Default Advice on fishing line.

I'm going to quit using monofilament line this year. My buddies say that it's about time I joined the 20th century!!
So, what do you guys suggest for line and why do you prefer it? Also, what type of knot do you use with your line?

Right now, I use 6# TrileneXL for jigging and 10# TrileneXL mono for casting spoons and cranks. I use the 10# TrileneXL for dragging around my bottom bouncer as well.
Thanks for your opinions.

Your moving into the 20th century and I'm moving backwards.

I have been using braided line for the last couple years and have seriously been considering going back to trilene mono. I like the strength with a small diameter in braided line, but prefer mono when I'm casting.

I use powerpro usually with mono or flouro for leaders.

Works for me

My name is Gust and I decided to go backwards too.

Mono for me.

However, go buy some other lines, try the Power Pro like Beedude suggested and also try a nice fluoro like P-Line, or a blend. Others will give tips on knots and such.

both have their places and advantages. I'll always use mono for trout I may be wrong but the bit of stretch helps on the fast hard runs, so they don't pop your line. drag set?...I know I know but still prefer mono for brooks and bows.
