Default Fishing Lines

What kind of lines do you all use? I mainly use fireline and vanish transition. The fireline I find has amazing strenght, great for fishing where you get snags lots...most of the time you can just rip whatever you have off the bottom But if it does break, it sounds like a shotgun going off, lol. Vanish is awsome because its so clear, strong, and abrasion resistant, hardly any memory aswell.

Not a big fan of mono, seems like it has tons of memory and always gets tangled on my reel. So what do you use?

Default magna thin

I have recently put on Magna thin line on my reel and it sucks. It knots up and is very stiff. Maybe it was designed for bait casting reels. I guess I will try some fireline. I have always had good success with the regular XL line.

Default Fishing Line

I mainly use Power Pro Line round like mono casts smoother and further as well as you can't break it with your fingers you have to use a knife or cutters of some sort I swear by it.

Oh yeah, powerpro i forgot about...I used to use it a year ago lots, for everything, just kind of switched to fireline because when you cut it, it doesn't go all unraveled or whatever where you cut it. Plus fish can see it better than fireline I find.

I use Berkley XL as my main lines, its cheap, it works, and breaks free of NSR snags, unlike the rifle shot breaks YOU have from snags. And for the bigger species, Berkley Big Game. For Flylines i use Scientific Anglers Ultra 4 in all my line weights.
