[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 367722, member: 330"] 6/20 "general"; 4/15 "trout": Does anyone remember the "hugeness" of 20lb mono? It was muskie line and for flipping bass in grass mats. When they were able to produce round braid it was an ethereal gift from the heavens. I figured out how to hold my mouth just right to cast the old flat stuff on spinning (It was a HARD "side-armish" deal with "extra" extended elbow and straight wrist). I'm enamored with the diameter/strength ratio even more; as said before I believe we're in the Golden Age of fishing. In my youth back in the Hills I lost a few fish which still haunt me. Had I used heavier mono; casting would've suffered and the "memory/twist" may have prevented the strikes in the first place. Anyways; I used to be a huge fan of PowerPro until it became as expensive as everything else. I mostly shop for deals in my parameters. I use straight braid in combo of Sharpies, bbl swivels, speed clips and Palomar Knots: Don't know what this says about me: I have a USA Quantum still "good enough" spooled for a bank/bait situation spooled in '04. A spool to fill the reel and another for leaders: Clip the main line and replace swivel whenever you feel doubt. I like cheese and it's enzymes. [/QUOTE]
