Default Fishing line that straightens out...

What is the best 12lb test monofilament/copolymer line that will bend the hook straight before it breaks when hooked to the bottom? I use to use Big Game Supreme... but they don't make it anymore.

i find copolymer stronger and more abrasion resistant than mono. that being said, p-line is some dang strong copoly but the memory can be a problem. a good alternative to p-line is yozuri hybrid copoly. it's really strong and abrasion resistant but doesn't have as much memory as the pline. izorline is another good copoly.

Try some sufix 832 braid 30lb....you will like it. Makes power pro feel like kite string.

I like the P-Line when I fish, think its the strongest mono I have ever used. I would like to try the Suffix 832 soon.

P-line is great but memory is absolutely terrible. I can't get the yozuri hybrid but hear great things. All I know is I switched to Suffix 832 and haven't looked back.

Same for me. Does seem to take a little while for the Suffix to break in though.

I may do that its gonna be a while i got a 1500 yard spool of PP to go through.
I put that 832 on my little brothers setup didnt throw it to much just to set the reel, it was smooth, alot quieter than PP, he seems to like it but he is to young to know the difference

lol yall always go right to the braid, not that there's anything wrong with PP or 832. i used them both and there's no doubt diameter to diameter braid is way stronger. but the op specifically asked about mono and copolys. u mean u guys really dont use mono or copoly line on any of your setups??

I use Big Game 12# or 14# on all my reels.
Don't need anything else.

In salt I use braid for everything cept for topwater. I have use copoly in the past and after the second time using the memory is too much and it goes in the trash.

I use YoZuri Hybrid in 12lb mostly ,but I just spooled two reels in P-line 15 to try. I got a feeling its gonna be overkill but I hate losing 7 dollar topwater baits.

He should have asked about braid. Maybe then he would have gotten his question answered. I doubt any mono will straighten a jig hook before breakin'.

IMO, Stren Extra tough is the strongest mono there is.
For some reason I switched to Big Game and like it.
