

i was a big fan of stealth ultracast,but now spectrex is my best one.very friendly user,with that line you can say i can stay away from bird nest

Tuf-Line.....the original salt n pepper color
Tuf-Line Plus......because I can't find the original.
Both have great casting qualities and don't hold water.
Toward the end of last year I spooled a few reels with Stren Superbraid. Great stuff. It's round and stays round. Each strand that is woven together to form the line is also round and coated. Casts well and water runs right off of it when you pull it out of the water. Didn't use it enough for a 'favorite' rating, but so far I'm impressed.

Hello,

and here are the results from Germany.

My personal favorites in relationship of price and performance are Power Pro and Spiderwire Stealth. I use them up to 100 lbs. I think both lines are the best buy, and the spiderwire is the No.1 of both. The Stren Sonic Braid in my opinion is also good but a little more expensive.

In Germany many people like the STROFT GTP.

It is a very good line Made in Germany and didn't soak up water, so many angler use them in winter. But there is one problem, it is very very expensive. To expensive for me.

In Japan one of the No.1 lines is YGK Jigman. There are some other very good lines maybe from Varivas and Toray. But all are very expensive and I don't know if they are worth their price.

Bye, Dietmar

p.s.: Some people wrote about problems with Power Pro. Some times ago there are some cheap copies from China of this line on the market. I think I saw some spools some weeks ago on ebay. Maybe this is the reason for the problems. On the old homepage from Power Pro were some hints to identify those copies.

Not sure if it's the "best" line out there, but after using PowerPro, Tuff Line, and several others, I've had the best results with the Cortland Masterbraid, aka bronzeback. It takes longer to get fuzzy, it doesn't soak up a ton of water, and overall it's been very reliable. More than I can say for some other popular brands of line, that's for sure.
